Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for February 13, 2020

I do not see things ending well for you Nate

The poem was good, but this is just weird

SCORE!!!

I hope Nate gets beat up. Mallory is way too broken for new romantic partners, especially ones of similar nature to Nate himself.

Nate, give her at least a minute.

I really hope Nate gets it at the end of this arc… This may be one of the rare arcs that I hope things don’t end well for him.

Well, he was right about Mallory planning on breaking up with Connor. But that’s probably the only aspect of this he’s right about.

Valentine’s Day’s tomorrow

This rarely works. Usually, it’s a bad idea.

Breakups are tough and painful, and it can take a person awhile for them to wanna start another relationship. But for Nate, he thinks it’s all about first come, first served.

When is he gonna give the valentine

Oh, look. One of those rare times where Nate gets the short end of the stick after actually doing some to deserve it besides existing.

Welp.

The backgrounds in panels 1,2 & 3 look really off

ok seriously these things just pop out of nowhere

Normally when a girl breaks up with you it is because she has already found your replacement.

Anyone else: Hey, I heard what happened, I’m really sorry about that. Maybe I could take you out somewhere so you can feel better?

Nate: Hey baby, forget that loser and go out with me instead!

You have to wait a few hours Nate

Watch her go back to Connor.

Nate has 0 sense of timing

wow. just wow.

You mean bad timing! Sorry Nate.

“Aloha”? Oy!

(Yes, I know Hawaiians don’t spell it that way.)

Too soon?

sonic movie’s tomorrow!

Catching them on the rebound doesn’t last. Tried it a few times…

Question: Whatever happened to Shiela?

My prediction is that tomorrow Nate’s gonna get beat up by Mallory for being insensitive and either Francis or Teddy is gonna make a joke about it, and Saturday is gonna be Nate wondering why his plan didn’t work, Teddy or Francis (most likely Francis) telling me how wrong it was of him to do that, and Nate basically avoiding the whole lesson and Teddy/Francis getting annoyed by it. I’m probably wrong, and I hope this’ll become a arc for Nate to be better at relationships, since Nate back in 1998 had the heart to help his ex-girlfriend reconcile with her new boyfriend at a dance he could be hanging out with Jenny at, and now in 2020 he does this. I know it’s part of Nate’s character to do this, but I just wish he’d have character development after all these years.

What. If. She. Becomes. Nate’s. New. Girlfriend!

Sure, I’m not getting my hopes up, but what if?

Uh Oh, somethings gonna happen

The timing of the breakup is so perfect (because of valentine’s day tomorrow), that she’s probably gonna date nate

Just look at this timing.

Oh la la!!! Maybe Mallory isn’t as smart as all the other girls and actually go out with him. I’d love to see another girlfriend.

this reminds me of those jenny strips where jenny is sad and nate stepson and is all weird

it looks like they are standing in a blank room! I think they are in school, I don’t think schools have blank rooms.

Nate, you monster! Have some sympathy for once!

Terrible timing, Nate.
