Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for October 24, 2021

Mr. Staple’s skin looks pale than it was before

The first drawing made me nostalgic.

Stubborn Nate.

Also if it is a timed test you don’t want to waste too much time trying to solve one problem that has you stumped. Continue on and come back to it later if you finish and still have time.

Everyone studied except for nate

After the last panel: Everyone raises their hands

Good ol’ Nate.

I would have studied.

Two reasons why this could help:- you will have the time to solve the other problems- some of the other questions may contain a hint that helps you solve the hard question

I used the latter during history quizes at high school level. The teacher always prepared a test of about twenty question on the subject. Answers to some questions could be deduced from information within other questions. I barely ever studied and got on with Bs.

He’s the math teacher. How would you study for that?

You’re right Mr Staples, it’s only October, at least Christmas vacation is coming up soon!

Nate is obviously class clown! Nice one Nate, good logic XD

I honestly want an episode more about like random student and francis/teddy’s reaction not nate all the time. Does anyone else agree?

…..and when EVERY hand in the class goes up except his, Nate goes from thinking he has a problem, to KNOWING he has a problem……..

It’s my birthday :D

It’s only October. That means it’s almost Christmas break!

It’s why you get the big bucks and all the perks……

Also, sometimes you can see something in a future problem that reminds you of a previous problem. Less relevant to math, but still…

In reality the strategy works because you don’t waste time on the questions you don’t know, giving you more time to answer the questions you do know.

Huh

Nate will wind up skipping all the problems.

Poll: Which do you guys like better lately, the Sunday strips or the weekly arcs? If you don’t like polls don’t reply.

I always saw skipping questions as a way to get the others done quicker. Don’t waste the whole test time on one question, get some others answered first.

I had a great retort to this Sunday toon but I forgot to study for this test.

This comic is average? Big Nate is absolutely the BEST comic out there right now, hands down.

To be honest it does work for me sometimes.

I’m guessing this is Nate’s first test of the year. Meanwhile, I’ve had like 5. Also, Nate’s giving that big brain stuff. Something I like to see.

NICKELODEON LIED TO ALL OF US!!!! THEY SAID THAT THE BIG NATE SHOW WOULD PREMIER IN SEPTEMBER!!!! IT’S OCTOBER!!!! WHERE’S THE BIG NATE SHOW HUH????!!!!

Sorry I haven’t commented in a while lol

Also, Mr. Staples’ hair looks different. I know we haven’t seen him in a while, but yeah.

I just realized, Gordie and Mr. Staples have the same nose type!

Comment if you were around when there was a whole pact of people who would flag spammers. There was a lot back then. I didn’t have an account back then but I definitely remember.

How did my review get deleted again?

boom?

mr staples looks sorta pale

That teacher is a literal blockhead!

Then what post apocolyptic hellscape will june be?

7/10 b/c I love the first drawn panel

You don’t.
