Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 31, 2012

I take the car 24/7 when I play Monopoly.(Yup, I love cars :) No one fights for it, unless we play GarfieldOpoly, then I’m pizza.

I just played monopoly with my children last night.

No, I am! I’ve won 31 games on there.

I have 24 hours minus 9 minutes until the new year. But thanks for the idea of a Monopoly marathon tomorrow night.

2012 done.

Edna Krabappoly???!!!!!!!!

Looks like Nate’s pushing out the old year with his same old grind (cheat, cheat, and MORE cheat)!!! Bring in ARTUR!! THAT always levels the playing field!Last “Haw! HAW!!” this year, folks!! (Aren’t you sort of glad?? Heh.)

Edna Krabappoly???!!!!!!!!

Happy New Year Nate fans. Hope it’s a good one.

You too Mr. Peirce. Thanks for all the laughs.

I’ve seen Dogopoly, Catopoly, Wineopoly,Beeropoly, Coctailopoly, Snowopoly, Earthopoly, and Santaopoly… ALL IN THE SAME STORE. It was crazy.

Good luck!

My father told me he always played Monopoly on New years eve with his friends, and “Space Odyssey” was one of our favorite movies, so we saw the year 2001 in by playing Monopoly with him.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all the Big Nate fans out there. Good luck making your quota kids. :-)

Good luck on getting the comments.

GO GO GO!!!

Speaking of monopoly – have you heard about the new monopoly that uses your Ipad and an app. It’s a board game but the ipad is the banker and tells you what chance and community chest cards you get. Can’t cheat as much that way.

I’m not sure anybody is reading these comments. I started out reading them but then it just got too crazy.

This isn’t spam is it?

This is the first time I’ve read Big Nate. It’s kind of cute so I will leave it on my reading list.

Well this is 5 from me! Good luck and HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Sorry about this to everyone it’s just a bit of fun. Please don’t be angry. We won’t do it again.

I didn’t believe it was possible…

… but I’m beginning to think “IT….COULD….WORK!” (Young Frankenstein)

WE CAN DO THIS!

Do we want 2012 comments or 2013?

I suppose I should stop trying to read all the comments between posts!

Cookies – That’s what i wondered… should it be 2013?

What the hay! Here’s another comment:)

Been watching Abbott and Costello on TCM… Abbott: Goofè Dean. Well, let’s see, we have on the bags, Who’s on first, What’s on second, I Don’t Know is on third…

Costello: That’s what I want to find out.

Abbott: I say Who’s on first, What’s on second, I Don’t Know’s on third.

Costello: Are you the manager?

Abbott: Yes.

Costello: You gonna be the coach too?

Abbott: Yes.

Costello: And you don’t know the fellows’ names?

Abbott: Well I should.

Costello: Well then who’s on first?

Abbott: Yes.

Costello: I mean the fellow’s name.

Abbott: Who.

Costello: The guy on first.

Abbott: Who.

Costello: The first baseman.

Abbott: Who.

Costello: The guy playing…

Abbott: Who is on first!

Costello: I’m asking YOU who’s on first.

Abbott: That’s the man’s name.

Costello: That’s who’s name?

Abbott: Yes.

COMMENT

Hope this works

ARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKK

Costello: Well go ahead and tell me.

Abbott: That’s it.

Costello: That’s who?

Abbott: Yes.

Costello: Look, you gotta first baseman?

Abbott: Certainly.

Costello: Who’s playing first?

Abbott: That’s right.

Make sure to

POW BANG TAKE THAT !

BOOOOHOOOHOOOHOOO

FRREDOM AND JUSTIC PREVAIL

to post it around

Costello: When you pay off the first baseman every month, who gets the money?

Abbott: Every dollar of it.

Costello: All I’m trying to find out is the fellow’s name on first base.

Abbott: Who.

Costello: The guy that gets…

Abbott: That’s it.

Costello: Who gets the money…

Abbott: He does, every dollar. Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it.

Costello: Who’s wife?

Abbott: Yes.

PAUSE

Abbott: What’s wrong with that?

And if possible

Okay, you begged nicely through the majority of my comics. You’re at about 1825, you just might make it. So Happy New Year!!!!!

Who # 2012 is

Costello: Look, all I wanna know is when you sign up the first baseman, how does he sign his name?

Abbott: Who.

Costello: The guy.

Abbott: Who.

Costello: How does he sign…

Abbott: That’s how he signs it.

Costello: Who?
