Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 07, 2024

Worst !

4th wall break incoming?

Talk about breaking the 4th wall

Way to make names for yourselves?

I see a food theme…

Poll:how long have you been reading big nate in general in gocomics any website and any book

Is this the first time they acknowledge that time doesn’t work properly?

This is really leaning into the fourth wall. 7th grade soon?

Remember Kuddle Kittens??

WOAH HOH HOH, BIG NATE LORE ACKNOWLEDGED??!!

7/10, only for acknowledging the strip’s history, he just straight up names every name the team has had. Joke is pretty weak and cliche though, but what more would you want

I’ve been reading Big Nate since I was eleven myself so many years ago, yet I never quite realized they were staying the same age while I was getting older. They’re just that relatable.

YESSS 2 MORE DAYS TILL REAL MADRID AND MAN CITY CLASH!!!!!

Pointing out the plot holes in your own work is either deeply humble or maximum hubris, I can’t tell which.

I think Nate saying, “Don’t ask me to explain it” is more of a fourth wall breaker than Francis pointing it out.

12 seasons, over 3 decades of the worst baseball team names. Also we still haven’t seen Nate and his team get made fun of for their new name the Cellar Dwellers. That one arc mentioning the new name from a couple years ago only had Nate complaining about it. Personally, I think Cellar Dwellers is kind of a cool name. Probably because lately I’ve been listening to electronic rock / metal project Celldweller.

PS: Looks like GoComics is banning URLs for real. I had to add some space surrounding the slash symbol

The fourth wall has crumbled and the fifth is coming close.

Place your bets, folks. What’ll the new name be?

Wow. Peirce remembers all that but not Ellen LOL JK!

This is an interesting strip to me. TONS of nostalgia vibes here, I love it. I wonder if it has a deeper meaning…like Peirce wrapping the strip up soon?

Why are their teams for baseball always so bad

the worst name legacy to have held for.

4th wall break?

Wibley, wobbly,timey, whimey.

I’ve been on some bad team names before, nothing as bad as Big Nate’s. I was on Michaelowski Agency, then Paulowski Autobody, then Incredible Oil, then Walton Electric. Looking back on that, those weren’t half bad.

Do the Boston Red Sox ever wish to change their name? Or their sox? What are their chances this year?

Breaking the forth wall

Joe’s chicken doesn’t sound that bad

Yeah, ask Pierce to explain that better. He’s pointing out his own plotholes.

Ha! Self-reference in a comic strip! (sort of…). Pierce is not quite breaking the fourth wall, but he is scuffing it up a bit.

In my freshman year in college, my current girl friend lived with about five other girls in the (nicely fixed up) basement of the president’s home, and they called themselves the Cellar Dwellers. I appreciated the joke so much I married her after we graduated.

They’ve also been the vultures

Do you think they are gonna ever realize that they are in a comic strip?

That’s a comic strip, nothing will change

Some of those are not bad at all. What’s wrong with Joe’s Pizza, Chicken, Tacos? All the teams are sponsored. Now when they were the Creampuffs and Cupcakes, he has a point.

9/10, I LOVE 4th wall breakers! Although, what about the “Nothings” and the Vultures? Wordle: starts with c, ends with c.

This is actually like fracturing the 4th wall

Ooh that was interestingly meta

You’re in that continuous loop called comic land, a very magical place. Please don’t ever leave it……

….next mind-boggling topic: why they’ve been stuck in 6th grade since, like, 1991………

Like 6 years

A nice little trip down memory lane with this one. And technically it’s thirteen seasons, since Nate left out when they named themselves the Vultures.

Ground Hog Day, AGAIN?

Ha! Apparently never been sponsored by a math academy.

The 4th wall is in agony after this strip

this year…Montoni’s Pizza!!

How ridiculous will their name be this year? Reply for ideas

thats wild

I really hope Monday is good

The Cellar Dwellers?

If this is the case, I wonder when SHelia’s coming back if they can break the 4th wall and remember 30 years of horrible team names

Thanks for clearing up why it didn’t add up: comic strip logic makes wonders.

What do you guys think tomorrows arc is gonna be?

Nate, at least next time tell coach all these horrible names so that you guys can change the team name for once.

they about to become the garage cleaners

Ah memories

breaking the fourth wall.

Woe old references are always cool

Random 4th wall break!

Tomorrow we invade the Fire Nation

Just look at the bottom of the last panel and look at the space between the second last and last panel. Oops, I said too much.

is lincoln retireing??

They forgot Vultures
