Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 26, 2012

Maybe Nate will finally get a dog!

i hope everyone had a great christmas i know id id . and nate may be now as well

No colour? And Gramps says it so matter of factly, too. Let him have a dog. Looking after pets is a sacrifice parents make for their children. Pets give so much and ask for so little. Besides, they can be excellent entertainment. Like rapping on the wall and asking the dog “Who’s there?” Or a gob of peanut butter on the roof on its mouth.

1st, 2nd and 3rd; and nothing of import in any one of them.A statement of no importA meandering plea ANDAn echo of the strip!

Maybe the “colors-the-strip-crew” took off for Christmas day: thus 2-day’s “bleached-out” strip! Orrrrrrrrrrrrr…….lightning is striking twice!! Today’s not in color, AND Marty’s dad is weighing in, finally, on the dog-for-Christmas issue!!

what is wrong with a boy and his dog?

I vote that Nate gets a DOG.

Ahhh, black and white. I wish there was an option to see all the other BN comics in black and white, except sunday of course.

Also, there is nothing like a good Grandpa!

I must agree with Gramps this time.

@ Coolio Say What – I think you’d be better off joining a forum devoted to writing or cartooning than looking for help here. The commenters here, for the most part, are neither writers nor cartoonists.

Oh… No…

I think kalia should be 13 so she would have a motherly instinct to protect a younger child.

How about a goldfish?

It was just a suggestion. I didn’t mean it in a bad way. I think it’s great to have female cartoon characters.

WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????????

I think Nate deserves a dog! :)

YES! You go, Gramps!

spark bell that’s an excellent idea . I love seeing them in black and white . everyone should email go comics with the suggestion

Marty will say no no matter what happens!

Your not a slime ball! Your AWESOME! : )

GO GRAMPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone on gocomics needs to go hunting for the fist five years of big Nate. It started in 1992

You can always trust Gramps when you want something!GO GRAMPS!!!!

SO TRUE!!! Imagine? ;)

I mean that kids at my middle school call me a stupid girl. They know I’m not a girl, then I ask them a bunch of algebra questions. The say they are geniuses, but they claim algebra is not “real math”, so they do not know how to do it. Lamest excuse ever

On April fools day, a lot of comics artists swap comics for a day, like one year Jim Davis had the blondie cartoonist draw his April fools strip. I would like it if Lincoln hired Stephan pastis for April fools.

Then the crocs ate mrs godfrey

Why did everyone leave me

Oh yeah…we’re almost at 100 comments!

Agreed

23 of those comments are from this conversation

You counted them? I’m too lazy…but not lazy in school!

We already have 102 comments! I think this is the 6th time it happened!

My counter says 93 still

If you guys look at my profile, don’t belive the been a member since stuff. I was a member for one day before I forgot my password for several months

i love the internet

WHOA! I have amazon, yahoo, youtube, gmail, gocomics, and hotmail! I seem pathetic compared to you.

did you know that lincoln actually started big nate in late 1991 and he made like 10 comic strips

In 1991? I thought 1992…I guess I was wrong… anyhow maybe we should petition saying we want to read previous Big Nate strips!

Just an idea…

yeah! i have this software………

Which?

oh i also have poptropica (plus 1 month membership)

i have a software that can copy your signature but i guess ill just use “paint”

by the way how old are you?

I’m not 18 so I probably cant sign it…:(

hey, if nate can sign a petition to get wink summers back i think a 12 year old like me can too!!!

im in 7th by the way

nice, i have 20 medallions on poptrop

how many digits of PI do you know?

Thanks guys!
