I know stuff like this is how 6th grade boys act (trust me, I would know), but there’s a difference between screwing with Nate (like last strip) and literally talking behind his back about how long his relationship is gonna last.This is a bit too far.
i saw some people complain about teddy and francis being mean. i dont think people understand that pierce is trying to capture the way 6th graders act. like of course they’re gonna mean about it, they’re 6th graders. yeah its mean but its also realistic and in some way (atl east to me) its charming.
BUT…..
i personally think its too overdone now. in the past, teddy and francis were mean to nate. but they also SUPPORTED him too. now you see almost no support. i was cool with teddy and francis being mean to nate in the older strips because they would also show their support for him to balance it out.
but that support doesn’t show up much anymore and it makes them look like bad people (which they are not)
tell me this pierce, if nate is the narcissist who always gets in trouble. and teddy and francis are the nice guys, than how am i supposed to root for teddy and francis when they are just jerks to nate all the time.
but at the same time, this is exactly how normal 6th graders act so i dont know what to think of it
Some friends of my ex-wife bet each other we wouldn’t stay married for 6 months (at our wedding/reception). We made it 5 years, so they had the right idea, just not the right timing. Happily remarried now for over 25 years.
As of March 18 the following year, Daphne is getting “advice” that she should dump Nate. Hopefully they weather the storm and hang in there, if not they won’t make their 1 year anniversary.

His friends don’t have faith with him? Even though he had relationships that lasted longer?

Normally I would think like them. But in this case I hope these are the Famous last words and Nate and Daphne stick together for a long time.

They were so wrong. Nate and Daphne have been going out for a solid 10 months. And Daphne’s more happy then Anjie, Kelly, or Trudy.
