Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for May 06, 2023

That is the truth

That sums it up pretty well

I feel like Mr Pierce want’s us to think of Craig as one of those “nice guy’s” that think just because they act nice in front of a girl they think they deserve her. it’s just really sad that people like this actually exist in the world as well.

I’m curious if this story will still continue

ugh, gotta wait to see what happens next week… i might be wrong, but the end of Big Nate could still happen.

Why is Craig like 1/2 foot taller than nate?

Good save, Dee Dee! Since Daphne saw the fight, I wonder she’s gonna think about it.

High five me dee dee!

Well, I guess none of us got it right! Nate and Craig nearly got into trouble, but it was Dee Dee that interfered and saved the day! With a little luck, Monday will have Daphne ask Nate if he’s okay and berate Craig, Tuesday would be the end of that, and we can FINALLY see the project these two are gonna work on!

After all the worry I had that Peirce would ruin this arc with something stupid or an unnecessary cliffhanger, he actually settled it well, and in a funny way! Dee Dee just walking up to Nichols and explaining it instead of the usual misunderstandings is a great meta gag! Plus the Dr. Phil reference is (at least to me) actually sort of funny!

8/10, not great enough to get a nine, but I like the joke and its execution, plus Dee Dee coming to the rescue!

Overall week rating: 44/60. That might be joint highest score yet, or at least close to it! Perhaps a little odd seeing as this wasn’t that funny of a week, but there were a few decent gags, plus the drama was palpable! Week 7 (The Week of Craig) is over, onto Week 8! Let’s hope it really delivers on Nate and Daphne and isn’t just more Craig stuff XD

Wow, ok so a teacher came a stopped it, and Dee Dee actually did something. Nice

A+ can’t wait for Monday, unless the Sunday strip connects to the arc which can sometimes happen

This arc feels like the novels

Dee Dee can be helpful and funny, but she is just weird

Nate’s “mostly normal person” has been set to “on” for an unusually long time this week.

Not only good, but accurate.

First comic strip I look up each and every time I come to Go comics.

Second is “Crabgrass.”

Resume padding: 6th grade edition.

Haha! Dee Dee is so funny. I thought this one was funny but I would have preferred Daphne coming up instead of Nichols and Dee Dee. 8/10 it was funny.

DEE DEE SAVES THE DAY!

So that’s why Dee Dee was standing there

Principal Nichols thinks: “Jeeze-Louise, THAT’S going to be a lot to write on two detention slips”…….

I was hoping no teachers would get involved in this, but I kinda saw this coming…

Strip rating: 9/10 I mean, Nate did explicitly tell you that Daphne didn’t really like you, so why didn’t you just give up?

Looks as though Craig got the worst of it – which is good!

Good thing that Nate had a witness who was willing to stay around and tell what she saw.

Craig is the worst and also b+ strip arc is A

There’s still a chance. Daphne, do the right thing.

Concise summary and explanation……

Thank you Dee Dee. Now let’s see what will be the consequences for Nate and how Daphne will react.

Dee Dee won’t be watching Dr. Phil for much longer, the show is going off the air at the end of the season.

I guess Dr. Phil can be useful sometimes

looks like nate won

Today is my birthday!

For those asking why Dee Dee was there, today’s strip is your answer.

Nate seems to have held up well.

Dee dee is my fav

Isn’t Dr. Phil for adults? I hate that show. A+

HEHE
