Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for May 05, 2023

Craig has to get told off and get expelled

My prediction is that daphne will be on Nate’s side and defend him.

Plot Twist: Daphne likes neither of them

Remeber when randy and nate fought over ruby looked like this

Round and round they go, huh? Who’s gonna stick their hand in the middle and stop that raging whirlwind from spinning?!

Well, looks like I was right! Daphne cliffhanger where she sees the fight!

Don’t blame Nate for fighting back, but now I can just see Peirce stretching it out by having Nate try to explain he didn’t start it (tho with a little luck, that gets settled tomorrow and they can FINALLY go to do their project). Regardless, nice to see Daphne (first time since Saturday) and, I mean, she could easily have chosen to go with her friend instead, just to avoid Craig. But she really does seem to like Nate!

I also really like how the fight looks, it’s oddly effective and cool!

8/10, not funny, but excellent drama! Please that tomorrow’s rating is even better!

Come on Nate, teach that guy a lesson.

Why do I get the feeling that Daphne is gonna find both of them immature for fighting over her, and thus, reject both of them..

Also, this is probably the most interesting this strip has gotten in a long time.

oh boy, if Nate’s expelled, this might mark the end of Big Nate…

Nate already has detention today so this fight means nothing

I’m worried that Daphne might reject Nate

I was gonna say ‘Game over’ to continue with the baseball theme but this seems like it’s still the 1st inning.

Well there it is, she saw it- now the question is- Is she gonna stop it? Or is a teacher gonna stop it. And then what’s gonna happen after? Find out next time on Big Nate

A tier

Don’t worry, Nate won’t get expelled. Chester already has stuffed people in everywhere, sent people to the ER, and fractured people’s bones, and only went to detention.

Nate’s fine lol.

Happy National Cartoonists Day Lincoln Peirce!

Annie, shut up. Nate is 100% not expelled, its mostly Craig that is supposed to get expelled. If Nate is expelled, I am literally never going to never ever read Big Nate again XD.If I could rate the strip, I would wait until tmrw because it might be the same thing as Big Nate blasts off with Randy, like a teacher stopping them. Hopping for something different as in like, Craig or Nate gets injured.

I kinda saw this coming. It’s been a hot minute since we’ve seen a fight circle like this.

Strip rating: 10/10 I always loved seeing these kinds of fights in Big Nate, and this time is no different.

I PREDICTED IT! I SAID DAPHNE’S GONNA COMEM IN AND STOP THEM FROM FIGHTING AND TELL CRAIG THAT SHE DOESNT LIKE HIM!

Predictions for tomorrow’s strip (take your pick, let’s see who’s right!):

1. Daphne stops the fight and tells Craig she doesn’t like him (what I’m hoping for)

2. Daphne stops it but it’s a cliffhanger and next week is just her berating Craig perhaps

3. A teacher stops the fight

4. Daphne berates Craig and Nate, Peirce baits us

5. One of Nate and Craig get hurt or sent to detention

Btw Nate’s friends kinda just left lol they’re probably in the crowd somewhere but I mean like cmon- at least try and do something

Why do I feel like Principal Nichols will put Nate and Craig in peer counseling

Oh, Jear Deasus

fighting is never the answer, kids

Lmfaooooo

I swear, if this turns into a “Stop, I don’t like either of you!”, I don’t know what I’ll do.

Unfortunately, that’s very probable. Let’s hope Daphne will not avoid Nate because of this fight.

I like the way this is turning out!

…they both studied the Andy Capp ‘n Flo rumbles so’s they’d make this one picturesque enough for the T.V. news tonight…..

CINCO DE MAYO!!!!!!!!

when was the last time we saw two characters fighting like this?

stop the fight, Daphne!

Another beautiful exhibit. I call it “Fight!”

gasp

My prediction: Daphne is not gonna go out with either of them after seeing this.

I SWEAR to god, if Daphne breaks up with Nate over this, there WILL be a riot.

Daphne: Sorry, Annie. Nate and I are gonna work on our science project this afternoon | Annie: You mean the Nate that’s currently ripping Craig’s face off right behind you?

I don’t remember middle school fights looking like this. Usually it is just a tackle, and whoever is at the bottom gets beaten up severely

Fights happen at schools. Rarely is there an expulsion. Sometimes a suspension.This will blow over….

Today’s Cinco De Mayo! Where’s my fellow Mexicans?

oh nooooooooo no no no noooooooo

I kind of wish I actually knew what was happening in the fight, not just seeing them in a circle

The war has begun

jeez this has excellated 4/5 i wish it would speed up

!!!!! 10/10 (cant wait for tomorrow!)

Ouch.

Please don’t end this arc how I’m thinking it will end.

im asking for an lgbtq character who isn’t portrayed as different from usual but just happens to be like trans or smth it would be so nice please

Expelled for what? Getting attacked?

Great fight optic!

Remember the “Big Ball of Violence”? Well, this is the “Big Ring of Violence”…

By the way, I’m glad that the Big Nate comment section has greatly improved…

Today is my birthday!!!!

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! A+

Why do they have two heads

Who won?
