Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for February 15, 2023

“He’s got his own TROPHY CASE!” That’s a response to expect from someone from who hasn’t won a trophy, except when he got one of those little-kid “champion” trophies: https://www.gocomics.com/bignate/2013/08/15

PS: YES!!! First comment!

Well, you have to accept these awards. You can’t just deny them. And look at him trying to be as humble as possible. What a nice dude.

7/10 OK, Nate kind of ruins it, but the “one wall” joke is pretty funny.

I have a trophy case for my gymnastics awards

bro threw out one of his participation trophies in a previous comic

I threw out my trophies when I moved to Florida. I have nowhere to display them. I took a photo of them on my mantle in my old house and then tossed them. I have TONS of medals, however and THOSE I’ve kept and even display. I have the photo of the trophies hung next to the medals. It’s enough. They are not Olympic level or anything that should have a trophy case.

This guy sounds like an athletic Arthur

OK, what do you play basketball for? Because when I play chess, I play to win.

Man he’s soooooooo nice and casual.darn Nate! Can’t say it enough

When I went to college, I threw away all my trophies as I just did not care about a bunch of second place trophies. Maybe if I had a single First place trophy…

Time to ride the bench, Nate.

Ugh. I really dislike it when people use the word, “whatnot”. Blech.

“It only takes up one wall.” Hate to break it to you, but you’re really bad at being modest.

Strip rating: 7/10 Craig’s last sentence was kinda funny. He’s trying to be modest.

It was just a matter of time: Craig was bound to utter the remark that makes Nate do that “Popeye-eye” thing……..

I think that’s enough for Nate

“Awards have three things to offer: cash, confidence, and bric-a-brac. But even though some of the bric-a-brac is handsome indeed, the only awards that have any significant value are the ones that come with cash.” – Stephen Sondheim

Again: The game entirely stops just for Nate and this kid talking.

Guy’s good. He can’t be great at everything Nate.. You are probably a better artist though….

Nate should get a trophy for being the “Biggest Tool” in the shed!

man this kid is so wholesome

Are Nate and Craig just going to stand there for the whole basketball game?

Nate needs to get over himself Craig’s a nice kid from what I’m seeing

This dude seems like such a nice guy
