Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for October 06, 2022

Miranda is a sicko

Prediction: Miranda’s teaching is useless, but Nate confronts Chester anyway and gets shoved into a locker.

I probably don’t wanna know what Miranda would imagine being the popsicle itself

I would rather this be a two week arc than a rushed ending.

5.5/10

How many more strips of Miranda saying things but not elaborating?

Maybe because the master was a kind, calm old man. I feel like Miranda made these lessons as a way to justify beating him up.

3/10 This arc so far has been slow. Nate has not learnt anything actually useful.

My uncle is peering over my shoulder as I am writing this.

Script rating: 5.5/10

OH GOD NATE DO A BARREL ROLL

That’s not how it works, because I like to imagine myself as a pro football player.

In panel 1, Nate’s legs & Teddy’s back has the background red

Wax on, wax off

wait what’s a femur an what’s with all the spams these days

This arc is not as great as I had imagined. So far nothing really important has happened and it probably won’t until Saturday. 4/10 Slow arc

No martial arts teacher would ever tell you to imagine that – they’d tell you to clear all the negative energy out of your head before teaching you anything.

……..Miranda say: "Show me: “Sand the floor”………"

Wonder if the maroon/magenta stuff around Nate and Teddy in the first panel is the fighting spirit? Also, Nate, she’s in first grade. You could probably throw her as far as you can and run, if need be.

Beats “Wax on, wax off”…..

Miranda takes a more “strike hard, strike first, no mercy” approach

You need to attack her with a piece of fresh fruit.

Does anybody remember the Big Nate novels? I think they should come back.

I’m “board” so how ’bout a poll? Who is better? Chad or Dee Dee?

Well, Miranda’s only a white belt (according to the illustrations) so they won’t learn much from her except on how to make empty threats.

Breaking your femur can be one of the most painful bone breaks

chester? the guy who look like the java man from nate’s science textbook?

Even I’m frightened

I take tae quon doe for five years now, I admit that a lot of people think it’s like anime, and mind body concentration and stuff like that, but it’s just kicks and punches, i could care less about what people think though.
