Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 20, 2023

Maybe Nate’s dad would get him a cat ?

Catastrophic

Nate would definitely never want to have a pet cat. And I certainly wouldn’t be allowed to take a lizard home because of… parents’ fear-based orders

8\10 I actually kinda like this gag, even if it’s totally unrealistic that no one’s got dogs XD

I like cats.

Father doesn’t want a dog.

Father says they smell,

And never sit when you say sit,

Or even when you yell.

And when you come home late at night

And there is ice and snow,

You have to go back out because

The dumb dog has to go.

Father doesn’t want a dog.

Father says they shed,

And always let the strangers in

And bark at friends instead,

And do disgraceful things on rugs,

And track mud on the floor,

And flop upon your bed at night

And snore their doggy snore.

Father doesn’t want a dog.

He’s making a mistake.

Because, more than a dog, I think

He will not want this snake.

The poem is really “Mother Doesn’t Want a Dog” by Judith Viorst.

A pet rock. And it likes to get really stoned…

People do NOT change their mind with facts and figures.

Dang… that’s cold…

Strip rating: 8/10 You’re gonna have to look for some more facts and figures, Nate.

(Also, I’ve come down with a case of stomach flu…)

At this point Nate, just give up ;)

After what happened yesterday on my comment, I’m not even going to bother putting any effort into today’s comment. But I’ll ask you guys this: why do u guys hate on BGFF1 so much? Bro’s a normal dude that hasn’t done anything wrong to u guys and is just minding his own business reading his favorite comic and half of u guys really hate him. Not trying to start a war like I did yesterday, just want to know.

And if everyone jumped off a bridge…

I have a great-great-grand-daughter of the original Boris The Spider hanging out at my place…..but don’t spread this around…….don’t want the autograph-hunters swarming around my front yard and driveway at all hours……

Bro everytime I got to someone’s house they have a dog this is just peirce being mean just let Nate have the dog this joke is getting old

Maybe Marty might let Nate get a fish as a pet

A lot of people I know have dogs. If Nate went to my school, he’d have a better result.

9/10 arc, happened to me too! :))Also the petition for Nate’s mum still stands. I decided to post the petition in the comments every single day until Lincoln does something about Nate’s mum.

How does no-one have any dogs

I know everything about Big Nate.

How is this even supposed to work? Peer pressure? You’re grasping at straws, Nate.

Living through the dog days of winter.

3/10 very unrealistic. I’d give it a better score but this only worsen’s Nate’s situation. Seriously Marty, I hate you.

Nate has realized maybe he doesn’t want to be peers with his peer group anymore.

To be fair, at least it is diverse!

Oh yeah vector is back baby

Go watch migration to see the new vector short mooned

I think an iguana could be the perfect pet for Nate.

A LIZARD FRIEND :O
