Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for January 29, 2024

Yeah, Nate has lost his mind

Like Teddy said in the last panel…

Another overdone arc

3\10

Oh, btw, DD is back. And…

We’re dating.

And I love her Always

And then before the next test, Sherman chews on a piece of newspaper that says “F”

Another bad arc.

I think the A means Another F

But the A is destroyed, and what comes AFTER the A is an F. You see?

Welp…another boring arc I guess.

Anyone find it weird we haven’t seen Daphne for a month?

hey guys. i’ve been reading big nate for years and i’ve wanted to review the strips for quite a while. i created this account 2 days ago but i wanted to wait until monday to start. so, yeah.

this one’s easily a 4/10. feels like yet another arc where nate is set up to fail, or something like that.

He probably is losing his mind.

A sherman arc hasn’t been used in a while lets see where this goes

7/10

4/10, I like Sherman but this is another omen arc, hope it gets better! Wordle answer: Movie!

Nate keeps looking for signs rather than making his own success

My guess: he will actually pass the math test

No, it means his chance of getting an A is destroyed.

Grass is a plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in a lawn and other places. Grass gets water from the roots in the ground. Grasses are monocotyledon, herbaceous plants.

The grasses include the “grass”, of the family Poaceae (also called Gramineae). Also sometimes it is used to include the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae). These three families are not closely related but belong to different clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style.

The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others.

Many grasses are short, but some grasses, like bamboo can grow very tall. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places, even if they are very cold or very dry. Several other plants that look similar but are not members of the grass family are also sometimes called grass; these include rushes, reeds, papyrus, and water chestnut.

Grasses are an important food for many animals, like deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars, and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows. Without grass, dirt can wash away into rivers (erosion).

Graminoids include some of the most versatile plant life-forms. They became widespread toward the end of the Cretaceous. Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths (silica stones inside grass leaves). Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, cold mountains and even intertidal habitats, and are now the most widespread plant type. Grass is a valuable source of food and energy for many animals.

I think this arc is going nowhere

Let’s see if Sherman can predict the future. That would be interesting.

Unless Nate studied enough, that ‘A’ is going to be an omen for “Awful.”

I’m with Teddy.

He’ll take all the luck he can get.

Here we go! Overall Rating: 3/10

I think the math test should be graded using numbers, not letters. That could be grounds for appeal.

M A G M A T E

5/10

NOO NOT ANOTHER REALLY GENERIC ARC

Ok this is a losing streak

A for absolutely garbage score!

Big Nate gives me so much nostalgia for when I used to read Garfield

….the “if I hit that sign/tree/memorial statue/maybe even Ellen with this snowball” was proving increasingly unreliable, so……..

Nate stop trusting stuff that’s bogus funny though 8/10

You are losing your mind Nate, in fact you lost your mind already!

hey guys, gals, and non-binary pals! these Sherman arcs are so overdone, but I’m just wondering if it will be better next week. here’s to hoping! anyways, I’ll rate it a general 4.5/10, have a cheez doodly day!

nuh uh, it means you WON’T get an A

a sign his iq is under 75
