Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for August 19, 2016

Better out than in.

I predict tears…

Well at least she can’t send him to detention, can she?

nate should have said much more

I have a feeling Mrs Godfrey admit she did the wrong thing, then kill nate

You would think the coach would step in.

This is not fair! Until now Mrs Godfrey was “reasonable” – now? Please graduate to the 7th grade. New teachers – move the story along.

I think he will get the ole’ heave ho!!! Take a walk!!! Hit the showers!!! Nate!!!

Crazy AND blind.

Kick dirt on her, Nate!

Nate may have been right about her all along. How stupid can you be???

Oh my lord. For Pete’s sake, the ball hit the dirt!

Anyone else thinking this is all Nate’s imagination so far?

Also, How come the Catcher has no reaction to Miss Godfrey’s calls? He should know those were bad pitches by the Pitcher?

At least Nate realized his mistake as soon as he said it, but the outcome doesn’t look it’s going to be good.

Detention! I mean, benched!

He’s going to wake up from his nightmare soon.

Nate is such a smart, ingenious, master-manipulator of people – especially the ladies.

How come he never switches up tactics on Mrs. Godfrey, like smiling, politely bowing and saying “Good call Umpire. Thank you!”

Next, we see Nate trash talking the pitcher:" was that a pitch or a bounce pass?"

Time for the coach to come out and discuss this. He should play the game under protest due to the umpire’s incompetence and bias.

She must have passed a certification to even be allowed to umpire. How did that happen?

That was a ball!

I bet she’s mixed up the calls.

Once the evil vindictive woman, always the evil vindictive woman.

She deserves it. That second “strike” was at eye level. The third pitch clearly came in over the plate below knee level, regardless of whether it hit the dirt. She needs glasses (and possibly a new attitude).

uh-oh

Sue her ;)

Wowza thought he was gonna argue but WOW also cant believe his face

NATE NO!!!!!!

Nate in Panel 4 looks like Peter when he gets mad. Also, that’s the best call I’ve heard so far.

i think she’s gonna admit she’s wrong

….just another example of someone being placed in an occupation they’re not qualified for……..

Nate, don’t be freaked out. She is.

OOOOOOOHHH!!

Bad move Nate

Mrs Godfrey, you said 2 Strips ago that you wouldn’t be in favour of Nate’s team! You never said you would be in favour of the OTHER TEAM!!!!

I once got called out on a play like that in soccer too, Nate.

Oh dear god!

i would be the same

Nate!!!! Why did u DO that???

She is crazy

If I were the umpire, that would be a ball.

that was ball not strike

Terrible call by mrs Godfrey! What was that

That was the worst call I have ever seen

I don’t know much about baseball but, is that throw even legal?

Nate should have his Will ready when he’s dead after this

Busted!

Handy tip, Nate: Don’t yell at the umpire, especially since she’s your social studies teacher..

well he screwed

Ms. godfrey s a terrible ump.

the little league people should fire her but i know that wont happen

why doesnt nate try to hit the ball at godfrey

Well lets get a to be continued meme for nate

It was at this moment that he knew, he f!cked up.

oh no

GOt a snipper im a shoot her

( ´-ω･)︻┻┳══━一

Watch yo’ mouth

It was at this moment Nate knew,………………. he screwed up.

Oh god this is not gonna go down well

It was at this moment that Nate knew, he [CENSORED] up.

HOW WAS NATE SUPPOSED TO HIT THAT!

There is clearly no eye exam before being an umpire.

The catchers just like huh

She’s clearly offsides!!
