Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 15, 2013

He must have ties to the Jurassic period then.

Even if you can (probably) use it – a word like “boringest” makes my brain turn off :(

I’ve resisted saying ‘it’.Now congratulate me.

Thank you for your self-control TripleT!!!

rerun

Rerun week

Mmm. Lots of guys have ties that are at least 40, that they never bothered to get rid of…..“my lucky tie”, e.g. Now, if one is often seen WEARING the ties to his job, then……………

I like the reruns!! Could be that they still strike me as “being funny”. I grew up under constant exposure to reruns on TV……this sort of programming (cue in “oh, here comes Darth Vader right now…SHUDDER!!” music here) was considered “part of the plan” while the media folks got R &R, negotiated with sponsors, planned new episodes of a series that looked like it could flourish for another season, negotiated with the often ever-swelling heads of “the players” (oh, it’s TO LAUGH!!) and monitored the rises and fall of their competition on other networks…….and stuff-like-that-there, as ’ol Huck Hound used to say!Nice that so much of the stuff remained funny even after ummm, eleventy-seven or so viewings….often over the course of many years! Haw! Snicker! Laugh! Chortle! Glee, mirth aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand MERRIMMENT!!!!!

His grandchildren are probably 40.

“And this is a wheel!”

To Mr Lincoln Peirce,

When is nate gonna get a new gf?

Poor Chad. He’s just too clueless.

Mr. Lincoln Peirce, if Nate’s personality is kind of autobiographical, then how did you come up with the idea of Teddy and Francis?

Chad,Chad,Chad. Hes probably a million years old. Then again, he was born during the hochline epoch, whatever THAT means. That’s next strip. Calling it.

Why do some complain about comic reruns? Everyone needs a break now and then.

Not even close Chad!

I get it but remember everyone needs vacation. We’ll survive the week I’m sure. :)

Back in the late ‘50s, Dallas had a school superintendent who was Jim Crow’s best friend – all deliberate and no speed. Someone suggested he should be well past retirement age and that might bring the system into the 20th century. A friend said, “That won’t work; back when he was born, they didn’t have birth certificates, but just wrote the details in the family Bible – and Sherman burned it.”

One of hte advantages of being old is that rerun strips are new to me. snort, chortle

HE was probably teaching in the ice age. isnt this a rerun?

my great grama isnt even as old as him!

Chad, his ties are from the DODO BIRD!

Sad chad.

maybe 40 hundred years old?

has any one else noticed this is one of the only strips where they imply that they don’t age?
