Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for May 19, 2023

Mr Rosa? Who’s next Ms. Clarke? We haven’t seen her in a long time

What does that even mean? Where does she stop and I begin? How is that a sign of an unhealthy relationship? For real, I don’t get it, if someone can explain I’d be really grateful.

6\10 for the gag being better than yesterday but I’m so confused, why are all the reactions so dang cynical? Buildup for something bad, or maybe Daphne rejecting all that by kissing Nate? Idk!

that line of text in between panels 3 and 4, could mean these strips are for an upcoming book in a few years!

Six-packs in an abstract painting?

Script Rating:- 4/10

Why settle for a 6-pack when you can have a keg?

Six-pack and and slicked back hair. Perhaps even a MULLET!!

Imma rate this strip 7/10 just because we are still going over the teachers and Nate talking about Daphne, but I sort of cant want for a kiss or something!

Didn’t he and Daphne say they were gonna let people figure out they were a couple?

Of course he is.

Strip rating: 2/10 He keeps talking about how he and Daphne will be great, but we haven’t seen Daphne in about a week.

Better then yesterday I guess, okay joke to

B+

When’s the last time we’ve seen Mr. Rosa?

Pretty bland, 7/10.

If you wonder why Daphne dumped Nate in the future, just go back to this comic and look in the 4th panel.

8/10 it was funny but them . . . ? Ya I don’t really think so.

6 pack. Most definitely abstract art…..

What is Nate’s line in panel 3 even supposed to mean?

Is this something people in relationships say? I’m single, I wouldn’t know.

I wonder if Nate will show the painting to Daphne. I thshe will like it.

Whatever happened to “Let’s let people find out?”

“You don’t know where she stops and I begin…” I don’t know why that sounds really sus to me…

i like the joke although i dont understand it it is part of the story but a daily joke 4/5 not bad pierce

Okay, Okay, this is one of those rare times where there’s not a lot of people who understand ( i have a very vague idea of what the gag means but its… not for this website. but i still don’t understand it) this joke is some what better than yesterdays but,pierce went back to big nates roots and threw an adult joke in there…interesting.

Overall Rating: 9/10 | Art Rating: 7.5/10| Punchline Rating: ??/10

Wow, it’s amazing how many people completely misunderstand this joke. When he says, “You don’t know where she stops and I begin,” he means emotionally. They’ve been merged into a single whole. What one wants, they both want. Disagreement is impossible because they are perfectly in sync.

How is he showing that in a painting? It’s a visual metaphor — not unusual in an abstract.

And no wonder Mr. Rosa is critical. That’s either an unsustainable dream or a completely toxic relationship. Take your pick. At the very least, it makes Nate look pathologically clingy.

Reminds me of RichandAmy in “Zits’” Good for Nate. Don’t make a wrong move, big guy. You got something happening here! (But I can’t help feeling a bit on edge, ’cause we all know Nate can overdo things real easily. . .

I want daphne and nate to go out for a while more, but I hope there relationship can just be in the background, or be in a few comics, but not be in the center of it, but not gone either

this arc is getting worse by the day

ngl I have no idea where this is going like huh??? but I’m glad he is having fun in art class

You don’t have six-pack abs and I don’t know what six-pack abs are?!
