Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for July 31, 2020

He LIVES in the couch.

jeez nate, uncle ted is living life RIGHT!

17 days left until online school starts

He never gets of the couch: Says to Marty while he is sitting

I’m Annoying #2“Great job, Francis!” said Nate. “It’s not all that surprising!” said Teddy. “After all, annoying nerds are super effective against dumb dragons!” “That makes no sense at all,” said Francis. “Still, I’m worried about this building.” Teddy said, “who cares! Now that we have the time machine, we can leave this dumb place!” Francis disagreed, “this tech is too complicated for me to work with.” “Then we should look inside the building!” Nate suggested. “Seems to be our only option,” said Francis.”Inside the building:“That’s odd,” said Francis, “It’s abandoned.” After wandering the place for a bit, Teddy discovered something. “A trap door!” yelled Teddy. But it was too late. Nate and Francis fell down the trap. “Hello there!” said a voice from behind Teddy. Teddy turned around and asked, “who are you?!” “My name is Razor!” yelled the man. “How would you like to strike a deal?” “A deal?” asked Teddy. “I’ll free your friends and send them back to the present time!” said Razor. “In exchange, you will become my servant and stay here forever. Teddy thought for a moment. He could either save himself, or save his 2 best friends.

as long as there is a tv in front of that couch, than uncle ted is doing nothing wrong

Good morning, afternoon, evening, night early readers! Um, untrue Marty. Again, their mom would be their closest living relative. I’m just saying Mr. Peirce, would it kill you to give us just one storyline with her? Please?

Have a great day!

In the second panel nate is so short, it doesnt even look like marty is looking at him

It would be bad if they had to live with uncle ted… (btw i’m sub to socksfor1

Name: Ted Wright.Description: Lazy Unicorn

I always thought the parents were divorced.

Oh, come on! Surely someone else can.

as long as marty doesnt die in the next 2 years, ellen can legally take care of nate

Think Ted would enjoy quarantine

So all you have to do is not die!

Uncle Ted isn’t Nate’s worst nightmare, that would be Mrs. Godfrey..

Uncle Ted has a life but just decides to do nothing with it.

All good points.

????

IF Uncle Ted is their closest living relative, that would imply that their mother is dead. That’s a good reason for her never appearing in the strip.

I can define living HE BREATHES NATE

This way the kids will make sure dad stays healthy.

where is the BNCSN?

GeT oFf ThE cHaIr Or ElSe I wIlL pUnCh YoU. Says uncle ted

Doesn’t Uncle Ted live in his parents’ basement? If so, that means the grandparents will be raising Nate and Ellen.

Well time to mention Nate’s mom.

I hope this arc will end with some sort of conversation about their mom

I’m sure any court would deem Uncle Ted unsuited for raising children.

Marty, do you have a brain?

not uncle ted!!!! what a tragedy!

You can’t realistically expect a 30-something man with an 8 year old’s mentality to raise them in your absence either, Marty……

Then have Uncle Ted move out! So they don’t have to care of so many children, or 2 and a man child.

Uncle Ted lives with Gramps and Grams, so they would live with them too.

Technically aren’t gram and gramps already taking care of a man child

Eid Mubarak!

I feel bad for Nate

Define ‘relative’. Nate and Ellen woudn’t consider him family, lol

Uncle Ted will probably die earlier than Marty

SPOILER ALERT: HE STILL ALIVE

I am leaving gocomics bye guys i will miss you

UNCLE TED is in his EIGHTIES so he is technically a NIGHTMARE because he makes LIVING COUCHES

ted is really clueless

4th panel made me lol

rimshot to uncle ted

Yeah Nate’s right, you’d need a FORKLIFT to get him off the couch.

You know, it wouldn’t be a very bad idea for them to raise Nate and Ellen. I mean, they are growing up, so they can take care of themselves, gram and gramps are very active, and aren’t really lazy like uncle Ted.

“Define LIVING.” That one got me rolling.

I thought Ted lived with Vern and Marge.
