Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for March 30, 2023

this is just gonna end backfiring on both of them

What does this have to do with Gina wanting to seem more likable?

Take it or leave it, Nate. It won’t help Gina’s cause why she’s not liked.

Wow, who is Daphine? Maybe a character we’ll see once but never again?

I do like this arc, but I hope it leads to genuine character growth from Gina. Granted I doubt that’ll happen as that seems to be something Pierce just isn’t intrested in for.. anyone, but I can hope. IT’d be intresting to see Chad just be honest with rejecting her because of how she treats other people and have her forced to face that about herself. or more likely double down btu again, I can hope.

No kidding, Nate. Is Daphne just one of those quiet kids Nate finds attractive? And who says that Daphne will agree to the switch?

3/10 Why is this going on for more than a week? Peirce is stretching these things for miles.

I mean, awkward silence is kinda awkward.

Strip rating: 5/10 Will this be a three-week arc?

Daphne might as well be one of those characters.

The joke just isn’t that funny. I mean, you can kind of get it.

4/10, It’s kind of like the joke in my name. But no one here plays Zelda so they don’t understand it :(

Wait is Daphne the black haired chick from the books?

Finally a civil conversation between the two. Well as civil as it can get with these two.

That’s it? That’s… kind of a letdown.

BRO FOR HOW LONG HAS THIS ARC BEEN HAPPENING like first deedee was trying to help and then nate ruined that and now this

What will this even do for Gina? If Chad doesn’t like her she’s just not like able then? It makes no sense.

Oop, I think I can see where this is going… ;)

I thought it would be a better trade like a trade for a bag of cheez doodles

What if Nate falls in love with this Daphne person

Nate’s going to regret this if he accepts this deal. Unless…

A person who bareilly speaks who end up with a chatterbox as a lab partner… Either they’ll won’t tolerate each other or Gina is playing Cupid without knows that.

….silence is golden, GOLDEN….but his eyes still see…..O.K., Tremeloes, 1967………

wait this is not a fair deal nates not getting anything out of this plus if he dosen’t like you this will cause problems

they are doing the proposal because Gina wants to get together with chad because she likes chad. check out this big Nate comic at October 2nd Thru October 5th 2019

Chad gets hypnotized to not like Gina

I promise you will be amazed by what chad did in that comic

6/10

I wonder if Daphne will be a new crush?

okay this is getting dumb its so stretched out 0/5 not entertaining

Baby steps…..

I expect a positive change in the comments section… (inappropriate comments will be flagged, no questions asked, so don’t even think about it)

.

yes, Nate. You’ve made that very obvious.

pierce just keeps stretching out arcs that dont need to be stretched out

why the heck would nate want daphne as his partner?!

Hey. Most of you guys probably remember me as that annoying kid always insulting people in comment sections. I’d like to formally apologize for my ways because i was in 6th grade at that point and thought I was cool. I’ve changed now so please stop sending me hate replies because I feel bad already.

This is a little sus

Something tells me this is a trap, as Gina may use chad for her to become famous.

Decent gag tbh XD, though it’s weird how contradicted this gets later on! I mean, I wouldn’t say Daphne doesn’t have slight traces of shyness (as we shall see with her reactions to Craig and talking to Nate), but quiet? She will talk as much as Nate does in this arc!

Regardless, a decent 7/10 again, best mini-arc of this mega arc so far!

Also, I should add, last week’s arc was 28/60 if you add all the points, which kinda makes sense. Enough decent gags to make it below average, but still below average for sure.

Little did anyone know that this would turn into nates next girlfriend

Yeah, right. You hate silences. I get that a lot. A+. (Even though you interrupt people.)

This is the beginning of a new GIRLFRIEND for Nate!

SPOILER ALERT

I know how this ends I have read all the comics from here to the present (as of 11/06/2024)

Ah, so this is where he meets daphne

here we go…
