Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for June 03, 2023

This is exactly like the time Mr Rosa stopped them from playing their band music, and he said “I can do without the rimshot.”

I know this joke has been used before but sad trombone IS funnier than a rimshot!

8\10.

Arc rating: 45\60, joint best so far, more due to consistency rather than hilarity, but idk I just kinda liked the gags! Simple but decent!

Music in the hallway wasn’t a bad idea

The perfect soundtrack for this comic: https://www.gocomics.com/bignate/2005/11/18

Not a bad comic, not bad at all actually, tbh, I rate this one 8/10 not bad could be better

Should have played the trombone sting from Lost.

The zinger from loosing on The Price Is Right

This one was kinda mid tbh, and. The whole arc in general isn’t good. Big Nate just doesn’t have the same old laughs. I think I’ll stick to the old ones. 4 1/2/10

A mute would improve the sad sound feeling.

This joke was used before, but it was a rimshot instead of a sad trombone…

Strip rating: 8/10 Both jokes were pretty funny.

….makes me think of that smarmy trombone that cut loose during the most heart-wrenching part of a rendition of “The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot” that I heard a couple of times around Xmas…….

I think the principal missed a golden opportunity to encourage student participation and contribution into how the school operates…..

7/10 its ok better than previous

Unnecessary, yet appropriate

t’s good he can play something important on the trombone

LOL OK that was funny ngl

Now for the arc review

Pros: The jokes where very funny making for an enjoyable week

Cons: The first joke was worn out a little to much

Arc Rating: A tier pretty funny

If you ask me, the sad trombone is the theme song for school.

That’s the perfect music theme for the principal.

Comics you can hear:

Lowkey one of the funniest strips so far. A! The instrument gag got a bit boring because it was the same thing three times but I’m happy that we get a break from the Lab Duo.

This story arc was ok, I wished the Daphne & Nate arc continued

Isn’t it only 2 mwahs?

When I was in elementary, I started singing baby shark in the hallway. In maybe about 5 seconds everyone in the hall was singing along. Even some of the teachers…… I miss elementary lol.

i love this arc. 9.1/10

I thought perhaps Nate was using “trombone laughter.”

:(

Terrific week of strips, well done sir.

Tread carefully, Nate…
