Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for March 11, 2023

i would riot if i got a blue ribbon as the king

Finally, Nate wins back

Indeed they can, but that can also give this arc an anti-climatic ending.

Lamest. Ending. Ever.

Nate, the king of prideful delusion.

If the principal endorses kids getting detention on purpouse, then they need a new principal.

3.5/10 The ending was kind of dissapointing, which is a shame because things were getting good.

in the end, Nate comes out with the W

Smart!

Well played, Mr. Director, well played!

Mr Detention Indeed!!

Well played from principal Nichols.

at least he won’t be doing it on purpose anymore… :]

That’s one way to keep a student from getting expelled.

Pffft. Well, that was very disappointing.

Strip rating: 1/10 I can’t believe I gave those other comics such high ratings only to have a complete train-wreck of an ending. Peirce didn’t want to have a three week arc, so he just gave this arc an abrupt ending to it.

You are the king Nate! Great job!

I thought he became the king in the Big Nate book “In a Class by Himself”…

Well played indeed…..

Played like a cheap violin…

this is so smart, very played principal

This is one of my favorite arcs ever honestly. This ending is a really clever way to end it.

Whats next?

Blake’s a bully. Nate isn’t. He’s a free spirit who gets into trouble because of it. The Principal put Blake on notice and gave Nate a point that he no longer has to prove. A brilliant move on the Principal’s part.

He duped the Tool!

W Principal Nicholas

It would have been funnier if he had been expelled.

fifth panel:

Mrs.Shipulzky: Maybe you shouldn’t have given it to someone with such a big ego.Mr.Nichols: sighNate (over P.A.) this is Nate Wright with an important announcement…
