Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 10, 2023

I see where this is going

Okay, well, I’m glad Nate has a friend, but I really hope this won’t get dragged out for another three weeks. Peirce does have a tendency to drag arcs out.

Oh, Nate is liking Daphne’s praises about him, huh?

bro i thought she liked him

Now he’s going to prove her wrong.

Is Nate just following them lmao

Everybody’s smart in some way. It’s all about taking your studies seriously to prove your potential

That “oh HO!” frame is gold xD

I wonder how long this will actually be.

A budding Buddy Romance!?

Daphne that don’t make no sense! 6/10.

I see this as an absolute win?

Is this arc coming to be the Daisy arc?

I am so confused, is Nate still spying on them.

Nah, he is an idiot

I mean Nate is smart he just chooses to not try in school so he gets bad grades (or at least that’s what he says).

Y’know, I think about Nate the same way. He’s not an idiot, he just acts like one.

Strip rating: 7/10 This is getting more interesting now. I wonder how this will last for 5 more days.

Nate has had his moments. They are few and far between, but they exist.

Whenever I think of Daphne I think of Scooby-Doo. I’m sorry if your name is Daphne. There aren’t any exceptions to my little rule.

Finally, someone gets it! It’s kind of like Rodrick’s rule, lower everyone’s expectations real low, and suprise people for doing basic stuff.

6/10 I feel seen right now.

That must be why he sometimes wears his "I am a genius’ t-shirt.

That school is PACKED with spying walls, apparently.

Nate has been fingered

Something tells me he’s going to acts even more like an idiot soon, especially around Daphne. Who knows? Maybe she could like it.

Bruh big nate is a idiot

Girls that might like you seem to get prettier every day….

At first this arc was boring af but it could lead to something original like Nate and daphne liking each other. She could help raise his grades and turn him into not such an idiot.

STOP RATING AND JUST ENJOY. AT LEAST RATE THEM IN YOUR HEAD.

Daphne could become a regular in the strip. She seems to have at least some kind of good connection now.

This arc seems to kinda be going somewhere. I guess that’s good?? Kinda wish we got to see Chad and Gina though

the only reason these arcs feel like they’re being dragged on is because these only come out once a day yknow. if we were reading these arcs in big nate compilations right now then we wouldn’t be saying they are dragged out

Okay that oh ho got me. I also like this already: Daphne likes nate…but unlike his previous love interests is fully aware of his faults.

Nate needs a friend that’s a girl besides Dee Dee. Who agrees with me?

I think these strips have gotten better, introducing a new character to the strip (obviously a temporary one). Keep it up Pierce, about the time he got outta his writing slump.8/10It’s still missing some more creativity, but still good.

W Rizz

This was when people really began to suspect that something was going on, though I believe it was the next strip when the ship vibe began!

As for the strip, it’s not FUNNY, BUT. It’s decent story progression, and honestly, seeing someone after 32 years finally say what we all know, that Nate isn’t an idiot, he could just apply himself more… It explains Nate’s feelings for her, and gives us something fresh for once!

6/10, solid, important for the story.

Noice.

Does Daphne even like Nate? Stay tuned to find out! A+.
