Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for July 13, 2022

Where’s the joke?

How does Nate know he has that many fans?

Extrapolate = “extend the application of (a method or conclusion) to an unknown situation by assuming that existing trends will continue or similar methods will be applicable.”

close enough nate.

6/10

About time we get another Arthur strip.

I suspect Artur to have many more fans than Nate.

so its just gonna be a week of nate and teddy meeting other characters until we finally see the kid who sent the letter (IF its an actual fan and not a prank)

Nate is becoming unlikeable. Gregory never said anything about meeting Nate, and that’s assuming that he’s even real. So Nate would just walk up to this kid, which is dumb, because how is he even supposed to know who Gregory is? He’d just have to ask a bunch of random kids if their name is Gregory, which would be weird.

4/10 It’s really starting to become old. I’m both bored and excited. I need to know if this is real or a prank.

Great future ahead as a pollster or statistician for politics there.

How is it that Artur’s command of English is so poor if he’s supposed to be an extraordinary genius? One would think that he’d absorb and understand the language incredibly quickly and be the most competent English-speaker at school. At least Nate beats Artur soundly in this one respect. It’s quite an implausibility in Lincoln’s writing of the character.

Action!Script Rating: 4/10

Nothing like making a mountain out of a molehill.

He has had many other students admire his pranking. But if they admire him for pranks than they would be a prankster. Which could lead to…

I think the letter went to the wrong address, and was for a different person named nate

….it’s probably a pack ’o the neighborhood bullies (all older kids……) who are also just out of school for the summer, are already bored, and have hatched a wicked plot to lure gullible kids into a grove of trees, or…..mmmmm, the proverbial dark alley, and open the ’ol can ’o whupass on the hapless victim(s)……….

I’m feeling a sense of doom…I have a feeling Nate’s not going to like the next few days ….

I always liked Artur. He should have his own strip.

Today is my birthday

I’m getting extrapolicousnausea! LOL!

At least Artur is better with context!

Hopefully this arc ends with Nate saying “Oh, how I hate him” and slowly walking home humiliated.

Oh my gosh.. WOW! It’s been so long ! Hi everyone! :D

This is a weird arc, but it’s unique. We’ve never seen an arc where Nate interacts with a fan of his.

8/10
