Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 19, 2022

Well, I can’t say I’m not intrigued about how this will play out. I just hope it won’t dissolve into a boring, stale, re-used arc. The odds are not in my favor on that, but we’ll see.

I bet even Uncle Ted won’t let Nate get a dog for Christmas

I thought his uncle didn’t have money.

Also, he’ll probably get him a rabid dog or something.

This… could be intersting! I mean, I think it’s safe to assume that Nate won’t actually get a dog, but the arc might have potential!

Uncle Ted may not be up to sharing his Triscuits, but will he do the nice thing of getting Nate a dog? Maybe…

I wonder how lazy neckbeards end up becoming lazy neckbeards. I’d like to hear Uncle Ted’s story. And how do you expect him to persuade Marty to buy Nate a dog? He doesn’t even have a job yet.

6/10 It has a chance of being bad, but it does look like Ted will fail miserably.

Foolish Enlarged Nathaniel. Aren’t you aware that your uncle resides with your grandad and grandmum? That old knob probably can’t even afford beans on toast! How in the world will he afford to buy you a canine?

This will be interesting.

Strip rating: 3/10 Uncle Ted is a boring person.

…that’s the LAST guy you ask for ANYTHING………

Cheez-It® Puff’d™ is our latest fave!

It’s worth a shot.

Christmas is the time of good arcs

what if nate finally gets a dog? he probably wont but you never know.

You should adopt Spitsey.

Nate is going to ask Uncle Ted, who doesn’t have money or a job and lives in his parents’ basement, to get him a dog?

I guess I am out of the loop. I thought Spitzy was Nate’s dog

For some reason i thought this uncle guy lived far away somewhere but apparently they’re in the same town

Good luck with that dog thing….

Looks like a good arc 8 out of 10

So now we know Uncle Ted is smart enough to know what sweet-talking is. That isn’t saying much though.
