Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for January 13, 2023

This should be fun

how you wish, Dee Dee, somone’s fortune was your own fortune

Dee, having a friend in the industry is one of the only ways you can actually get in.

It’s just eating food, I don’t know how you screw up at that?

3/10 Dee Dee’s been jealous before, and it was also boring and annoying too.

Once again, Dee Dee is a terrible friend

I wonder how this commercial shoot will go.

Wait… so chad DOES have parents? I thought it was just the tv guy not knowing and chad not making it complicated, have they ever been mentioned before?

Chad is a nice guy, maybe in the end, he’ll either give the job to dee dee, or talk to one of the people and use his “lethal cuteness to let dee dee do something! I would like that, and it would definitely be chads style

“Happy” Friday the 13th

Cheeze-Whizz, it’s like Nate’s mind is stuck inside of her head…….

Yes, please stink at it. I feel bad for Dee Dee.

Strip rating: 2/10 The arc is going to continue next week.

Aww. Don’t think that. Wish him well….

I’m guessing Chad will make the role in the commercial and Dee Dee will rage (a lot) and say really mean things to the director and Chad.

Ah, so the strip is longer than a week. That’s a relief :)

Punchline: 6/10

Character Variety: 7/10

Arc Concept: 7/10

6.7/10

I like this strip, it has a lot of potential and could go way farther than just chad acting in a commercial 8/10

maybe if dee dee wasnt so atached to it she would get picked

DEE DEE’S TOTALLY-NOT-PREDICTABLE EXPECTIONS:

It is the day of filming the oatmeal commercial. Chad sprints onto the stage, excited to be shown in his very first commercial out of potentially hundreds!

Director: ’Aight kiddo, you ready?

Chad: Yes! I’m always ready!

Director: Okay… lights, camera, ACTION!

Filming begins. Chad is holding an oatmeal bowl on one hand and a spoon on the other.

Chad: “Do you like Sunshine Oatmeal? I sure do! It’s heavenly divine!”

Chad scoops a spoonful of the oatmeal and eats it.

Chad: “Yummy yummy, in my tu- oh… I don’t feel so good…”

Chad drops down on the floor. Turns out, he had a secret allergic reaction to oatmeal!

Cameraman: CHAD! CHAD! Director, he’s unconscious!

Director: Oh no! We need a replacement! Who will replace him?

Dee Dee: Ahem… are you talking about me?

The director turns around to see Dee Dee. She’s wearing a Sunshine Oatmeal shirt. The director’s eyes widen.

Director: You… YOU’RE A PERFECT FIT! YOU’RE GOING TO BE A STAR, YOUNG LADY!

totally not predictable at all

Chad is a natural!

We get it, Dee Dee’s jealous. Why can’t the arc move faster?
