Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for February 20, 2024

so it begins the dual of le duex. which side will win?

I hope Gina’s grandmother is someone Nate’s grandmother knows

It does not make any sense since Gina’s grandmother is dead if you see the comments from yesterday that someone posted the comic strip that Gina said her grandmother is rolling in her grave

Release the gram!

grandma’s all fired up! 7/10

toes. no comment

Like Grandma, like son.

So this is where Nate gets it

The Crinkle Kraken!

Wasn’t it “Enslave the mollusk”?

Family bonding through mutual hatred for dissing a cherished recipe. Beautiful~

…release the crinkles…

I remember in the old big nate strips where Ellen would at least make an appearance every 2 weeks. But she must be in College now.

When other family members get involved in your rivalry.

RELEASE THE CRINKLE KRAKEN BWAHHAHA HA!

Lol! I love Gram’s competitive side! 9/10

8/10, funny strip!

Marges face is hilarious!! She for SURE will beat GINA!!

Grinding Granny.

Nate’s grandma is ready to bring in the pain to Gina

Hmmmm so despite what I said yesterday if you look at the top comment he is probably correct

Dang, a rivalry that spans generations.

Well, considering I have family, some of whom like the Cardinals and others like the Cubs, I can understand it.

Just a gram of kraken powder should do it!

And now we know where Nate gets his competitive streak :0

So that’s where he gets his neurotic competitiveness from.

What was your favorite thing to do with your grandma/grandparent?

Seems like they both hate Gina and her grandmother. Possible plot twist: Gina’s grandmother just doesn’t care.

Game on

Time to give another bruising…….

Oh, yeah, right. According to the comments, yeah, isn’t Gina’s grandmother canonically dead??

Strip rating: 6/10 Where’s the consistency at, Peirce? I know you probably don’t remember Gina saying that, but still…

Move the hell over Mr Christy.

This could be Gina’s grandmother on the other side of her family.

You know there are other kids at their school who could probably bake better than both of them Shelia,Francis,Jenny,Marcus….

Ok! Been gone this weekend but this seems like a interesting arc! Overall Rating: 7/10

Let’s go marge

Now we know where Nate gets his competitive streak…

A wrinkle on the crinkles. Go, Gram!

This will end in sugarshed

This is a very original week. Excited to see what comes tomorrow!

…nice try, Nate, but only Poseidon can “release the Kraken”………..

8/10, exciting! Nate’s grandma gotta win!

I’m back! Anybody miss me?

At first I thought she was being Mrs. Positive.

But then she turned all Mrs. Challenger.

Hopefully, for some reason, Nate’s Grandma does not lose

The hatred between the two families is so strong that it could only be stopped through Nate and Gina’s marriage. In other words, never.
