Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for September 06, 2024

It is the first time seeing Daphne in a classroom with Nate

I don’t expect great things from any new school year.

Why is that a good thing?

It’s like an insult that’s also a compliment

Wait and see, Nate. There’s more to Mrs. Godfrey than you’d think.

Wait, that’s actually crazy.

Guess that makes things easier for them.

Mrs. Godfrey gets to advance a year as well?

PFFFFFFT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Mrs. Godfrey finally learned

yayyy daphnies sitting right in front of him!!!!!!!!

Glad daphne is back

Double Winner!!!!

Watch her still be disappointed.

He’s not going to try now, is he? His dad is numb and so is Mrs. Godfrey.

I like how Peirce chose Daphne instead of the usual Francis or teddy

That wry look on Daphne’s face implies she’s not completely a Miss Goody-Two-Shoes.

This is the first time Mrs Godfrey has given up on Nate finally

Poll: Whats your favorite pizza???

This seems like a good strip. Please Peirce add Shelia back

This is one of the best panels from the strip. Everyone is happy on so many different levels!

Why does Daphne have the Gina smirk?

At least she gets to sit next to Nate this year, though.

Who’s ready to play COD: Black Ops 6 open beta today?

Gee thanks, I think, Mrs. Godfrey. Like I haven’t suffered enough from the grand slam you hit against us this summer.

I remember this strip, but kinda phrased differently. it was about some assignment nate did, and they used this exact punchline.

wait is daphene supposed to be african american, mexican, indian, or some other race?

I’m glad this is a comic and not real life—saying that to ANY kid, let alone one as bright as Nate—is a crappy thing to do.

Daphne’s smirk is amazing

Lesson learned. She should quit while she’s ahead.

It’s finally happened.

Oh no…now hes really not going to try.

The secret to happiness is low expectations.

Can we all agree she’s a terrible teacher?

Hm. At least Mrs. Godfrey didn’t ask for great things that happened.

What happened to juice wrld?

anyone see minus one on Netflix?

Expect nothing and you’ll never be disappointed.

I would legitimately just drop the class at this point.

I’m afraid that having Daphne sitting in front him will become a distraction. They will pass each other a lot of notes.

The-the Matrix! I-It’s shattered! OH GOD!

no upsides, but also no downsides

I just realized this: If Mrs. Godfrey thinks expectations are disappointments waiting to happen, then her expectation of nothing from Nate should also be a disappointment waiting to happen— she just doesn’t realize it.

LMAOOOOOoo

Well, you gotta take what you can get!
