Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for November 11, 2022

This arc stinks out loud.

Worst day in gym class ever, isn’t it, Nate?

I really don’t get the humor with this week’s arc. They’re just shorts that look puffy, and the joke doesn’t evolve past that.

And besides, those shorts really don’t look that funny.

Sometimes, the way these jokes are in these new comics feels like they are written with the mindset that the readers of these comics will laugh at anything.

Injuries are better than puffy shorts? They must really hate Nate.

4.5/10 This was one of the better strips of this arc, because they at least deliver the stale punchline in a unique way. Also, Jonah looks cool.

life is cruel

If Jonah is excused from gym, how is he even available to be picked?

Wait why is Jonah even In the gym with a broken leg? Because Coach John OBVIOSLY doesn’t care.

Uh…okay…

Prove them, that even though your [Francis’] shorts are puffy, you can still play dodgeball!

These look like Brock Lesnar’s shorts

He’s perfect. Who is going to hit him with the ball?

Bigger pants = bigger target.

Really, kid, picking Jonah with a broken leg over Nate, who has no broken leg

…couldn’t Jonah and Nate just trade shorts for today’s rip-roaring action?……..

….somewhere out there, Jerry Seinfeld is having nightmares about that “Puffy Shirt” episode……..

“career”

Dude, he had no choice, at least he might do something.

Why is everyone suddenly treating Nate like dirt just because he’s wearing weird shorts? That makes no sense!

God yes!

There is no humour here at all. Please end this storyline.

That’s gotta hurt!

bro. istg. this trope doesnt need to be this long. we dont care about nates shorts peirce. also this is reused. 0/10

When life gives you lemons…

At least it’s not a Puffy Shirt.

Let’s goooo my name was in the comic!

Surprising that no one else says this, but happy Veteran’s Day, everyone (late).

I feel bad for Nate!

I half expect him to just take them off and play that way… before realizing what he did lol
