Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for September 25, 2006
Transcript:
"Ah! For once, I'm ready for school picture day!" "I'm not going to let the school picture guy catch me with a stupid expression on my face! I've been practicing!" "Practicing?" "How do you practice for a picture?" "You practice your look! I now have my own personal look!" "...And here it is." "Very natural." "I thought the point was to NOT look stupid."
I believe this is the first strip in which Nate attempts his “rugged manly” expression.
