Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for March 25, 2023

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHABro got executed!!!On another topic, how does Nate even know the word Fink?

This arc has ended where we started.

Shouldn’t Mrs. Godfrey write the Detention slip

Gina is a common L

Quoted from Dictionary.com: “Fink is an insulting name that commonly refers to someone who informs the police or other authorities when others break the law or the rules—an informant or snitch. It can also be used as a verb in the same way that snitch can.”

Gina has just done what the insult means! I don’t know whether or not Nate really deserves that detention. He was trying to help her after all.

How is Gina like the king of Id by being a fink?

Best part is when Mrs. Godfrey said “it’s godfring time” and Godfried all over Nate

Arrogance. Haughty. Superiority complex. Thinks she’s all that and a bag of vegan pork, also. Gina’s Aquarius, isn’t she?!

This story arc went nowhere because of Nate.

So, where has Dee Dee gone? I was hoping for an honest discussion between the two girls which might have led somewhere interesting – Dee Dee attempting to give Gina a personality makeover, and a “new Gina” emerging and facing challenges amongst her peers. But this is just the same old, same old.

That seems a bit excessive

that’s watcha get for helping when it was not needed Nate…

OMG, FINK! Havn’t heard that in years.

Bruh. You don’t have to send someone to detention because they insulted you. Tell them to apologize!

Strip rating: 2/10 This arc has just ended up being a complete flop.

Whatever happened to “Snitches get stitches”?

Case in point. Gina reminds me of a former student. She argued with me over a 3 point deduction on a test. In lecture I’d emphasized a key point in the process that she left out. She just had to have a perfect score and fussed for several weeks after, always asking if something was going to be on the test.

You just proved his point, Gina.

Oooooh Nate used the F word

Point Proven, Nate

….looked it up in his Funk & Wagnall’s…….opportunities like this, he makes sure he comes to school prepared for…….

Thank you for proving my point Mrs Godfrey. You may go…..

Another arc wasted… Can’t say I’m surprised. No character development from Gina whatsoever

Unwilling to hear Nate out, no hesitation, just sending him away on the spot. Mrs. Godfrey is a terrible teacher.

They call the king in Wizard of Id a fink all the time.

Narc!

I’m not often on Nate’s side on matters, but Mrs. Godfrey really needs to go soak her head on this one.

It’s so basic that it’s funny.

Look at this dude

An average suck up would make a person the least favorite, like Gina.

Not knowing what “fink” means, this comic feels like Nate really is just insulting Gina

Nate should have paused and told Gina, in front of Mrs Godfrey, that Gina just proved him right.

Gina has a promising future as a liberal. Lots of knowledge but unwilling to accept reality while whining about everything she doesn’t like and expecting others to solve those issues.

Never been a fan of hypocritical humor, nor of Nate getting intro trouble when he doesn’t deserve it. Everything he said was true (even if he was laying it on a little thick). This is another fixture of the post-modern era I’m not a fan of. Pierce seems to have forgotten that for the punchline of “Nate getting into trouble” to work, he needs to… Do something to deserve it? Godfrey is mean but not to the extent of sending Nate to detention just like that.

2/10, a perfect example of a weak Big Nate strip. All this buildup for “Nate going to detention”, and if I didn’t know that there would be more to this arc, I would call it one of the worst.
