Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for July 30, 2022

“There must always be a jumble.”

Wordle is the new Jumble….

Jumble looks fun to play

Ok, yesterday’s comic should’ve been the ending.

If all the newspapers die, would Big Nate continue but only on GoComics? I would hope so… Though realistically speaking, the comic might actually die as well, and the show would end up being the main focus, which is OK as long as the show improves and hopefully becomes more widely appealing.

Newspapers have existed for over 200 years, and they have had many challenges to deal with, like radio and television. Newspapers will never truly die, but they will be in less demand. And it’s not their fault you couldn’t listen to their criticism properly.

2.5/10 Terrible arc, because Nate has his standards way too high. If this was a school newspaper office, it would be understandable.

Stephan Pastis who does Pearls Before Swine has said many times that newspapers hates when he makes comments about newspapers dying.

I wouldn’t be surprised in Jeff Knurek reads this.

….cannot one play JUMBLE on-line?……….don’t get me wrong….I LIKE “the printed page”, and y’know….those BOOK things…..

There’s an app for that

Q

Its way too late to ask this, but if Nate’s comics are good amd acceptable CAN he publish it in this world’s newspaper? He’s only 11, will the publisher accept it?

Yes, Grampa. Jumble.Script Rating: 9/10

I do too.

No Sudoku…that’s one of the more frightening realities of life.

Maybe, but it won’t be the same on an I-pad

Well, we ARE reading the comics online… and my newspaper subscription is digital.

The Chicago Tribune provides the daily Jumble for free at their website, if anyone didn’t know and likes to do them. I don’t know what would happen to them if the Chicago Tribune goes under, though.

I used to love doing the Jumble in the NY Daily News. I don’t have one where I live now.

I buy a newspaper for the local news, national news, sports and comics. Gocomics has most of the comics I’ve liked in the local papers and then some. A lot of the sports I can get on ESPN and Yahoo but they don’t compare to what I get at the Chronicle. I can get all the national and international news online, but only the local paper covers the local news. So, I’ll continue subscribing to the SF paper as long as it remains within my budget.

I love the Jumble. I do it every day (online, though). :-D

I don’t get why he likes the JUMBLE so much! Of all things!

i have never seen a jumble in the news paper

I can live with the Jumble, just for heaven’s sake get rid of the stupid horoscopes and the bridge column. Does anybody even play bridge anymore?

A friend of mine has a cat named Jumble—and another named Pounder. Fun names.

What’s a jumble? Is it like a puzzle?

Hear hear. I count on Jumble every day.

I like the jumble too!

Yeah, he seems to like the jumble.

Duh.

Haha

He likes the Jumble.

I never play Jumble. It sounds a little boring. B+
