Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for October 27, 2012

Dude. Relax. It’s just a comic strip. Jeeeeeeezus!

This is more like it. Life should never be fair to Nate, or this strip wouldn’t be any fun. I’m still upset that he beat Gina in that chess game.

Good saying, mate. ;D

I’m not Denver Broncos, but I’m goalie. As I said yesterday, I’m a little distracted at sometimes and good when I choose to be.

Count me in for DPABR! -despite being goalie-can i?

Dude, don’t forget your meds.

Wasn’t there one soccer mom there recording the action?

@garfieldfanclubpresidentHe means take a chill pill and stop posting 20,000 comments and also stop saying that KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

The two complete sentences uttered in panel four: talk about contradictory premises!!

Also, ALL they have to do now is play like it IS “that Jefferson game”…….gloating on Elmwood’s record as they came into this game didn’t exactly psyche them up for “a real contest” just as Nate started that jinx nonsense.1)awww, just screw the ref and move ahead2)this one ain’t over yet!! NOW you guys have something to REALLY play for!!IT’S HERO TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMMEEEE!!!!

The kid looks an awful lot like Randy….

I want to slap that kid and give him a swirlie

Goalie

MAKE THAT FOUR OF US!

WTF???? THAT IS SOOO WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The suavee-smuggie-oh-I-got-away-with-it-&-you-can’t-do-nuthin’-nyah-nyah-nyah-ha-ha expression on that kid’s face in panel three sells the whole pakage, Lincoln! More of your usual stellar work!! Laugh! Chortle! Snicker!! Glee!! Mirth!!!! & stuff like that here…………

I believe Nate’s telling the truth.

Replacement ref – whatcha gonna do?

Frickin’ replacement refs!!

Really Peirce? Is this just some cruel act, or are you saying the replacement refs must go?

How did the ref not see it? That’s kinda bogus.

The honor system that Nate’s never followed?

Nate’s team’s offense must be bad, if they can’t score a goal on a team that hasn’t won in 5 years

It is just a game

Idiot

Legit unfair.

You’re telling that to a team that had a 5-year losing streak. Give them the glory for once. Nice try though, Nate.

Worst. Referee. Ever.

This arc always angered me as a kid, and still does. To list to a bad team is one thing, but by cheating? How is that funny? If the joke was “Nate gets so obsessed with the jinx he gets distracted and they lose”, then I would get it, but this is just stupid

They lost for so long they’ll manipulate the ref to win.
