Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 26, 2024

Ah, yes. Bribery, my beloved.

Guess she’s not a fan of him

Nate should just ask for a Boxing Day discount

How many is a few, Nate?

You got this nate!

Who would want a bobblehead? Just save a little more money and buy the bowl

Although the shopper may see this as a cloying deal, I figure Nate is just trying to do what he can to get Daphne her present. After all, he is offering the bobblehead instead of begging for a discount like me might expect him to do.

Of course, I really hope that this arc doesn’t skip the ‘New Year’s Monopoly Game’, but I think it is still wholesome. There are a lot of reason why I find this arc nice, but as it is a comic, it is kind of stale.

It’s not as though I’m against the fact that Pierce is shaking up the comic a bit, it’s just that I prefer comics (and comics especially) to have a routine and sometimes even be trite. I just want the main idea that Nate is supposed to be egotistical, pre-mature sociopath to stick.

I know that Pierce is trying to make it seem like Nate is developing character, but he hasn’t aged so the idea of his personality changing is quite odd to me.

Anyways, the strip is a 6/10. Not Pierce’s best work but I’ve seen worse.

That’s the Al Roker bobblehead Nate bought for his dad in an earlier comic from 15 years ago, isn’t it?

6\10 fun callback to an old Christmas arc, just worried for nate’s chances here!

The wrap up is gonna be sappier than I can handle, that’s for sure.

who thinks there’s gonna be a kiss?

I don’t think he’ll be able to get the bowl

Why doesn’t he sell the bobblehead at klasic comics and use the money to buy the vase

Yikes! .bobbleheadhallDOTcom/collection-view/today-show-al-roker/

Why is Al Roker’s bobble head white?

Bribery with an Al Roker bobblehead? I’d like to see how this turns out.

Don’t you wonder what “Al” has on the network that’s kept him around this long … doing nothing well?

Come on sales lady, have a heart & give in. This is all about making sacrifices for true love!

Nate…..the salesman…….negotiator…..barter and trade!!!!

No way Nate thought that was actually going to work.

Probably not the best thing to give nate

Can’t be that legendary if I’ve never heard of him.

those flowers look a tiny bit dead

Shucks, I’d take it……always liked Al Roker: especially when he did a cameo appearance on a SEINFELD episode!……

Hope can get it!

lol this arc is good i still cant belive how pierce always has these new and creative ideas

How would Daphne feel if she found out Nate’s trying to scam for her?

She should hold out for the Wink Summers bobblehead

Now an Abraham Lincoln bobblehead doll – that would be interesting.

will he just buy it !!!!!!!??

Who’s Al?

merry late christmas btw

this arc has potential

Is this Kim’s mom?

But then it will only add to the price.

Nate, Nate, Nate.
