Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 28, 2024

This arc better continue next week. We can’t leave off a cliffhanger

Finally, the fans of this ship can rest in peace now. They got their kiss. Thank you, Lincoln. Thank you :)

And the deal was sealed with a kiss!

Definitely worth the trouble of getting the bowl

Nate finally gets a kiss on the lips! It is well deserved!

YES!!! There we go! I know I said the small kiss when Daphne was leaving for summer camp was good enough, but I was wrong

We stay winning this Christmas season.

They’re like… eleven.

I love these two

10\10, do I even need to say why? Merry Christmas and a happy new year

SMERP?

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!

What sort of sound effect is “smerp”, no hate just saying.

Adorable!

W Rizz

That was definitely worth $34.60!

How romantic!

I KNEW IT

His first kiss?

Oh my that is soooo cute.

SOMEBODY put this on the heartwarming section on TV tropes! and also under the big darn kiss!

I told y’all something will happen!

Smerp?

WE WON. WE WOOOOONNNN!!!

Children. Not cool.

Now that is true love.

AWWWWWWW

this comic on my 13th birthday, now THAT’S A PRESENT! HAVE A GOOD ONE GUYS!

I LOVE THOSE TWO! This strip will keep me smiling for the rest of the day. :-)

What

“SMERP”? O.K., maybe I AM gettin’ old………

Kind of a dissapointing Christmas arc. It should’ve lasted 3 days.

So wonderful to see this! Nate you have outdone yourself!

“Smerp!’ Okay, that’s a new one!

Very nicely done, Mr. Peirce…

For all of Nate’s perceived faults, every once in a while, he says or does the right thing.

The “sparks” are a flying!!!!!

That is… sweet and disturbing.

I don’t think 6th graders should be… kissing… or dating, come to think of it.

Woo hoo money well spent

Awwwwwww

Never thought that Nate has rizz

YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

This is awesome!! After almost two years of waiting, this strip is worth it!

Nice quote by Nate in the third panel.

Peirce you just made my day and week and month

And flipping year

SMERP!

I love the relationship of Daphne and Nate, but to relieve me of my jumbled feelings, this is how I feel about their journey as a couple

I feel like Nate is a hopeless romantic. Or at least USED to be. Let me explain.Over the years, during of which Nate has been with multiple girls (Angie, Trudy, daisy, etc.)and it seems like he doesn’t really give it time to grow slowly from being fond of each other, then from time and time being together, they start to like each other.

Nate is easily smitten. Just as long as they notice him, someway or another, he will take that chance to project himself with his feelings, and usually, like most times, they don’t get it at first, then through them finding ways to hang out, they eventually date, then kiss within the first three weeks, but with Daphne, it’s a different story.

When they met, there was no clear sign of a relationship. Nate was trying to act smart, and Daphne was putting up with him. Then when they had the chance to be together as friends, Nate discovered he had feelings for her. Because later in their relationship (as friends), then Daphne was dropping Nate HINTS. HINTS are the correct way so far that have worked for Nate to get that she likes him TOO. That gives Nate time to prepare to tell Daphne that he likes her too

I will use the most recent development of their relationship as an example. When Daphne says stuff like “She’s only infatuated with you, she doesn’t really love you… like I do.”1. OMGGGGGGGGGG SO CUUUTEEEEEEE2. That gives Nate time to prepare to tell her he LOVES her.3. He is genuinely NERVOUS because he DOES NOT want to screw up.

But then when he tells her, something happens that didn’t happen in other relationships.THEY DON’T KISS! And it’s a GOOD thing!Relationships need space to grow and develop into something pure.

The best relationship in the series. 10/10.

YES! We’ve been waiting for 2 years for this moment!

I find it interesting that everyone is concerned about the kissing…when the first thing that struck me was NATE had the absolute perfect comeback to her question. The boy has learned a valuable lesson somewhere….great response.

So what? I was hoping for a sweet, romantic ending — and we got it!! Merry Christmas, late.

YOWZA!!!

Peirce better show up today or tomorrow because this arc is a good one

Nice

Aww — so sweet ♥♥

We’ll not since the Day of the Poem have I anticipated “The Kiss!”… SPLORCH!!

Awww…these onion ninjas :’-(

If I saw this strip 5 years ago, I would probably be fanboying like crazy

I am glad Nate finally had things go right for him

Well played Nate.

Merry Christmas, Nate. He saw the fireworks before New Year’s Eve.

If you can’t tell I’m happy that I will never kiss

awww

❤️

Nate shoots. He scores!

My girl got kissed by some rando when she was 7

w rizzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

DEMONNNN

And here I was convinced he’d break it the instant he got out of the store.

Smerp?

I can now die happily :)

I wonder what Daphne got Nate

Could’ve of been on new years eve but IM NOT COMPLANING

you three days late

“SPLORCH…!!”

THEY KISSED!

Crazy how after all this time they got their first kiss

i’m back. What’s the internet’s current state. haven’t been on in weeks

Its finally happened. Lets goo!

So. It’s still so nice, and I’d trade places with Nate anytime, any day.
