Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for July 12, 1996
Transcript:
Nate: Like all ballplayers, I'm superstitious! I follow exactly the same routine every time I go up to bat! I knock the dirt off my cleats, tap the plate twice with my bat, and then take three practice swings! WHIFF!...WHIFF!...WHIFFF! Francis: Did those last three count as practice swings? Nate: Shut up.
Maybe he should just stick with chess.
