Here’s to hoping that Daphne does indeed keep the sand dollar forever though I wouldn’t really count on it given Nate’s track record, I’m hoping that this is finally the relationship that sticks, permanently.
Also this might be a hot take, but Daphne not being in most arcs might be for the best because that means that this could be a longer term / permanent relationship. If so, good on Mr. Peirce for breaking the mind numbing formula of Nate simping / begging for girls and breaking up with girlfriends, it’s gotten old ages ago.
…..“41”….same mailbox both panels…he hand delivered it……makes sense…today’s “the day” (and besides he likely didn’t have any $$$$$ for a stamp either!)…………
That’s one thing I’ve noticed with Daphne: she’s a very simple girl; she doesn’t need the fanciest gifts or showy displays of affection. She’s just fine with a true expression of love, just like what Nate does here. His words and kindness is what means the most to her.
Her teddy bear and her loving expression is so cute too! I have a feeling she will keep this gift forever!! <3
Merry Christmas to everyone here- including Mr.Peirce! You hit this on out of the park!!

My heart was pounding. Daphne’s Doodlebug told me about this but I didn’t see it truly coming. This… This is beautiful and heartwarming. This…
This might be my favourite Big Nate strip (that isn’t a joke strip, you can have more than one favourite).
10\10. Merry Christmas to one and all, and may you all feel love!
