The thing is Nate has been successful, not due to luck, but due to the confidence he got from believing in the lucky pencil. If he doesn’t have the pencil but believes in himself he would succeed. Of course that wouldn’t be funny so he will never figure this out. the popcorn party was the only truly lucky thing that happened as it was totally out of the range of normal events.
Nate’s good fortune is always fleeting. Nate always loses and that’s is what keeps the readers coming back. They like to see poor Nate losing. Losing spectacularly.
I would like to thank commenters like, (and not limited to), Clutch, LINK_O_NEAL, Neptune_Ninja_Comics, Yoda, ComicComet, Meevee1, Francis B. Pope, BiggerNate91, and more for their loyalty to Big Nate through thick and thin. When the reruns were being posted you stuck with Big Nate. I would also like to thank you guys for making commenting fun and amusing but, you also know when to be serious about situations (like getting banned). I would also like to say we know each other much more than alot of people on other comics, and it is nice to have someone to comment with. So I would just like to thank you all for sticking with Big Nate!!!
I think it is good he lost the pencil. Before Nate had the pencil, my baseball team was undefeated. After Nate found the pencil, we have lost every game. With the pencil out of his hands, could my team win tonight? I will tell you tomorrow. (Cheer for my team!) (P.S. This is all true.)
That’s almost ‘battery’ : intentional offensive or harmful touching of another person without their consent. Almost, at the very minimum it’s theft. The cartoonist should be charged for allowing a person of authority to ‘dominate’ a student.
Prediction: Mr. Galvin is gonna break the pencil, and Nate will be depressed. However, if Pierce makes the story longer, then Nate will be depressed, but then become lucky again because he realizes that it is not the pencil making him lucky, but his confidence.

Also, to be fair, that’s kind of stealing. Mr. Galvin just plucked it out of his ear without asking.

I’m sorry, but in Nate’s defense, you don’t just grab something off of someone else’s body, like a hat, glasses, or, yes, a pencil, without asking.
