Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 05, 2023

I disagree with people saying that arcs get dragged on through the week.While it seems like the arc is long and has too many filler days, when you the arcs all at once instead of one part per day, you won’t feel like it gets dragged on.

It’s Argo, not Argon. And yes, it really did star Ben Affleck. This is also the second Big Nate comic to mention both Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, here’s the FIRST one: https://www.gocomics.com/bignate/2016/08/13

In his joint project with Susie about the planet Mercury, Calvin said it was named after the Roman deity who’s the FTD Florists registered trademark.

Always with these two people, aren’t they.

3/10 Really have nothing to say, except end this arc. Please.

Am i the only one who don’t understand these references?

Naw, Nate, it was Leonardo DiCaprio, bro! Get your actors right!

I literally do not know what to say……..wow?

What is wrong? What isn’t wrong? Whatever is wrong isn’t right.

I remember the catch phrase from Argo, “Argo f—— yourself”

Went to night classes at Community College to get degree in programming. I was partnered up with someone for a project and I tried to help them, but they dropped out and there I am with my half of the project. Luckily the instructor accepted my half and I got a good grade.

The best throw down by Daphne would’ve been if she had corrected his spelling, that movie was ARGO as in ARGOf**kYourself.

This generation (including me idk) would not understand this and I have no idea who the heck Ben Affleck is.

Nate loves his movies

I don’t even know what that movie is, or who Ben Affleck is. I’ve heard of him.

Strip rating: 4/10 The joke wasn’t very funny, because I didn’t understand what they were referring to here.

Ugh……reminds me of the time the class had to report on (sub) planet Pluto…..Mr. Galvin told Nate: “PLEASE say you did NOT write your report on the Disney character.” Fret not! Turns out that Nate wrote a paper about Popeye’s nemesis “Bluto”………

No, it was Ben Affleck AND John Goodman.

It’s Argo, Pinhead. How come you don’t know that even though you basically know everything except Social Studies.

Since having Nate as a lab partner, Daphne has been talking a lot and has no problem saying what she thinks. It seems that being with Nate is good for her, probably before it was Gina who didn’t let her talk.

bro when will he figure out that school does not involve movies

Nate’s insane answers will never not be funny. My favourite is still when he identified Calvin Coolidge as a backup point guard for the Denver Nuggets.

Must have not realized it was a science project question. I’m sure that he knew that answer….

yes

6/10, not as good as usual but ok

You have to keep it in context. Who was Galileo? “He’s just a poor boy, from a poor family. Spare him his life from this monstrosity!” – Freddie Mercury, Queen

Usually when Pierce uses a pop culture reference it falls dead flat (see the tik tok arc from a year ago, or the Taylor Swift joke from, I want to say, February?). Point is, he usually fails on these, and who even talks about Argo anymore, but I can’t help but find Nate’s reaction at the end funny, plus Daphne actually being cordial instead of the usual ‘go away Nate’ reaction everyone else has is refreshing.

A solid 7/10 again, though the fact this and last week were the best arcs in ages says a lot XD. It’s okay but nothing incredible.

“your answers were wrong.” Hey, isn’t that what the IRS says

The day the Mario movie released!

I don’t get it again. A movie starring Ben Affleck? I just can’t read it. A+.
