Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for November 10, 2021

First comment

Omg Nate that’s a bad thing

I cant express to you how much i would love that name for my team.

Nate’s tongue is miscolored in the last panel

Bad move coach

The university is UC Santa Cruz, by the way.

Also, a slug would just be symbolic of the team. And what is so good about a slug?

8/10 What will he do?

are the comics now late?also last panel he has a blue tongue

Banana slugs are disgusting

The banana slugs.. Almost a perfect name for a Minions basketball team!

Banana slug?

Jeez, Nate. Dumb name. 3.10/10 for this strip.

All right then

Banana Slugs all the way!

Don’t give him ideas.

oh no……………..

I looked it up. He’s talking about UC Santa Cruz college in Cal.

I don’t think it would be a good idea for Nate to have a banana slug as P.S. 38’s mascot for two reasons.

1. UC Santa Cruz would probably sue them for stealing their mascot

2. P.S. 38 would become a laughingstock for having such a weak and crappy mascot

PS38 “Banana slugs.” Clearly he’s not thinking of what Jefferson and/or bullies can do with thank name.

What does Coach have against banana slugs?

Welcome back to my special Commenters Edition of Big Nate Who Said It?! Here’s today’s quote: “ Nate never talked about his cousin before”

This one actually made me laugh XD

Im picturing a slimy bannana with the antenna thingys slugs have. Thats probably right.

Since when did Nate like slugs?

That moment coach wishes he could take it back :0, ha

excuse me what the hell

6.5/10 for… just… why

My mom’s high school mascot was the bees

Scottsdale Community College’s mascot is the artichoke. :)

??

Banana slug????

Why do people always type FRST in the comment. I mean sure their the first to comment but what’s the point? It’s not like theirs an achievement for it.

Sadly, most people are afraid of slugs.

Big mistake.

which college?

that’s not a lie

Oh, bananas…

If you look closely in the last panel, Nate’s tongue is light green

Banana slug is the Washington State Bird.

‘The Sluggers’..

Creeper

So a yellow slug as a mascot? Cool

this was a bad comic which was not very funny at all ngl very repetetive

I seem to remember the students of a university in Northern Arizona choosing the artichoke, sometime back in the 1970s. They also chose a weird school color, like pink or puce. The administration refused to let their choice stand. I wish I could find a report on the Web, but so far no luck.

Then there’s the college in my state that’s the Geoducks. That’s pronounced “gooey-ducks” and it’s a type of clam that’s so big it pours out of its shell.

wait what

That is a great idea from Coach. I’d want to have a banana slug as my team mascot! Who wouldn’t?

I… can’t even comprehend Nate right now.

California. Need we say more…..

Second commenta

At least you’re team name isn’t a color, like the Syracuse Orange.

Why not just have a simple wolf or eagle or something

The school mascot at my old elementary school was a STAR. it was so lame. A fricking star with creepy eyes and blue limbs

My mascot in the district is a Eagle.

In elementary school the mascot was a jetplane and they changed it to a eagle in every school in the district.

Statement: Better than the Gizaks.

o noes

I think i’d prefer a frog :3

My high school had the most fearsome mascot known to man… the Crimson Tide. All you can do is throw chocolate at it, run, and pray.

We are slugs! most beautiful UC campus ,deer and wild turkeys wander the campus. and I think the slug was a local creature , and chosen as mascot. cute logo too

bad move, coach

Ok so i rate this strip 6/10 because in the seiries nate talks to coach about this and it never works exeot for baseball, when for a whike they were the Vultures since there was no sponsor for the team that year.I think it will go on forever much like the previous arc, but more enjoyable for me.I dont like when the whole arc is just a convorsations that has already happend previously. It never goes anywhere.This strip has potential though. Only time will tell where this goes….(Omnious music intesifies)

lol

Typical boy.

That’s UC Santa Cruz.

That’s a good mascot!

As long as he’s able to have a mascot that isn’t a type of cat, figure skates/skating, and egg salad, he’s going to have it.

banana slugs actually almost look like bananas. google it

hello, this is the alt account of thisismydumbafcatasmyprofilepic , i think i got banned

The University of California, Santa Cruz (UC Santa Cruz or UCSC) is a public land-grant research university in Santa Cruz, California. Named a Public Ivy, it is one of ten University of California campuses. Located on Monterey Bay, on the edge of the coastal community of Santa Cruz, the campus lies on 2,001 acres (810 ha) of rolling, forested hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Founded in 1965, UC Santa Cruz began with the intention to showcase progressive, cross-disciplinary undergraduate education, innovative teaching methods and contemporary architecture. The residential college system consists of ten small colleges that were established as a variation of the Oxbridge collegiate university system.

UC Santa Cruz is classified among “R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity”. It is a member of the Association of American Universities, the most prestigious alliance of research universities in the United States and Canada.

It is a very fine school.

As immortalized in Pulp Fiction.

Never ask a question you don’t know the answer to, coach.
