Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for May 09, 2023

Pls let arc be over my the end of this month and let it by her being Nate’s girlfriend

Here we go..

Also, didn’t Daphne clearly see both of them fighting?

Here’s hoping Nate doesn’t wuss out again and she actually ends up liking him.

Well, turns out it was the fourth prediction, it’s a cliffhanger! And a pretty big one at that! Not sure how Nate doesn’t reveal it here, especially with how long the arc has been (Week 8 as of this writing). Then again, it feels (I know, but hear me out) a little rushed to do it like this. Shouldn’t they at least do it at her house after a little bit? Idk. The problem is that if Nate lies (which is totally possible) this could become needless drama. Really hard to call, but who knows, maybe Nate tells Daphne he was defending her (he sort of was) and this is a fake cliffhanger and we just move on to the next stage before he confesses? We’ll have to wait another long day again XD

8/10, not for any jokes or lines, just for the fact that I am GRIPPED by this cliffhanger, so I have to give points for that. Plus I do kinda like the drama of it, feels like a more serious strip than usual!

I just realized that if Nate and Daphne end up together, it will be because of Gina lol

Don’t be a coward Nate!

“About what?” Wrong pronoun.

I never intended to make so many prediction posts but here we are XD:

1. Nate tells a sort of truth and confesses after some time at Daphne’s house (what I hope for)

2. Nate tells the truth, drama

3. Nate lies, drama (what I’m afraid might happen)

4. Craig walks by

What do you think?

For once Nate, just stick up the truth!

Is Nate going to be direct, or hide is feelings in his retelling?

HERE WE GOO!!!!!!

Did not expect to go from a comedic principal strip to this.

And Daphne literally knew they had a fight from last Friday

Pep talk here nate…Don’t lie, (it’s not what the viewers want)…Don’t lie, just be honest.

Awww I can’t wait to see how he acts if he tells the truth.He’ll be like…“over you…”So sweet!

then the viewers eyes will turn to daphne thinking (girl don’t blow it, don’t friend zone him)

lol

OH Y E S LOOKS LIKE HES FINALLY GONNA [Tell her about his love] YiPpEe

A+

:/

Finally ’’ The Talk " is beginning

OK, depending on Daphne’s attitude, this could either end or further their relationship.

Btw if Pierce baits us I am actually gonna give the strip he baits us in an F tier I am not even joking :|

Now how will Nate describe this fight to Daphne

…Nate could hold it down to two words, just by way of getting a real discussion started here: “About you.”………

Crud.

Strip rating: 9/10 Why are questions like that so dramatic?

easy – about you. Craig said you were his and when i questioned it, he got violent.

he could then add.. i was more worried about you and the other girls in the school. Yes, i know you can ‘handle yourselves’ but.. you shouldn’t have to.

I am guessing tomorrow will be Nate saying “It’s a crush on someone.” with a cliffhanger saying “Who?”If it’s anything that progresses more than that, I’ll be pleasantly surprised. The week just started.

Tread very carefully with your description of the event. Don’t make it about Nate, it should be about defending Daphne’s right to choose.

About you…. maybe?

DAN DAN DAAANN!!! Nate needs to tell Daphne something. Will he be able to tell her the truth? I love how worried about Nate she looks in panel 1. Daphne is definitely interested in him, but maybe knowing that she was the reason why Craig attacked Nate will made her really sad.

predicting nate will confess to daphne tomorrow

This. is. IT.

Uh oh, Nate really has to speak up!

When is Dee Dee going to appear?

the plot thickens!

i doubt that they’re gonna date because they barley know eachother. but than again, nate dated kelly after only knowing her for a couple days. so idk

Oh, y’know, about the weather-

WHAT DO YOU THINK DAPHNE

I’m not exactly sure how Daphne will react to craig and Nate fighting over her.

Tell her the truth, Nate. Tell her you were defending her.

oof. Sorry ’bout that, Nate. Long recovery ahead.

Nate has to make a good choice here or things can go bad real quick. 9/10

About Craig being a total jerk, and Nate being a unwilling Ivanhoe.

Tell her Nate!! TELL HER!!

Didn’t Daphne see the fight?

This is the moment!

Ooooh. No punchline. Cliffhanger instead. Not sure I want Nate to change, though.

If she rejects him for this I will be pizzed off

In the 4th panel nate looks more like his 2010 self.

we’re gettin to it

ladies and gentlemen we got em

You

Confession time. A+
