Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 22, 2017

Man, that kid really likes Rudolph. Look at his face of despair throughout the whole strip.

Little kids still believe in Santa and his reindeer, you know…

But Rudolph was always the reindeer Santa liked best because he was able to light the way with his nose (not a convincing Santa performance from School Picture Guy there). And plus, all nine reindeer are made-up anyways.

Way to ruin a kid’s imagination there, SPG. I can see why he never gets a permanent job, he’s not serious enough to keep one. XD

That’s not what Santa would say.

Oopsie! Be careful School Picture Guy!

Nate doesn’t seem to really have a role other than just standing there.

@OutCastSage9033 I think a safe way would be to delete the polls the next day (after the information is collected).

From that remark, you just ranking with us just hit and all-time low, PSG. Right down there with the heathens.

Also Santa’s not real kiddo

Having to much Christmas pop culture knowledge turns Santa into Scrooge

Don’t ruin the kid’s fantasies.

lol

SPG is a natural at making little kids cry.

Actually there were 10 total reindeer. School Picture Guy forgot Olive. She was the other reindeer.

…Says the man dressed like a Coca Cola commercial (his modern look, not Nash’s original)

When my brothers and I were little, we didn’t see mall Santas, we saw ones in less crowded places like cafes and tree farms.

Poll: Who’s your favorite GoComics Moderator?

This is why mall Santa’s are hit or miss. You might get some jolly fellow who loves kids or some picture taking, basement dwelling, guy, who is in it to crush kids dreams. I bet that SPG and Nate’s uncle would get along well.

The original reindeer names: Blitzem, Comet, Cupid, Dancer, Dasher, Dunder, Prancer, and Vixen.

I did not know that

And Baby Dragon is now GoComics User Banned For No Reason #4.

We have to keep in mind that this kid thinks he is actually santa

Hmmm…. where’s the strip for the 23rd?

Nate’s legs should be tired from the standing around.

Does anyone actually remember which now defunct department store did this? No cheating!

What a Grinch…

I was right. You WILL be on the naughty list

Kid’s face on the last panel is hilarious.

Smooth move Ex-Lax

Only School Picture Guy would know this!
