Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for September 10, 2023

Either way, Nate will still have no fun

Big nate never fails to make me laugh.

Another decent, kind of throwback one! I like that the punchline isn’t “and then the opposite happened” like always, and rather that Marty had a good point until he remembered his own failure and let it get to him hypocritically. Having read lots of old strips recently, this very much feels like one, and the last panel illustrates the reveal and the implications of it well!

8\10, the joke is a 6 or 7 but the extra touches and attempt to not tell the obvious joke raise it to 8!

I don’t ever remember going to a school with a winning team. Nate and his dad have that in common.

It was funny

And where are all these friends you made ?

Marty, that doesn’t matter just watch your son play!

He sounds like Coco’s dad.

tennis gloves?

I still remember some of the friends I made playing chess as a kid.

It’s been years since we’ve talked. I wonder how they’re doing.

“If it doesn’t matter who wins, then why do they keep score.”

Lt. Worf =/\=

Are we having fun yet?

Ten panels (including Nate’s drawing) and it gets all the way to the last one before the other shoe drops…….is this a record?……

7/10, good cheering up Nate Marty!

It’s only a loss that you alone are responsible for. Get over it…..

Interesting comic.

This is, I believe, fatherhood in a nutshell. You tell your kids what they should hear, but not necessarily what will actually happen.

See, Nate is always like this. He ALWAYS underestimates his own team. This time, Nate was doubtful and his Dad didn’t care. by the time Martin was in the stands, they had switched places. 7/10. Pretty good.

Winning IS fun.

Dang.

Strip rating: 9/10 The depression factor at the end kinda makes it pretty funny. And that’s coming from someone who has dealt with depression for the last 3 years…

Nate should wear his blue sports shirt more often. It looks really nice.

Memories are so blurry…

Somebody remind Nate that Jefferson hadn’t lost in four years, and look what happened…

lol this ones pretty funny btw i think ima try to say only positive stuff about the strips because there is alot of negative reviewers.

Is there a sport that Nate doesn’t play or that Dad wasn’t bad at?

also kids want to win. my son plays socker for 12 yrs now, and explained to me as a teenager why the phrase “it is not important to win but to take part/play good in a team/…” just annoys.

Poor Marty

Tennis? That’s a new one.

Admin take down “Someone from the Internet” already? I had suspected that the Ibuki Lover was back again..!

That’s cheesy

Poor Marty. Another sad memory of his life.
