First Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for January 07, 1991
All caught up!
January 08, 1991
Transcript:
Nate: Our homework is, we have to write a hundred words in this journal every day. A hundred words! Fortunately one picture is worth a thousand of those suckers...
Omg lol he sure wasn’t the shortest kid in the school then looks like he’s shrunk and also been in 6th grade fir 25 years but i get why and if u think he got held back your W-R-O-N-G because francis jenny gina teddy and others like artur are still there.
The comic that caused me to wanna be a cartoonist a few years back. Thanks for being my hero, Mr. Lincoln. I’ve always wanted to send a comment to my hero, but I just made my account today!
There’s so much spam comments in this strip, if y’all respect Big Nate comics, stop putting meaningless spam just to add the comment count. Anyway, 26 years of Big Nate already? Wow! Awesome job Peirce, long live Nate!
It’s so funny how they seem like their shouting at each other because all the letters (besides written ones) are IN CAPS but u don’t really notice ’em…
Too bad Nate doesn’t use his intellect for school. The difference between Nate and Ellen lies in the fact that although Nate has a higher I.Q. (Intelligence Quotient) than Ellen, he does not apply himself at school and only uses his intellect for immaterial things whereas Ellen is sedulous and works meticulously at school to earn high marks.
when the saints go marching in they like trains and are gonna die in a hole like everyone on planet xorgax like yeeyee i like trains o yee this is the very first comic of all time i frink aerosal for breakfast thats when you break like oh yeet y33t y331 not the one but plural twenty five respond #slay #tokoolforskool i am so emo kid yeet
lol! The 90s! Seriously though, what’s up with the legs! Nate you played basketball or something? Maybe you should start STRETCHING more because your so short now!
How does the first strip have half the comments of the most commented strip? (Btw I’m saying this at the time that this comment has 500 comments and the most commented has 1000 so if this info is inaccurate then don’t cry).
The reason why the characters look so much different now and then is because Lincoln Peirce draws the comic by hand, not on the computer, and he can’t draw identically every single time, but a computer potentially could.
Big Nate poll guys: Do you like the Big Nate Novels better (Big Nate In A Class By Himself, Strikes Again, On A Roll, Goes For Broke, Flips Out, In The Zone, Lives It Up, and Blasts Off) or the Big Nate TV Show? They are all good, but you can only pick one
Riddle of the day: What word in the English does the following descriptions: the first 2 letters signify a male, the 3 letters signify a female, the 4 letters signify a great person, and the whole word signifies a great woman.
im surprised that the first big nate comic has over 200 more likes then the first calvin and hobbes (on gocomics) and more then the first garfield strip, along with 500+ more comments

The reason why the characters look so much different now and then is because Lincoln Peirce draws the comic by hand, not on the computer, and he can’t draw identically every single time, but a computer potentially could.
