Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for August 27, 2013

Ms Godfrey doesn’t HAVE to yell at Nate at all. She chooses to do it because she enjoys bullying and harming children. Nate’s plan to ignore the verbal abuse is a good one. If you can’t beat ’em, ignore ’em.

So to twist a phrase, 35 years ago or so, you could have been Francis?

He can actually die if he gets covered in sand.

Yup, Francis….it’s like you just asked him to hand over his right arm…………and maybe the other one AND both legs TOO!! Glee! GLEE!!

FRANCIS RUNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In my opinion Nate knows how to push her buttons. And likes doing it. I’m a yeller too when I get mad but I’m not a mean person.

Oh, how he hates her!

Hee hee hee!

Nate should have knocked him with a book or something

You can get a gun for only $100?

One-room schoolhouse? Because in most schools, once you move on to the next grade, you don’t see that teacher again, except, perhaps, in the halls (with the possible exception of phys ed and unified arts teachers in MS and generally in HS, where you can see the same teachers for years if you’re taking classes in their expertise).

“Nate would use Francis’ book to hit him with.”

I didn’t say Nate wouldn’t do it, I just said it would be mighty cold. :-)

Poor Francis. He totally just wants to get Nate on the right track, but he doesn’t listen!

In panel 3 it looks like he’s about to cry.

personally, I completely agree with Francis.

DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF?!?!?! This is why Mrs. Godfrey yells at you! Francis is telling the truth here!!!

I mean, what’s wrong with that suggestion?

Francis is right, I think personally
