Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 28, 2011
Transcript:
My dad chewed me out for giving Ellen this beat up book for Christmas. Well, it serves you right! What? It wasn't my fault that it got wet, and Spitsy chewed it up, and... But it all started when you threw it at that clerk in the book store! Books are to read, not to hit people with! DOOF!

One would think, after all this time (these guys have been in the sixth grade since, like, 1991), Frannn-ciss woulda seen THAT coming. Never lets us down, does he? Haw! HAW!!

Geezus. Really?

“Doof” is my favorite sound effect word in this strip. In the pantheon of funny sound effect words, it’s right up there with “glitch”, which MAD magazine used whenever a character stepped in a pile of dog, er, ah, ‘droppings’.
Francis got “doofed”, haha.

The Sears catalog is not a book, despite their name. The way Sears is going these days, it will soon be a moot issue.

I liked “DIFF!”, th sound Nate’s paper airplane made when it hit his art teacher’s head in a long ago & far away strip. Haw! HAW!!
maurarocks101 about 13 years ago

A name for the strip? Hmm. Any name I can come up with is a parody of one alreaady used. For example, Nate’s World, View from the Sixth Grade, World of Nate. Big Nate is a unique phrase. I’d keep it.

With all this chatter about Big Nate chapter books, I borrowed “Big Nate strikes again” from the library and quite enjoyed the mixed media presentation. I don’t read juvenile fixtion much since the children grew up (and no grandchildren yet) so I found this book quite unique. It has three points of view: Narrator, cartoonist and Nate’s cartoons. The inside cover art was also very different, containing activities. Well done Lincoln.

It was actually an accident it hit the clerk, Francis kind of deserved that hit.

Yeah, but YOUR the reason he threw the book at the clerk, you twit. It’s not Nate’s fault he gave a whole new meaning to hitting the books.

The Life of Nate? Sixth Grade Tales? Okay, I think The Life of Nate would be better than 6th Grade Tales

Big Nate who is usually great except when he’s a jerk which is like 95 Percent of the time but is still awesome so i still read his comics on a roll? No, that might be a bit to short….

That self-righteous look on Francis’s face probably deserved that.
