Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 06, 2023

This is OK and all…but where’s Chad and Gina’s side of the arc?!

PS: First!

Gina and Chad? Keep reading; it’s coming up!

Nate is so blind and conceited to see Daphne’s fear of potentially failing this project BECAUSE Nate is her partner.

Strip rating: 2/10 I just want this arc to end now.

Is it just going to go like this forever? I don’t know. Maybe Gina will ask to switch back.

4/10: the joke is kind of funny, and yesterdays was funny too.

Reputation of being a C- ish student

2 things:1. Where the heck is Chad and Gina?2. Nate just let Daphne do all the work, your brain size is the size of a grain of rice. He only gets a big brain when something is in it for him or when he wants something.

Nate just let Daphne do the work so you get the good gradePS: where is Chad and Gina

…..in other words, lady, it’s all on you…….’course, you KNEW this already, which somewhat softens the blow…….who knows: by the end of this, her “mother hen” vibes might be kicking in and….and……and…..she & Nate could become (insert “Dragnet” theme opening chords here!): boyfriend/girlfriend?

Patience young Padawan

not in a good way Nate… :J

I would let her do my work

Hey, remember when this arc was about Gina wanting to seem more likable to get Chad to like her?

This might be the nicest conversation Nate has ever had with a girl who is not Dee Dee.

Daphne is NOT queit

Thank you…..

What happened to “Do you really want MY research to depend on YOUR project?”

I used to HATE “group” projects. It was always a choice between doing most of the work or getting a crappy grade. And I was always a fanatic about my grades so doing most of the work was the only option. The absolute worst was when I was in college and got put in a group with a MOTHER. She never showed up for the meetings and did almost none of the work because she was always too busy with the baby.

WHAT nate actually wants to do work???

Calvin and Hobbes looks different nowadays…

Well, give Nate credit for trying to pull his weight…

I want it to go over to Gina and Chad but that might not happen till next week cause it’s already Thursday

Modest

This should have been our first clue of the crush. Nate doesn’t want to try at school work! He doesn’t care about doing it equally! Boy was simpin’ hard XD.

That aside, this isn’t super funny, but the dynamic makes it oddly work. Daphne actually trying to be nice without ignoring Nate’s quirks is fresh, like I’ve said, and Nate is just being his classic self here. Plus, seeing Nate be nice is a massive upgrade! I don’t hate Nate like some commenters here, but I do wish he wasn’t ALWAYS being a jerk. So this is decent!

6/10, not funny, but not bad.

no

in my experience, they see my work is bad, so overnight they do all the work and delete my part and then I get a 0/40 or something because the teacher doesn’t care.

I think she’s worried about Nate making mistakes again. A.
