Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 20, 2013

Nate really shouldn’t hope for the current teachers to retire. The replacements could be a lot worse.

Hahaha, I can imagine what Mr. Galvin would say next…

Is he that bad that he hopes for him to …?

Er…What?!

Like isaiah said, Lincoln’s on vacation.

His nose is a little red, maybe he has a cold or there’s more than coffee in his coffee cup.

Nate shall not give up!

if galvin actually goes, well know 4 sure that pierce actually is going 2 quit big nate soon. I wondered that with jenny.

Why? Is Lincoln sick or something?

Good question Nate!

Cheez-louise, Nate: give this a rest already!! The funniest-looking character in this comic strip is not leaving anytime soon!! Or the other funny-looking ones either, for that matter!!

I wonder if there’s a color chart somewhere that can match the guy’s health to the shade of his nose.You know, like a mood ring.

Lincoln is fine. He’s just taking a break. He said in one of his comments. Cartoonists get 2 weeks break for every year.

I can relate. In school a person tends to have a favorite teacher, and one that seems should have retired long ago. My Mr. Gavin was a Mr Knowles, clearly in his 70’s. Since that was 40 years ago, I’m sure he has retired (expired) by now. He taught Math, not my favorite subject, but for all of that he was a decent teacher.

I wish he’d just retire already

Nate went pretty dark there…
