Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 29, 2023

Nate why did you rven-

How will this arc conclude

Didn’t this happen to Spitsy multiple times before??? And Francis does have a point, Nate. 7/10

And now he’s doing a Spitsy thing, cool.

Francis, you’re a bad friend.

0\10 so done with him, can Daphne come over tomorrow and prove him wrong

Nate, you’re not Spitsy

What? How would Nate even do this on accident

“I triple-dog dare ya!”

Ouch! I don’t think I’ve seen Nate make that face before! Lol

This is such a Nate thing to do- except Im surprised he didn’t do this in front of Daphne in order to “impress” her with his…courage? Strength? Are either of those the words? XD

Francis is saying this when his girlfriend literally disappeared off the face of the earth

Lol

I know Spitsy has had his tongue frozen to a sign pole before, but Nate?! And if it was an accident, then how?!?

Wow Nate…wow

Maybe Daphne can break him of his stupidity? Nah, never happen.

How does Daphne love his stupidity?

Not that a tounge on a pole is evidence of that. Stupid boys can also get married.

So – Francis WON’T be available to be Best Man (And Nate will recite a very babbled “I Do!”!!

Francis recovered nicely from the snowball blast!

i grew up in RI, and i have never seen anyone try that outside of comics

That’s a nice reference!

don’t try to read about Nate and Daphne after reading 9CL. :-)

…..MEANWHILE…… I wonder if the New Year’s Eve Monopoly game’s on? AND will Daphne attend"

Flick? Has anyone seen Flick?

getting married someday requires the ability to age out of grade school

No, it’s not. And are we not gonna talk about how Francis is the one who’s the most sure that the relationship between the two of them will cease? I mean, I think the same way, too, I don’t think their relationship will last forever, but Francis thought of this from the start. He thought that they wouldn’t last for very long… but here we are, 8 months later…

Strip rating: 5/10 And Daphne says that Nate only “acts” like an idiot…

Let’s be honest, he’s not wrong XD

Nate pulled a Spitsy

(sighs)

“Holy cow, it’s the fire department!’

Do kids even do this anymore?

Nate… How?

The same old story, Boy Meets Girl, falls in love, tongues a frozen metal poleI, and she never hears from him again.

-10/10, extra lame and inaccurate on Francis’s part. Nate and Daphne are 500% gonna get married one day!

Stuck? STUCK?

You know, a Daphne storyline is only good if it… you know… has Daphne in it?

I agree, he’s being a non-encouraging friend. Maybe he is jealous of Nate now that he’s found someone.

At this point, I don’t really see how this relationship could fail. I’m convinced Francis is only saying things like this just to spite Nate

why does francis have to be such a nerd

also this arc is a 0/10 so rubbish no storyline

Maybe Francis, for once, is wrong. Nate can change.

His tongue got stuck to the pole, reminds me of a christmas story.

If you’re thinking about doing what Nate did, don’t!

Why must Francis doubt him? He acts like Nate has no rizz.

since when was NATE so dumb he licked a pole
