Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for September 03, 2016
Transcript:
Nate: Aw. There's a seagull over there with only one leg. That's sad. Nate: See how he can't keep up with the other gulls when they run along the sand? Poor guy. He's really struggling. Nate: But I'd trade places with him. I'd do it in a second. Francis: *Cue over-the-top anti-school rant* Nate: ...Because he doesn't have social studies with Mrs. Godfrey!!

Maybe you should pass the class and not have to repeat the 6th grade for 20+ years.

I wish today wasn’t Saturday, so this storyline could continue. It would be VERY interesting if somebody else from p.s.38, student or teacher, heard Nate say that.

The Godfrey thing is getting very old. Maybe develop a new character?

The seagull is most likely just resting on one leg, the other leg is just hidden in his feathers.

annette143NotMeVery few comics are chrolological. Gasoline Alley was the first, followed by For Better or For Worse. Most still stay in the same year with only the individual arcs moving with time. Some move for awhile, then stop (Blondie, which had the kids born and age until teens, then stop). And a few move and stop, move and stop. Different plot lines for different cartoonists. Get used to it, because that’s the way it is.

Nate, the seagull doesn’t have to go to school all together.

I like how this strip ironically sets up heartwarming emotional dialogue, only to cut away to an invective on school.

That seagull has two legs, Nate. He’s just trying to hustle food out of you. A pigeon did that to me at the zoo once. He was standing on one foot, and was hopping along like he had one leg. I threw it some food, and it picked it up and walked away!
