Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for November 18, 2023

Let’s hope tomorrow’s not another rerun

I wonder what Dee Dee’s story was ?

She wanted more action in the story than in the title.

There wasn’t a part for her in the movie adaptation.

It’s derivative, Nate…

My least favorite criticism, BTW…

She thought the storyline was a bit sluggish.

I wish no more reruns

JENNY! I CAN’T BELIEVE JENNY IS FINALLY IN! But why didn’t Nate even look at her? That IS kinda weird. No JENNY MLADY?…

…it wasn’t dramatic enough….but SHE always is……..

Why did Jenny just have to spawn out of nowhere

No one gives their classmates peer-reviewed papers outside of class. That is not normal.

At least, it’s not normal for me.

It may not be dramatic, but at least this strip is.

Plotting, action, cheap thrills and special effects aren’t drama. Emotion is drama.

Character drama is overrated. Unless it’s really, really good, my stance as a writer has always been that it has to have SOME reason to justify its own existence outside of itself. ESPECIALLY if its romantic character drama, which is more susceptible to being garbage.

You’re lucky it was Dee Dee and not Gina that got your story for review!

“I like stories to have a little more drama.”

Kind of fitting to have that come out of the mouth of a “drama queen”…!

7/10, what? I thought that kind of story would have some drama. I would love to read it!

Hopping on gocomics after a year or so feels so good

NNN is more than halfway over. Phew!

Ha! Chaos isn’t the same as drama. Some people, Nate, learn that the hard way!

Why do I have the feeling that the title is longer than the story?

Well, it’s no “Blood-Sucking Monkeys From West Mifflin, Pennsylvania.”

Probably meant a little more realistic Drama, meathead.

That is what you call a bad review.

Ladies and gentlemen, Jenny has entered the chat!
