Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for November 03, 2023

Chester ?

Now I haven’t commented in a while but something tells me this is going to end with Chester taking half or most maybe even all of Nates candy as payment for getting it back from the 8th graders

I think we all could use a giant sidekick in our lives to get us out of sticky situations like Nate’s.

He’s going to want some

Chester’s gonna want payment for this, I know itEither he gets some candy from that, or maybe Nate could get beat up a little too xp

Not even 8th graders can argue with a Hulk-size 6th grader

eh kinda underwhelming for me… not sure why.

Yep, most of us nailed it!

Solid! 7\10

aw how sweet! called him a friend too! i love this arc

WOOO!

am I first?

Nate, don’t become a tyrant using Chester as your muscle while you go after others!

I have to give Chester his due credit for helping Nate out, he can be a good person sometimes

“FRIEND” Chester?? That’s a first

Chester is probably going to take the candy for himself

Well that’s an easy road.

Today is JPuzzleWhiz’s 68th birthday!! A Very Happy Birthday to you, Sir – it’s always a pleasure to see you commenting :)

Chester wants Nates candy. IF he wants candy he should trick or treat

They Misspelled Wumpus!

Karma. Next year those 8th graders will be H.S. freshmen. AKA new meat

Omg w Chester. Cool twist! I think then chester will probably beat up nate tmr or something like that

I wonder if Chester is one of those kids who has to shave every day…?

Actually, I take that back. That ended WAY too quickly, I suppose the arc will end tomorrow after all.

Chester for the win!!

Really, it was what all of us expecting anyway. Not suprised it wasn’t anyone else.

Poll alert! What is your favorite character?

for the first time since daphne, i am not disappointed with peirce

I’m wondering what costume Chester’s wearing

This kinda felt like a letdown for me. Course it was Chester! He literally did nothing to get it!It’s a pretty boring ending, but Big Nate is my favorite comic strip so I’m not complaining!

Not Chad. Not Daphne. Not a character with a twist or a joke. Just a bigger bully. Yawn.

YEAH!!!

…yeah, just as THAT was looking likely………NOW let’s wait for the other shoe to drop (……..and DON’T forget, Nate “helped” Chester pass his finals last year……)…….

Go Chester! Woo-hoo!

Peirce must’ve heard my plead or something, because Chester’s name has been cleared

Yup, that’s definitely a Chester redemption arc. Good job, Chester’s name is now clear

Chester should beat them up just to prove a point.

and then, of course, take some of Nate’s candy as payment (some being most).

This is different from the usual Halloween cool plus loving Chester keep it up peirce 7.8/10

LFG Chester FTW

9/10, whooooo hoooo! Chester helped! I wonder why, though.

Smart 8th graders. Everyone s terrified of Chester.

With Nate, there is usually a way…..

I feel like there will be a twist where chester takes the candy

Will we get to see what Chester looks like?

MWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA

I can see this going a lot of ways, but I have to wonder why he’s doing this for Nate.

yesss!

7.5/10

Most people here, except for me, thought it would be Chester. I’m wondering, why would Chester help Nate? Maybe he feels guilty for all the mean things he’s done to him. Perhaps he has changed his mind about Nate since Nate helped him with his finals last year. I would really be disappointed if Chester made Nate give him some of his candy. I hope Nate offers him some and Chester turns him down.

So what does Chester want for his service?

Aaaaaaand I just realized Chester’s only helping because HE wants to steal it too. Wonderful.

it was chester! this is kinda ainticlimatcic tho with the buildup for it 2/5

Nobody messes with Chester the Chesterfield!

Yep awesome strip today. Thanks Peirce.

live laugh love chester

Common chester W

Nate’s next move. Pass the bag to Chester for express all his genuine gratitude for his help.

Chester the Fist.

i think “blackface” is wrong on white guys, but is it okay in comics?

May we leave now sir? Without you massacring us?

So…Chester can staple Nate to the ceiling, but when he’s willing to get Nate’s candy back they all good? Asking for a friend

Wait, they’re friends?

Strip rating: 9/10 I low-key feel good for Nate, here. Don’t know why.

Aww Chester! I was hoping for Kim.

So, if you don’t have a big guy to speak for you, you’re lost. Wonderful message for the youth.

HIS FRIEND CHESTER.
