Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for August 20, 2016
Transcript:
Mrs. Godfrey: What did you say? Nate: I...er...heh heh...nothing really. Mrs. Godfrey: You called me crazy! Nate: It was *koff* ...just an expression. Mrs. Godfrey: Here's another expression: You're ejected from this game! Teddy: Leave it to you to get detention during a little league game! Nate: oh, how I hate her.

Nate should have used the bat on her. XD God, I hate that character. Wish Pierce would kill her off or something.
Sojourner over 8 years ago
Seems to me like Pierce could have another adult stand up to the Teacher for her bad calls, in order to make the point that regardless of age or status, someone shouldn’t get away with cheating those who have little recourse against them.

This breaks my heart. How unfair.

Some folks get a little power and let it go to their heads. I remember a softball game where an ump called a ball that hit first base and bounced straight up in the air foul. And then immediately said that if anyone argued the call they would be ejected.

Where is the #&$^%@ coach?!
Tue Elung-Jensen over 8 years ago
She clearly never heard of a warning. Wether or not she got the power to pull him out of the game for something like that he should have been given a warning first – imo. Seems somewhat clear that she isn´t fit to be in that role, and I do hope the arc continues through next week and doesn´t just stop here with his streak being broken. Because Godfrey may be a “good” teacher, but with stuff like this she does need to be put down a peg or two.

She did it on purpose! She’s a blankety blank!

And ejecting someone from a Little League game is harsh. This is so bad.

I think when tomorrow’s Sunday comic comes out, I am going to be so mad at Lincoln if he doesn’t continue with this story on Monday. Who thinks this story should go on?
Knightman Premium Member over 8 years ago
I knew it!!! well Who is their coach? Lincoln you got some splaining to do!!!
big nate is awesome over 8 years ago
The real Little League World Series is going on right now and in my three years of watching, i’ve never seen someone get ejected.
kaystari Premium Member over 8 years ago
I hate her too! I would like justice against her some time. I guess we have to wait for “Prank day”
ZBot over 8 years ago
I Knew He would get a detention!
bignatefantic over 8 years ago
I knew Nate would say “Oh, how I hate her.” as seen in the last panel
Falco77 over 8 years ago
Might be for the best (in a sick and twisted way) – does Nate really want three to four at-bats with her as the home plate umpire?
zobbes over 8 years ago
Well, hopefully karma will go back to Godfrey here. This was a bad arc.
Gloria Fleming over 8 years ago
Don’t forget Nate had his streak on the line. Some other adult needs to stand up for Nate, she really does have it in for him. Sometimes in the class room he deserves it, but not always, but Nate needs to learn how to deal with this type of person, ’cause she is a real “type” of person he will deal with in his adult life.

But not if it had been against a man?

She’ll pay for this.

wow. Godfrey is the monster of unfairness

Yesterday Commander Video provided a link to the strip in 2006 where Mrs. Godfrey had her latest child. We never heard from any of her children again maybe like the Titan Cronus, she consumes her offspring. Would definitely explain her physique.

I think that coach should have stepped in and dealed with it
Dennett Premium Member over 8 years ago
She will be a lousy umpire for everyone. The next kid at bat will get shafted just like Nate did. Eventually it will all hit the fan and the coach will get involved.

Tue Elung-JensenAs with crying, there is no yellow card in baseball.
timmytohns over 8 years ago
There’s a fine line about being strict and just being an unfair a**hole, and Mrs. Godfrey just drove right through it.
JamesWJackson over 8 years ago
Time for the fans to react. Not just “kill the umpire” chants , but mean, malicious taunting. She needs to be driven off the field in tears.

Ok guys I’m back for good!
The Sinistral Bassist Premium Member over 8 years ago
It’s a one-note character that ceased being funny a long time ago. You know you’ve beaten it into the ground when people would actively celebrate her demise. Completely unsympathetic character in any way at this point.
K M over 8 years ago
You won’t get anywhere arguing balls and strikes. But her strike zone is atrocious. A ball at the eyes is a strike!? She needs glasses.
B Dawg over 8 years ago
Mrs Godfrey won’t know what to do with a bat in her hand
eyelovecomix over 8 years ago
Big nate has suddenly gotten stupid and repetitive
KitKatInc over 8 years ago
Not.Fair.

JPuzzleWhizUnfortunately, at this level, there are no “other umpires”, just the plate one.

BīgChungus over 2 years ago
Mrs.Godfrey is wrong in this situation. Nate didn’t call you crazy he asked if you are crazy.
Sokka the Great over 2 years ago
Mrs. Godfrey is lucky Nate didn’t say much more. I know I would have
Adam Barnett over 2 years ago
Ejected for THAT? She needs to develop a thicker skin if she’s going to continue being a sports official.

This arc proves how low Mrs Godfrey isHe asked if you’re crazy not calling you crazyalso Nate did not do it on purpose he did it out of impulse
