This one was kinda mid tbh, and. The whole arc in general isn’t good. Big Nate just doesn’t have the same old laughs. I think I’ll stick to the old ones. 4 1/2/10
….makes me think of that smarmy trombone that cut loose during the most heart-wrenching part of a rendition of “The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot” that I heard a couple of times around Xmas…….
Lowkey one of the funniest strips so far. A! The instrument gag got a bit boring because it was the same thing three times but I’m happy that we get a break from the Lab Duo.
When I was in elementary, I started singing baby shark in the hallway. In maybe about 5 seconds everyone in the hall was singing along. Even some of the teachers…… I miss elementary lol.

This is exactly like the time Mr Rosa stopped them from playing their band music, and he said “I can do without the rimshot.”

I know this joke has been used before but sad trombone IS funnier than a rimshot!
8\10.
Arc rating: 45\60, joint best so far, more due to consistency rather than hilarity, but idk I just kinda liked the gags! Simple but decent!

A mute would improve the sad sound feeling.

This joke was used before, but it was a rimshot instead of a sad trombone…
Strip rating: 8/10 Both jokes were pretty funny.

I think the principal missed a golden opportunity to encourage student participation and contribution into how the school operates…..

If you ask me, the sad trombone is the theme song for school.

That’s the perfect music theme for the principal.
