Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 26, 2022

Nate will rather have the flu than dealing with Kim Cressly

Hot take, but Lincoln should just axe Kim from the strip entirely. She brings pretty much nothing new, in terms of bullying (Chester already does that well enough), rudeness to Nate (Jenny already does that well enough), or anything else. She’s horribly unlikeable and just exists to bring Nate a type of pain that he actually doesn’t deserve. I would much rather her just be axed than continuous arcs involving her.

Your pain is only beginning.

Monopoly’s a flawed game. Whether it’s fun or not is up to each person to decide, though I enjoy it, but it’s flawed.

Once you reach a stage of the game where one person’s victory becomes pretty much inevitable, it still takes a while to completely defeat the other players.

The players don’t lose all at the same time, so one player has to find something else to do while up to seven others continue.

Kim will probably throw all the money on Nate and say, “Take it off!” That would be pretty funny.

3/10 Whoopee, another “Nate gets harrased” arc.

He could just play monopoly with Chad, or Arthur, or Dee Dee.

…. why is Kim still in this strip?

I start my first job today! Wish me luck!

it’s if Kim has ESP rn

And you will feel mine if you don’t let me in…..

So, I guess Kim will require kisses for Nate to access the Monopoly bank.

Do they really have the flu or did they agree to say that to get out of the Monopoly game?

You landed on my hotel? You get a hug.

Welcome to Hell, Nate. Population, you.

They could play monopoly online…

Just close (and lock) the door.

And it will get worse!

Too bad he can’t bring back his girlfriend Angie from the older strips currently running in Big Nate: First Class. Something tells me she’d be able to handle this.

Nope not reading this storyline goodbye

Just play it virtually

Pucker up, game boy. :-D

I wish there would be less fat-shaming in this comic.

i know people complain about kim but atleast hes trying to put a spin on things instead of doing the same thing every year

Oh my fricking god. Finally a monopoly game

HOORAY!!!

Oh no, not this gargoyle. She’s a terrible bully who is a borderline sexual abuser
