Transcript:
Dad: Great game, Nate! Wow, you were unstoppable! Nate: I was motivated. Nate: I was so mad that I didn't get a dog for Christmas, I turned all my frustration into domination! Dad: So... You didn't get something you wanted, and as a result, you performed exceptionally well! Dad: How fascinating! Nate: This conversation is taking an ugly turn.

Unfortunately something like that usually only works a little while. Until he starts turning that rage on to his dad.

For some reason the phrase, “No TV ’til you finish your homework”, comes to mind. I don’t think the motivation was to get me to perform exceptionally well, but it got me where I am today. Eternal optimist that I am, I do sense a dog in Nate’s future.

Funny how life works.
Good gravy, the kid wants a dog.
Mr. Wright, do the right thing and GET HIM ONE.
Nate, despite all his faults….
…deserves one.
But then again, what will ever happen to Spitsy?
Ah. Now I know why.

Ah, I’ve also been known to perform well at things when I’m angry about something. I understand you, Nate.

The thing is that Nate Not Having and Wanting a dog is an integral part of this comic. If Nate got a dog, it’d be like him moving to seventh grade, or Mrs. Godfrey getting fired, or his dad remarried… It’s why back in the 1990s, when Natehad a girlfriend, it didn’t last very long. Some things never change in comic strips.
Not that that’s a bad thing…

I use my anger to dominate people too. That’s how I beat the hell out of DIO. Actually, I still have PTSD from that fight, so I’ll try not to think about it.
