Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for November 05, 2021

You tried my man

Good joke?

WAIT NO THIS IS SOMETHING I’VE ALWAYS WONDERED!WHY IS IT SOCIAL STUDIES?? THEY’RE JUST LEARNING HISTORY

Got to keep trying right?

Yeah why is it called “social studies”? It has nothing to do with improving social skills or something. THAT is so messed up!

When I was in school, history was history and social studies was about present-day social studies. Very different classes.

Yeah, I always wondered that!

Also, I don’t know a single thing about American history, mainly because I’m from Australia.

5/10 Nate, just study.

Learning is the side effect of education. Learning how to learn is the main purpose.

¿Ok I don’t get this?

When did u get your first phone?

Because social studies classes can include things besides history (like government).

Sheesh. This arc is seriously trying to drag itself out by making it quite clear that Nate hates Social Studies. Anyone who reads Big Nate already knows this.

This arc STIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINKS

Just do your homework Nate, you are no Danae from Non Sequitur.

Can’t blame Nate for not wanting to talk about the war of 1812. Kind of hard to admit that Canada, invaded the American capital and set fire to the White House. In all fairness it was a fight to a draw and Canada gave back the conquered territory at the end of the war.

Isn’t it kinda weird how people are more interested in the comments than the comic?

It used to include Geography and Civics. Which they really should start teaching again, since it would be more useful than learning about the Habsburgs.

In high school Social Studies is renamed to History

Ive got an idea! What if Mr. Godfrey is in the middle of yelling at nate and the principal walks in and gets her in trouble.

no offense to Mr. Lincoln but END THE ARC

Look, Nate, you’re just digging a deeper hole for yourself.

never good when Mrs. Godfrey says, “bad news.”

That is messed up. Although adults DO make kids do stuff they don’t want to do all the time. It feels kinda unfair.

My story PART 2

The battle of the century begins…

Spitsy: Nou

Mrs.Godfrey: Oof i lose

THE END im lazy

But then Shrek snaps everything out of existence

The end

Question: which characters in big Nate do you like more? The kids, the parents/adults or the teachers.

Sorry, Nate, but you cannot get out of this one.

Social Studies includes the history of more than one civilization, just in case anybody was wondering.

another plan foiled

This arc hasn’t gotten anywhere, Peirce is just using it to make a bunch of stale jokes.

Rating for strip:7.5/10

They abounded the mental health arc. Thank God

i don’t get this strip

History: What happened? (“Just the facts, ma’am.”)

Social Studies: How did what happened go on to influence other parts of society? (“The defendant was found guilty and was sentenced to 5 years in the state penitentiary.”)

And yes, I used to watch Dragnet all the time.

Nate, just earned an F for the first quarter of class.

The War of 1812 is pretty interesting honestly.

Is it just me or Big Nate is no longer funny (or interesting)?

Sorry Pierce, I hope I did not offend you ;-;

This arc is kinda getting old, glad it’s almost over.

She meant: For NATE, it’s bad news……consider, if you will, Nate’s track record in Social Studies class (since 1991!!). Oh, and we don’t have to talk about his t.r. in Math and Science class either…..IF we don’t want to…….

lol

Am I banned

well played Nate well played * clap clap clap *

ohhhh, social studies is history. history’s not that bad.

how to tell if someone liked their own comment

Mrs. Godfrey is unfair here. Why, Godfrey?

The Constitution doesn’t apply in school. What ever happened to the pursuit of happiness?

Hypocrite.
