Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for November 13, 2019

THAT FOURTH WALL…

In the cartoon world, people are recognized by the clothing, not the face..

Well, that answers my question from two days ago. I guess in the Big Nate world, wearing like in real life IS pretty weird.

That’s the thing, though. We always think of someone else as weird. And in that context, we’re all someone else to someone else.

teddy looks like a hippie lol

Wait, THAT’S TEDDY?!?!?!?!

Blame it all on Charlie Brown

Which explains why people in uniform all wear nametags.

Cartoon characters not only tend to wear the same clothes every day, but, in many instances, they never take them off! Take Piglet from Winnie-the-Pooh as an example: he even keeps his pink striped bodysuit on when he’s having a bath, and when he goes to bed at night, he slips his pajamas over it. The only time we see him without it is when he swaps identities with Pooh Bear in an episode of “The New Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh” called Luck Amok. Even then, it is revealed that he wears a white undershirt beneath his distinctive bodysuit.

What will Francis be like

wow, pretend I said something long about the 4th wall

For once, Nate is right!

I just realized that we haven’t had a Mr Rosa Strip in FOREVER

The fourth wall is starting to crack and if something doesn’t happen it’s going to shatter like a mirror when I look at it

It’s not just cartoon characters. So did the main characters in the 60’s tv show “Bonanza”. See #10 at this link: https://www.metv.com/lists/11-solid-gold-facts-about-bonanza.

Hope next week Teddy could wear his red shirt again

Nobody has every made eye contact in this comic. XD

This is not breaking the fourth wall, this is self-referential humour.

Bro

I had a student who wore the same red hoodie everyday of high school. The kids nicknamed him “Hoodie Boy.”

This is a story about a community where almost every family has a member with Prosopagnosia. And Ted has forgotten that in his insensitivity to those who suffer.

This is getting kinda weird XD

So funny that he totally got them mixed up!

Dee Dee’s back!

That’s tough

This isn’t breaking the fourth wall. They would be breaking the fourth wall if they said “We’re cartoon characters, of course we always wear the same thing!” This doesn’t mention them saying anything about them being in a cartoon world, only about them wearing a similar shirt.

Hey whos that guy next to Nate? and why is Nate calling him Teddy?

Hey, do you know what the fourth sounds like? CRUMBLE CRUMBLE
