Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for June 01, 2023

In panel 1, Nate’s shorts are white

moment before diaster

Can we bring Nate and Daphne back? This arc is boring

Double Trouble.

Okay I actually like this joke, feels very classic Nate, and finally we get some escalation and joke variety!

8\10, Nate and Chad about to make people hate music

Soon will be the day that music appreciation dies

Listen to Chad, hello anyone home Nate?

Nice setlist selection!

They should try “Dark Star.” Fits with school days!

I guess Enslave the Mollusk is history

double down, or double up?

Nate’s trying to be cool and CUTE WITH CHAD.Wow, Nate, wow.But not a bad strip, its funny! 7/10

How bout they call Enslave the Mollusk we haven’t seen them in awhile

Dear god Ok everyone either aim a gun at your head or rip off your ears it will be a mercy compared to this

If I remember correctly, in the late 1950’s elementary schools taught music using ‘recorders’ and ‘Hot Cross Bun’ was a song to learn. Wow, I am old.

That will certainly make some people hot and cross.

Return of the trombone!!!

School is out! Pull the plug on this goofy storyline.

This is not very funny. I want Daphne back. They should get thee whole band back together if they want to have some decent music.

Why would you do this?

Strip rating: 6/10 What if he’s doing all this during a free period and there are classes going on?

As Nate reverts back to being Nate, this might be where Daphne realizes he’s not worth persuing. If she gets involved in helping him redirect toward more scholarly things, it’ll probably backfire. Or together they might plot the biggest end-of-school-year prank their town has ever seen.

This arc is a bit boring, but as a Band kid, I approve of it

In panel four, Chads left foot is through that girls chin.

Hot cross buns? What is this, Preschool?

Shouldn’t Nate be playing an accordion, or bagpipes?

Or maybe Peter Schickele’s slide tromboon, which combines the worst features of the trombone and bassoon, and ‘sounds like a dyspeptic rhinoceros f*rting into an aluminum trash barrel’, according to one who has played it (see http://classicalmusicguide.com/viewtopic.php?t=6577)

I want to see more nate&dafane :(

i saw a couple people asking for more nate and daphne. and while i agree we should see more of them, we just finished an arc about them guys. i wouldnt want a nate and daphne arc RIGHT AFTER we just got one. i personally just see this as a nice change or pace from the arc that just happened.

Rock on……

Ah yes. The song every musician learns to play when they begin. What a classic.

the color looks weird idek eeh this is kinda boring i wish peirce would go back to daily jokes it just makes the strip more lively ig 2/5 kinda boring

We’re nearing the end of the school year, a Prank Day storyline would be nice.

Chad, listen to your gut…

DUDES! I finally caught up to present day :O I have read every single big nate comic now over the course of like a year. Anyway i forgot if my username is chet or something else but you guys can call me sandwich

Well, I’m back to the burning pit of a comment section. What did I miss?

I’m back after about half a year. I’m actually pretty surprised of how optimistic and appreciative of Purse’s comics people have gotten! I’m proud of you, commenters.

wow it feels weird coming back to this site

orchestra next

Chad has one eyebrow raised on every panel he is in

This is the best arc ever! Lincoln – just ignore the negative nannys…

Happy Birthday Me…

This reminds me of that one YouTuber who cuts people’s hair in the school bathroom, supposedly.

Double Down? DIARY OF A WIMPY KID REFERENCE OMGMOGMOGMOGMOGMG I’m just kidding lol
