Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for February 12, 2022

Imagine

Maybe Mr. Applewhite (Chad’s dad) should of been working as a chimney sweeper instead of accountant

This is enough to put any man off being a chimney sweep: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimney_sweeps%27_carcinoma

yo is it just me or deedee just got a bit fat?

If Chad’s dad is built like Chad, I can understand the problem.

Chad’s dad had a thing for Dick Van Dyke.

Chim chim aree Chad chim chim aree

Good thing Chad’s dad didn’t become a chimney sweep; cancer of the scrotum is no laughing matter.

true

I am wondering when I look at Chad if he takes after his dad physically. If so maybe that is why his dad is not a chimney sweep and if so that is why Chad’s dad is so sad all the time. js

by the way, I did know a happy accountant. worked with him at the same company for several years. course he did like his adult beverage – a lot – so maybe that was why he was a happy accountant?!

I wouldn’t want to be a chimney sweepAll black from head to foot/

From climbing in them chimneysAnd cleaning out that soot./

With a broom and ladder and pail,

The darkened walls I scale -

And far..and high…I see a patch of sky.I’d rather be the gypsy

Whose camped at the edge of town -

The one who has the dancing bear

That follows him around.And he lifts his big foot up;

He puts his big foot down

And bows…and twirls…

And dances ’round and ’round.

If you love being on a roof and don’t love numbers, it’s a long day being an accountant

Chad has such a depressing family life… it’s amazing how optimistic he is.

We all have dreams about our futures and sometimes regrets about careers and paths we chose. I was lucky enough to have had four different careers in my life that I thoroughly enjoyed doing……

How do you want to be a low-education job and become a high-education job?

Accounting is a recession/depression proof career. Corporations and rich people will always want to know all about their money know matter what’s happening to their money. Steady. But soul numbingly boring.

Man wonder if chads dad has ever seen Santa

Chim chiminey chim chiminey chim chim cher-ee

A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be

Chim chiminey chim chiminey chim chim cher-oo

Good luck will rub off when I shake hands with you

Invention of the air guitar caused bands to spread into homes across the world.

I feel bad for his dad

And HELLO Lore!

Mine was a drunk, 24/7!

Alas, sometimes opportunity only knocks once…………

Does Chad’s dad talk in a fake Cockney accent?

I would really love it if there was a comic with Nate’s Mom back, Mr. Peirce.

I’m pretty sure chimney sweeps aren’t a thing these days, that used to be a career back in the 1800’s

That’s just sad. Although, if Chad’s dad was a chimney sweep, he would be using the shower more, and the others would shower less.

sorry I’m a day late!! 6/10

Chad Applewhite’s father could have been a professional consultant on the movie set of Mary Poppins. Chimney sweeps suffered from respiratory problems when they reamed out the chimneys of soot with those giant long handled toothbrush pipe cleaners.

Goodbye for a while I’m gonna step away from the drama and take a break goodbye peeps and I’ll eat some wings for ya

Are chimney sweeps still a thing!

rare chad’s dad mention. i thought bro ain’t have parents still wit him
