Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for March 04, 2024

Poor Peter. He had to hang out with Nate

I will see you all in a week or so since those strips bore me to death! Have a great week!

I swear Peirce has already done this exact strip before

Shucks to be you, Peter.

I almost misread “Curshes” as “Crushes”, which actually would make sense when Peter’s hope for a pleasant day without Nate gets crushed

Why does a first-grader have a crush on his babysitter

Dude, she did that on purpose.

400+ strips since Pete’s last appearance!

I don’t get Peter, he’s a smart kid he should be able to realize that every time Nate shows up he’s going to show him something he’ll be super interested in later.

Aw man, sorry Peter.

Actually though, this arc is in a beginning to a start! We haven’t seen Peter in a while – glad to have him back!

7/10, funny but….reused.

Who is Vanessa? This is really reused

No way every character is returning except for Ellen. Can we start a Bring Back Ellen Campaign? At least just for a Sunday strip.

The classic duo is back.

If Mom is considering Nate to be a D-minus selection, she has no business hiring him for the job. I sure as heck wouldn’t when my kids were that age.

Try and see if Kim is available

Peter has a crush?

Gee whiz, when was the last time we saw Peter

good ol’ peter, he’s back!

Is anyone else disturbed by this ongoing trope of pre-pubescent boys drooling over adult women?

“plan D-Minus” Good one!! Too bad she was off-camera, HER I gotta meet!!

See plan D-minus is funny because that’s Nate’s average social studies grade

“Plan D-” XD good one.

This has been used multiple times.

terrible reuse…

4/12

Peter arcs are formulaic and boring. It’s nate forcing peter to do something he hates, than he starts whining the entire arc

Peter is back y’all

PEETA’s back. Speaking of D- i think that’s what ill rate this arc.

I, Gina Hemphill-Toms, would make the best babysitter for Peter.

Oof. I feel bad for Peter.

That kid lisps when he thinks to himself??

So he even THINKS with a lisp?

Even Peter’s mom doesn’t like Nate!

PETER!!! To bad he has to hang with Nate again. Overall Rating: 7/10

That’s Crazy

Ok that D- joke was pretty hilarious.

RERUN

Peter reminds me of Sedgwick in Monty.

Oh, the nerdy kid likes some kitty kat.

A new arc begins

Plan Z, hire Nate

Peter’s back!

Does it always have to start like this why does she like oh yeah I called some person there not here so Nate’s babysitting you then he’s like oh fudge and Nate’s like Peter m’boy unoriginal also why does Peter’s babysitters always not here also why does his mom always leave and why don’t they show her face like what the heck

It’s one of those strips were it makes the reader question Lincoln’s. ability and creativity

I feel like I have seen this strip before with how repetitive it is

Didn’t Peter ended up liking Nate?

D-? Try F-

Switch the U and R around.

Funny thing is It actually matches his grade!
