Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 08, 2023

Things got kinda interesting…

Well, that’s saying something

!! Maybe I was wrong! Are we finally going to see some progression?

6.5/10 Although this week was definitely dragged out. Hoping next will be better.

Why is Nate just hiding behind a wall lol

This is interesting. Although to be honest, I’m half expecting Nate to overreact when telling Francis and Teddy and ruin things

Okay, so Gina wanting to seem more likable went nowhere and was left hanging in the end, and now this arc went from Nate having a new lab partner and probably now gonna be about him wanting to get with Daphne.

This arc was so remarkably unfocused.

Rizzler

The people who were crabbing yesterday about how predictable this strip has become, I wonder how many of them predicted this.

Nate somehow doesn’t like the sound of this.

I like where this is going… but I’m still a bit disappointed Gina’s “why don’t people like me” arc was just thrown in the bin to make way for this

Wow it got interesting

i hope we see more of daphine

I never thought someone would say those words from Nate

This means either Gina is even more universally hated than expected or this arc could go in an entirely new direction with Nate and Daphne.

Oh ho ho ho! That means something! This is gonna be like that thing with Daisy. Or maybe it won’t.

wha??

What’s worse the fact Nate heard that or the fact Nate was spying on them?

cool

Up until now, no girl at P.S. 38 has ever said anything pleasant about Nate

To Be Continued…

Ooh, twist!

WHAT??? One strip of Nate not sucking, and suddenly they make a good team. I don’t believe it.

W o w z a

This looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Also, Gina is actually friend with Daphne and care about her? I kinda thought Gina had no friends at all!

I feel like Chad can get anyone as his partner

oh god no its ruby all over again

What world is she living in?

FOUR WEEKS??? Holy cow.

Strip rating: 8/10 I wonder why she says that. Things are starting to get interesting…

Best comic of the arc!

Wal now, how do ya like the way this is tooling along?……….

What is this?!

Told ya I liked where this is going…and it just got WAY better!!

I lowkey like where this is going, if I think this is going where I think it’s going. It’s a really nice twist from Peirce and I didn’t expect that, honestly though Nate and Daphne, I believe can have good chemistry because they have contracting qualities that could don’t make it like too, you know difficult for them to interact and possibly have a relationship with each other. I don’t know, let’s see

CALLED IT!

!!!

Is it just me or is the reason of switching partners always changing everyday

I love this arc. It is a nice long story with multiple story lines within it

Oh no! Nate just got encouragement!

new romance???

If this is going to continue, I’m praying it’s good. This has potential.

Hoping the next week we get to see some interaction between Gina and Chad!

The only mystery now is how is Nate going to blow this, and just how badly?

If Nate gets a new girlfriend that would be great.

Did Daphne’s earings change within panels?

Don´t blow it Nate!

I’m hearing wedding bells! ( XD )

WOAH!

To be fair, a decent cliffhanger, especially since Pierce actually followed up on it!

Plus, someone not just hating on Nate? Is this an alternate universe? Could we finally get something fresh and new? We await the answers still!

6/10, not funny but I like the cliffhanger, strong 6, almost a 7. Plus, nice Gina for once!

Tho I must add that like other readers, I am a tad annoyed that we just… Never got to see Gina and Chad’s side of this arc? I mean, maybe it’s shown another time, maybe it’s not important, but it’s a little weird. Still, we got something better out of it, so why complain?

Overall week rating: 42/60, even better than week 2!

he he he he he he

I think I know where this is going

So yeah, i know that its official. Although…

Intense romance?! Now we’re talking! A+.
