Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for May 15, 2014

Transcript:
Before I start my report Mrs. Godfrey, I'd like to remind you of Abe Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. At the ceremony that day, some guy named Edward Everett gave a speech that lasted two hours. Then Lincoln spoke for two minutes. Nobody remembers what the first dude said, while Lincoln's very short speech has become a total classic. Spoken like a kid whose 8-minute report is about 5 minutes short. So, to sum up: Length isn't everything. Just sayin'.

Length may not be everything, but quality is important, and I doubt your speech will have much of either.

Edward Everett? Nate should get an A+ for his knowledge of that fact alone.

If Nate spent half as much time on his assignments as on his excuses, he’d be an excellent student. But since he’s Nate, I agree with Surf Pirate.

actually, how are you suppose to make a report 8 minutes long? would pages be a better way to measure it?
