Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for May 14, 2023

Happy Mother’s Day

Is it weird that I was kinda hoping for a Mother’s day reference?

My friend used to live next to a golf course. Whenever a ball landed in his yard he’d run outside and lie next to it then act groggy when getting up.

Yeah this one is quite recycled. I don’t mind it, but it’s not nearly as funny as other golf strips. Punchline is meh too.

1\10, only not a 0 because I’m not angry just miffed

Happy Mothers Day! :D anyway yeah this is recycled- pretty normal, only things different about this one and the other one is uh- there’s a camera person and the couple is younger-

D tier, if you couldn’t think of anything new then why not just make the Sunday strip connect to the arc?

OR: You can saturate the color and make that baby REALLY stand out!!

Keep a copy for small claims court…

…

“Oh look the suns coming out”“It must be a good omen!”The photographer: dang now my exposure’s off

Is this a rerun?

Strip rating: 8/10 Dad, how do you miss THAT BADLY??

Marty answered the question on the form: “Describe yourself in one short sentence”. He did: he’s dreadful, and he’s sorry…….

Nate’s dad really should quit while he’s ahead.

i was hoping this would be a mothers day strip but oh well

There should be an Sunday Strip where Marty finally gets the ball in the hole on the 1st or 2nd try

This comic is weird, to be honest. Idk wtf this is. No offence, Peirce but havent you used this already??

Oh no… this joke has been used before. I always knew this day would come! Peirce is… RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS! dramatic music

I used to live next to a golf course and half of them were BAD you know how I know my dad plays on that same course My brother nearly got hit on the head even though it was physically imposible like no joke he was probably marty

This one was kinda boring I really don’t like the recycling. Like, why not it be about literally anything else?

0/10 I don’t hate it or anything there is just nothing funny whatsoever, no joke, nothing TO like about it.

The single tree really makes this the perfect spot for a photo

Maybe not so good……

I grew up in a golf community, with my house right next to a golf course. There are tons of warnings to watch out for golf balls flying at your head.

In short, it’s the couple’s fault. They might as well have decided to take their engagement photo in left field at a baseball stadium.

Just noticing it now, The picture taking woman literally just looks like a older recolored Daphne

Looks like the kindergarten has reconvened.

He is going to feel that in the morning.

To all those citing Lincoln’s recycling of an older joke: you DO realize he’s been AT this for 30+ years, right? It’s hard to come up with original ideas day after day for that long. Let’s just hang it up and see what tomorrow brings!! Back to Nate + Daphne!!

The couple look to be an older Daphne and Nate getting married

I would be sorry if I were Martin. A+

Is the camera guy Daphne’s mom
