Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for August 30, 2017

How does Nate have ANY friends?

could be worse … could have used the pointy bits.

Nate is a bully.

Look at the past strips, his friends have done worse

Oh no, assault with a box of #2

pencils.

I know Francis is a geek but Nate doesn’t havta keep doing that!

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

even though its a comic, this is the most dysfunctional friendship i’ve ever seen

In real life, this would give him thrown out of the store and perhaps, arrested for assault and battery.

This happens in every school shopping strip

I got so tired of buying my son pencils and erasers last school year that I bought them in bulk. Now for at least a 2-3 years I won’t have to worry about buying him those but I still have to get him the rest of his supplies every year since they change the higher in grade level he gets.

Francis = TOTAAL GEEK

Great Nate, at least you’re out shopping, my school starts in 5 days!

Also, I go to staples to get my pens

I am amazed that Nate has any friends left.

Teddy would probably whack him, too

Always gets better than the last story arc like this.

Mr. Pierce, will you ever have a story line where Nate go’s out with Dee Dee? I know it probably won’t happen, but I just thought it might be an interesting story. Any way, thank you so much for an awesome comic strip. :):)

Violence does not equal humor. This was a comic fail for me.

beginning of the school year: 48 pack of pencils, full set of markers, 12 notebooks, 2 bindersmiddle of school year: 1 pencil you borrowed from your friend

Idk if anyone noticed I was gone last week, but I’ve decided to stop reading this strip. It’s not because of the comment section and it’s not really even the strips fault. I’ve just found that as this summer went I wasn’t enjoying reading the strip as much. So I took a break and then came back and looked at all the strips, none of which I found particularly amusing. So I then made the decision to stop reading the strip. But this may not be permanent. Maybe someday I’ll come back for nostalgia purposes but for now I don’t want to read the strip. I just wanted to let everyone know so it wasn’t left ambiguous like it has been left many times. Sorry for the long comment. And goodbye -Jimmer Fredette aka Carson.

As long as they weren’t a box of high-quality pencils, for example: Palomino Blackwing 602, I’m okay with it.

Now they’re broken pencils.

He should have used the sharp end.
