Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for May 22, 2024

I wonder who will be on the teacher’s side

This whole rivalry between Nate and Godoffrey has to go eventually.

Mrs. Godfrey is probably rusty and Nate still has a chance.

ohhhhhh no this is bad

Nate is such a silly goose

Wait what is softball since I’m European I don’t know what it is

Maybe the teachers can draft in Mr. B as a substitute since he’s no longer appearing in “Crabgrass.”

Somehow that reminds me of Miss Trunchbull (from Matilda) being an Olympic “hammer-throwing champion”, hence her signature hammer-throw

Well I was right Godfrey will be the star for the teachers

Ooh hooo that went by quickly.

Ok but Mrs Godfrey probably went to college a long time ago so her softball skills may have faded

My math teacher was a d1 softball player

A league of her own?

Oh, dang, this just got INTERESTING! How did that fat cow ever be good at the game?

how are yall commenting so early 7 hours ago it wasn’t even bright outside

Why does this arc actually seem interesting now? For what I konw, Godfrey was never mentioned to be a softball pro, so looking forward to where this is going!!

Ooh boy

I really like this arc

Nate’s gonna lose to a teacher

….two of the three bulbs there are bright……and it AIN’T the one on the far left, y’know, Mr. Ha heh heh hooooo, himself……

FLASHBACKS TO THE KIDS VS. TEACHERS BASKETBALL GAME

Nate’s in trouble, gamewise.

Is it me or does Nate remind me of Yosemite Sam in the third and last panels? The big laugh followed by the “deer in the headlights” look and the slow stop of the laughter.

Mrs. Godfrey is sharpening her spikes, honing her chin music, and putting a nice sharp edge onto her trash talking.

Nate’s face looks really weird in the last strip.

Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Nate should have been tipped off by Mrs. Godfrey’s “new” glove and her asking him to soften it. That means she had previous ones and that she knew they work better when loosened up.

who has a prediction for the final score?

naturally

WAR IS OVVVERRRR WAARRRR ISSSSS OOOOOOOOOVERRRR

She seems to have had a good childhood. Straight As, all-star softball, cross country, never got in trouble, and remember her saying she was the most popular girl in school?

I came back from vacation :)

do you think angie is nate’s best girlfriend

Ha! Seen that happen over and over again, someone who doesn’t look athletic sending the ball out of the park or making a miraculous catch. Never judge and teacher by itheir glover.

I wonder if she’ll win MVP

i think nates dad should get a gf or a wife either that or nigel comes back being nates secret brother

Don’t forget Nate, i’m pretty sure she was your referee too.

we should see Nate make a backyard fair for the neighborhood.

That probably means Godfrey is pitching. I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of those fastballs.

Softballing? I don’t know if that’s actually a verb… As Jenny would say: “Cute!”

This arc seems interesting and its only Wednesday

Nates face in Panel 4 is weird

Mr Godfrey does everything

7/10 nate looks like he’s having a seizure

If Godfrey is good at softball, then why is her glove not soft? I mean, she should’ve played a lot in the past, right?

Why does it look like Nate is trying to kiss Arthur?

I hate to say this, but nate’s going down

She will destroy them and then laugh.

I think Nate and his team will win against the Teachers’ team since it hasn’t been mentioned that any other Teacher plays softball and Mrs. Godfrey might be rusty

I for some reason imagined Ms. Godfrey hitting the griddy after she won. I need to get off youtube shorts

But I mean, how long ago was college, she’s maybe just a little out of practice.

TROLOLOLOOLOLOLOL DID ANYONE NOTICE THE MISSPELLED PROBABLE!!!

My birthday!
