Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for March 14, 2023

Good luck Nate

Jeez. This might be the cringiest storyline to date.

My favorite band is Trivium. They have released 10 albums so far as well. I have a friend who is a total Swiftie. If Nate ends up enjoying Taylor Swift to the point where she becomes his favorite music artist, he might go the female pop music direction my friend is in, rather than my metal path.

Sadly, that’s true for me. I pretend to like Pink Floyd when I can’t get into their music. I know they’re a good band, but it’s just boring. Prog rock isn’t for me.

5/10 I have mixed feelings about this strip. Maybe because Taylor Swift had some decent stuff earlier in her catalog.

Nate, the bad part is that it isn’t going to work

I’m worried it might work

I bet this backfires and the only girl that notices him is Kim.

Yep.

Nate, I already know what’s gonna happen. You’re gonna be exposed in the end as a fraud, and your gonna shatter the trust of every girl in sixth grade, so I’d just quit while your ahead

ITS ME

HI

IM THE PROBLEM ITS ME

All he needs is one song because they’re all the same whining about a former boyfriend.

Hey, at least Nate is doing the actual research so that he’ll know what he’s talking about. Is this a life-change for our hero? Actually learning something new and (shudder) meaningful?

Get through is right.

Good luck with that, Nate.

These arcs are so predictable that even the characters know what’s going to happen

Well, at least he isn’t going in blindly pretending to be a fan and then knowing nothing about the actual music. You can tell he’s learned from the past

with every note, another brain cell dies. zombie – a swift zombie – but maybe as shallow as you are Nate you will find what you have always been looking for – a sugar momma – could happen, after all, it’s the comics

Even as a Swiftie myself, I’ll have to admit; some of her more recent songs turned out to be pretty mediocre compared to a song that she launched like 10 years ago…

Strip rating: 8/10 Nate is right. Nobody does that. And I like how Nate is just like: “Yup! I’m about to listen to 10 albums straight all day today!”

I’m sure he’s not gonna get too far.

If it gets you thru the door in a relationship, that’s fine. However, it’s everything else about you that will keep that relationship going. If there’s nothing else, Taylor Swift won’t be able to help….

There are times where I say something truly brillant

His expression from the second and third panels will become permanent somewhere around the third album as the aneurism sets in.

It’s not worth it, Nate…Nothing is worth this.

taylor swift is so old

Start with the most recent and stop when you get to the country music. Swifties are really more about her pop phase.

Also, a little trivia for y’all. Since I’m a Swiftie, it’s my RESPONSIBILITY to know which albums Nate will cover. So, here they are:

“Taylor Swift,” “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “1989,” “reputation,” “Lover,” “folklore,” “evermore,” and “Midnights.”

Few notes: This was ALL from my own memory of her discography. And this is also in the order that I made myself memorize this by: their release dates.

I don’t like this strip, Taylor swift is the most GARBAGE singer out there. And when I felt like I was an old cardiganUnder someone’s bedYou put me on and said I was your favorite?HOW DOES ANYONE THINK THIS IS GOOD?

He is nobocy. He has a point. Idk brain brokn today

Prediction: he’s gonna end up loving it lol

Honestly I think that Pink Floyd Rocks (buh doom chah). It’s really good music.

Taylor Swift is overrated

I hate Taylor Swift, come at me swifties.

Bruh he needs to listen to Taylor swift

That’s just sad

Teddy just has more aura
