Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for January 14, 2025

Not every day you see someone turn down something sweet like brownies.

Go Gram! Teach Ted a lesson!

Doesn’t matter Ted ain’t doin it anyway

He didn’t even change his pants? Whyyy???

Lolllll

Naw that taught him a lesson

But not with the spatula

if I’m big nate, I would ask which spatula gram used to get the brownies

also I’ve never seen gram so angry

Oh my god, I didn’t expect that joke at all, that is one of the funniest punchlines in ages XDD uncle Ted really went too far with his rudeness too. Love his orange jacket BTW, makes me think of Kenny from South Park

I’d have paid money to see that spanking!

You deserved that. But you should’ve gotten a slap in the face.

Guess who’s birthday it is today? Yes, mine.

I wonder what Nate’s grandparents on his mum’s side are like.

Ted is one of three characters I just ..flat out don’t like. Unlike Kim or Coach John he’s not entirely out of date, I live with my parent as a grown man and contribute but Teds do exist. It’s more just…tired. His jokes are either he’s a nerd or a lazy jerk of one.

I don’t even know how he lasted that long in their house.

Oh, I have. But it was in the 60’s.

Spatula, wooden spoon – anything that gave her reach lol!

Never insult her baking skills!

You shoulda been slapped with that shovel you’re holding!!

“Your brownies are distressingly chewy.”

Ted’s face was found on a milk carton two weeks later.

I have a hard time believing that

well, it’s about time.

I don’t know how to feel about that.

And now you know why you should never criticize wrongfully of Grandma’s treats.

So the fat son is even too lazy to chew a brownie? And to think, people like this actually exist.

That spatula should have been used years ago…..

Fat boy reminds me of my brother, except Ted had hair.

Can’t imagine how the spanking went

Yea

Was NOT expecting that at 6:30 in the morning. Loved the punchline, so funny!!!!

He got Whuppified, Lol

Does anybody know what day it is when Nate is playing baseball, and he gets a blister, so he changes his grip and throws a knuckleball?

what uncle ted said in the last panel tho. xD

About time then

“Oh, Fortuna, you capricious sprite!”

“Mother doesn’t cook. She burns.”

—Ignatius J. Reilly

Uncle Ted is in shock. He’ll have half the driveway shoveled before he realizes what he is doing.

serves you right, now start shovel you lazy oaf. :D

… and it shows.

I got spanked by a salad fork when I was a kid, so JOIN THE UTENSIL GANG, TED!

Spatulas talk!!!!

….I’m surprised he even felt it with all the built-in extra padding back there……..

Hmmmmm I wonder if I can get my wife to spank me with a spatula

You’re never too old to be spanked my dad always said.

I’d say Ted could benefit from a few more beatings.

He’s so lazy, chewing is too much for him?

saying no to brownies is a sin

I like chewy brownies. That’s why I always go for the corner pieces.

That cut from panel 3 to 4 was hilarious! 8/10!!

Ted: “Your brownies are distressingly chewy.”

Gram: (eyes glow) “OMAE WA MOU SHINDEIRU”

Looks (last panel) like Ted is into the spatula spanking. I mean, he’s not smiling, but he does have a look like he’s lost in thought (of spatula spankings?).

On second thought, he always looks like that, so … never mind.

I hope Gram washed the spatula after the spanking…she probably needs a brand new one.

I believe he’s never been spanked with a spatula, I doubt he’s ever an an invite to a BDSM party.

Lucky she didn’t use the snow shovel on your but.

goofy strip for today

dang getting spanked with a metal spatula must hurt right?

Maybe if his mother had spanked him with the spatula a lot more when he was younger, he wouldn’t have turned into such a loser.

Why don’t they just kick Ted out at this point? He’s nothing but a pain in the butt.

At least, just make him get a job and pay rent if he’s going to continue to live in your house. The man is in his 40s.

Well there’s a first time for everything Ted

wow he kind derserved being spanked

To be honest with you Uncle Ted deserves it

She should’ve beat him with the shovel!

becoming uncle ted is my nightmare
