Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for July 10, 2024

This was very predictable

Coach John is going to give them a beating

And there it is!

At least they’re not blobs, coach!

Saw that coming a mile away.

Mystery solved

Where was Gandalf when you needed him, "Run, you fools!”

What if it’s just some rando old man who wants to give a beating for staring at him?

Look at Francis’s eyes in the third panel

Most calm coach john:

Wow… Arc idea: he loses his voice!

How fast can one run on hot sand? Begin!!

Just run, boys. It’s Summer Vacation, you’re off school grounds—He has no power here.

All of a sudden coach john is staring at a cop. ah sh—

I’d tell him to pound sand, you ain’t in school.

Now that’s a midpoint.

what’s with that big space above the comic?

“Pukes?” Is a teacher allowed to call students that?When was this written, cause that will get you fired and sued today!

Teddy doesn’t look worried that it’s him.

I think this is the best time for the boys to make a run

Sorry coach, it’s summer

The coach is a real jerk. The kids weren’t bothering him in the least they were just enjoying as day on the beach.

…and the moral of the story is: “RUN while you got the chance.”………..

Peirce tricked me oh and their dead

Coach John is A maniac

He has a lovely way with kids.

First time I’ve seen Nate’s hair like that (third panel). He also looks kinda like a cyclops.

They’re not in school. They should just ignore Coach John’s summons. It’s not like making him mad will make him treat them any worse once school is back in session.

They boutta be running wind sprints till the day they die

what are y’all’s thoughts on Wendy’s french fries?

Isn’t he like 60 at this point? Idk I don’t really go into big nate lore

more like making them sweat like a dish rag

C’mon, coach. Don’t ruin their day of fun in the sun.

Yep.

LOL

they’re cooked

Cue the ominous music.

Like many coaches/gym teachers. A thoroughgoing bully in need of meeting someone who doesn’t lime bullies and can do something, preferably physical AND legal, about it
