Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 15, 2023

Why. Why? WHY!!!

Really Nate? You could have asked anything else but you chose that?

You really are, Nate

im ready for another girlfriend arc. Also, somewhere in march 2020, i just realized that daphne is a scooby doo character, and daphne looks alike to the character to

B R u h, Nate cmoooooon man just ask her, not asking her is worse than her saying no cause you already know she still likes you as like- a friend

B tier strip

Oy.

A weak punchline that in honesty, made no sense. She could’ve said something like, “I hate the Kardashians” or something to make it funnier.

Guess we’ll just have to wait until next week. That is, if he doesn’t continue being a “coward”.

Come on nate try harder than that

Nate losing his ability to talk correctly probably made him look uncool in front of Daphne. 6/10

though out of the blue, that was cowardly

we’ve all been there, Nate.

Welp, today’s my birthday. This strip is definitely not the best, but I’m not going to let Meme Dee Dee and Flowey mess this strip up.

Me neither, I’m proud to say.

March 17th, 2019. Panel 3

yup this went exactly how i expected

Now we gotta wait till Monday

Okay, there’s still a place for this to go. This storyline isn’t doomed yet…

whats a kardashian

never kept up with the Kardashians myself, Daphne (yes, Nate, you are a coward)

When it comes to girls at that age, it can be very rough for guys getting into the mating ritual routine, especially at school dances. A single guy approaching a gaggle of girls across the auditorium required bravery above and beyond the call of duty, even more so when the girl you asked to dance said no. The longest mile was that 50 ft or so you walked away back to your personal safety position after that rejection. I understand Nate’s dilemma at this moment. This too shall pass however……

This kinda sucks. Peirce is drawing out this arc way longer than it needs to be.

Strip rating: 2/10 I didn’t even know what a Kardashian was until I read this.

How come Nate’s confidence talking to girls he likes is gone now.

What’s a Kardashian? Why would one want a favorite one? Who cares?

so true…pierce, get w/ the times

her reaction tho…..

Guess Jenny will spill the beans instead.

Ralph Wiggums to Lisa Simpson, “So, you like.. stuff?”

Ralph Wiggum to Lisa Simpson, “So, you like.. stuff?” ;p

Bro literally could have said anything else but said “Who is your favorite Kardashian?”Result: Problem

Those are the girls that grow up to be beauties.

Shy Nate is adorable. I can identify, pal.

Hey! Peirce is finally taking the strip somewhere!

I don’t have one, either, Daphne! Small world, ain’t it?…….

Gets rejected

That was a stupid question. But at least he had another proof that Daphne is a very intelligent girl.

Kardashian? Nate, this is bad.

Yeah, so this is what I meant about bad pop culture refs. Kinda cringe, Pierce.

I don’t mind Nate chickening out, or the extension of the arc, it’s realistic, but if the joke doesn’t land, it doesn’t.

2/10, shy Nate is the one saving grace.

Overall week rating: 36/60. Solid enough to get past the average, but a definite step down seeing as a lot of it was without jokes, and not the biggest bangers either. Week 4 is okay, I guess. Onto week 5!

nothing to say but “L nate”

If Dee had heard this all along, she’d say, “Guys! Nate has a crush on Daphne!” C-
