Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 05, 2022

So much for a good name for once.

what kind of name does a company that waterproofs basements give to a little league baseball team?

anyway, i’ll just see how it goes

7/10

a cesspool cleaner would have been more funny.

When I played soccer, the whole league was sponsored by Wendy’s or something. We just got to pick our team names. It didn’t matter because no other teams called each other by their team names

my computer is glitching wildly while I’m typing this,

also, WATERPROOF BASEMENTS?

Wonder what the names gonna be so nice. Moo!

The only Chad arc I’ve found even remotely interesting is the one where Nate and Teddy hypnotize him into becoming verbally abusive. Everywhere else he’s just so damn annoying. Like Rowley from DOAWK, but way worse.

cant wait to see the new horrible name(most likely)

7.5/10

What’s next, car insurance? This feels like a sponsor for the community baseball team, not little league (I don’t know what little league is, I’m Australian)!

6.17/10 The arc will just be Nate complaining, unless he fights back, then it would be cool. But this strip is kind of funny. I wouldn’t believe it too!

what horrible team name will they get now?the leaks?

Maybe they’ll be called the drips

the hydro profers!

Out of all the sponsors why a water basement thing like bro

5/10

here’s a name: underground swimmers

The Water Pumps! The basement savers! The Waterproofers! The water protecters! The flex tape!

Not very promising

I feel like peirce is not building up the suspense, but is out of ideas for this arc.

6/10, though i still am interested in this arc

what time is it for everyone

Sounds interesting

8/10

I bet the team will definitely be named Sump Pumps

When I was a kid, one of my remote aunts died and left mom some money. She bought a TV/radio/phonograph combination and Dad got the basement water-proofed.

They are not going to have a good name. It is inevitable.

Poll: am i so cool?

“Kill somebody”?

The Malodorous Mildews.

sump pumps? is the sponsor actually serious? plus what time is it in your place plus add time period plz (like pst, cst, mst, est, etz)

I’m with Chad: The best you can ever say is that your basement isn’t leaking right now.

Woah Woah! Calm down there Nate!

That escalated rather quickly.

" Im gonna kill somebody " – Nate Wright

Only comic I read where the comment sections are just as (and sometimes more) entertaining than the actual comics.

BAM – is a local company (Basements and Masons)

Who allows these random stores to name this Little League team?

It should be the “Water Rules!” lol i don’t see what is wrong with sump pumps.

It’s real Chad, but not cheap, and not always effective.

This will not end well…

they are going to be sunk…

It’s only going to take one more strip for me to quit Big Nate… and we all know what’s going to happen tomorrow…

Why is like nobody talking on gc much today?

Suspense Lol

hehe this one made me chuckle

9/10

I wonder what the name of the company is. And if Nate kills somebody, there’s a good chance it’ll be somebody who works for that company.

how long untill peirce just goes to reruns?

waterproof basements…oh yeah!

Bruh

Has anybody noticed that Dee Dee’s last name (Holloway) is a combo of Hollywood and Broadway?

I don’t feel too good about this… I mean, what kind of mascot is the team gonna get off some company who waterproofs people’s basements?

This is the third time there has been a “bad baseball team name” arc. If there is variation within the story, im ok with that. but with the decline of quality in the strips im doubting it. expecting pierce to deliver every day for how long is it now? 25 years? is idiotic but i cant help but be disappointed. Here’s to hoping lincoln will get a creative spark.

It would be cool if they got a good name for once.

The name is going to be even stupider than I can possibly imagine and I can’t wait for the reveal!

The Little Lulus only lasted for 2 years! I wonder how long this sponsor will last for!

Little league arc! The name problem is slightly overused, but this might be interesting? Who knows? This comic a 6/10 and overall arc 13/20. Have a cheez doodly day!

no maidens?
