Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for May 20, 2024

Nate vs Godfrey? Interesting

This seems it is going to be a good arc, I bet the teachers will crush the students making Nate shut up

That’s enough motivation for Nate to practice.

I’m intrigued

Hope this leads to something.

Softball is a variant of baseball played with a larger ball and bat than baseball. It’s a popular recreational sport played by both men and women, often in organized leagues or casual games. Now, let’s dive into the debate: is softball fun?

Arguments For Softball Being Fun:

1. Social Aspect: Softball is a great way to meet new people and build friendships. Many communities have softball leagues, which provide a social environment for players to connect with each other.2. Low Barrier to Entry: Softball is relatively easy to learn, and you don’t need extensive experience or expensive equipment to get started. This makes it accessible to people of all ages and skill levels.3. Exercise and Physical Activity: Softball is a great way to get exercise and improve physical fitness, which can help reduce stress, boost mood, and increase overall health.4. Competition: For those who enjoy competition, softball offers a range of options, from casual games to competitive leagues and tournaments.5. Strategic Gameplay: Softball requires strategy, teamwork, and quick thinking, which can be engaging and exciting for players.

Arguments Against Softball Being Fun:

1. Physical Demands: Softball requires quick movements, jumping, and running, which can be challenging for those who are not physically fit or have mobility issues.2. Risk of Injury: Like any contact sport, softball carries a risk of injury, particularly for the head, shoulders, and knees.3. Time Commitment: Joining a softball league or playing regularly requires a significant time commitment, which can be challenging for those with busy schedules.4. Equipment Costs: While the initial cost of equipment is relatively low, regular maintenance and replacement costs can add up over time.Conclusion So, overall softball is a pretty fun game.

Sad moment for the Premier League. It is now officially a farmer’s league :( :( :( RIP former best league in the world.

This better not end like students vs teachers basketball game

Nate playing Softball? A glitch in the Matrix??

I wonder if the person opreating the score will be a student teacher or someone else who is not biased, The teachers might cheat

Is it slow pitch softball or fast pitch?

This is like the teachers versus students basketball game.

Softball? He won’t cook

Alot of the softball girls will help Nate win

I remember when all the teachers wore short shorts at the students vs teachers basketball game

I hope the kids win. I don’t want it going down the same road as the basketball one.

First basketball, and now softball? The basketball game was already toxic but now softball, this is gonna be interesting.

…speaking of “jumping through hoops”, I recall a certain student-teacher basketball game some years back……when it looked like the faculty was on the verge of winning, some panic ensued on the part of the student players. Nate hollered at his team mates"NO! It’s not over ‘til the fat lady sings!!" Seconds later, Mrs. Godfrey’s sinking an easy two from center court to cinch the game for the faculty, and Mrs. Godfrey sings “Nah nah NAH NAH, Nah nah NAH NAAAHHH, hey, HEEEEEYYYYY!” in Nate’s face.

Who Loves Big Nate?

I remember P.S. 38 did a students vs teachers basketball game (You can find this arc in Big Nate Makes the Grade)

I hope they beat them. BUT its ok to like Mr. Rosa

this seems familiar (flashbacks to kids vs teacher basketball game)

This arc looks like the most promising since the Charles Shultz one. Can’t wait

My elementary and high schools had student-teacher basketball games. I did play-by-play every year from second grade on. (I don’t remember the first year I swiped the microphone.) In twelfth grade, I was offered to be the announcer for the junior and varsity teams but I turned it down because I didn’t want to have anything to do with school outside school hours. I’ve often wondered about it, though.

What’s with all the people spamming to be the top comment?

This is a good strip.

This strip seems interesting.

Prank day is coming up!

What about Mr. Rosa?

Before reading todays strip, I was reading “Big Nate Makes the Grade” which has the teachers vs students basketball game.

Unique strip

8 out of 10 arc. This arc is fire.

Hmm… this is sounding awfully similar to the Teachers vs Students basketball game arc. Maybe the students will win this time! :D

The blood is in the water, and the shark named Nate is coming for it.

Dang Nate is very ruthless. Also I’m taking a break from commenting for the summer might pop in once and awhile

Sportsmanship is not dead.

This might be an interesting strip

does anyone remember Quincy and soldier from tf2?

You’re gonna wait along time for that fist bump from Dee Dee!

OOH! this arc could get interesting! I hope there will be Mrs. Godfrey humiliating Nate!

who remembers the teachers vs students volleyball game

Kinda the same as the teachers vs. students match, but we’ll see!

I feel dee dee but I also feel Nate

This is kinda a callback to the “Students VS. Teachers” Basketball game

What happened to all the posts

Whew! Its only Monday and this seems like an interesting arc.

Yes!!!

where’d that one guy go

I wish this comment section wasn’t filled with kids and boomers. Anyway, seen this arc. 3/10.

Didn’t we see something similar before, but it was a basketball game?

Que the dramatic trhombone music. DAN DAN DAN!!!
