Awww this is nice. I feel like this is a rare instance where nate and his gf don t last only a couple months, but definately something more. Every single time it looked like strike 3 would happen, daphne and nate would just get more close. Hmmm? hopefully they never break up! 9/10 Strip!!
I hate to say it but I’m a tad disappointed. 3 weeks just for this? Are they ever getting that big kiss ? XD. However, this is still cute and Francis’ line was decently funny, so 8\10! You have fun, you two crazy kids!
In my opinion I didn’t like this arc (if it ends now) sure it was exciting to see what was gonna happen but it was a too long of a wait here. That’s only my opinion you can share yours to of you want
not what i was expecting, but nice. I noticed that this relationship is different. nate usually has 1 gf a decade. which usually lasts 7 months, this one started may 12, 2023. which is 18ish months, 1 and a half years! that’s alot more! (maybe this one’s permanent, {but their relationship comics won’t appear as much}I dont know)
Dee Dee Holloway was never one to be caught off guard. She was smart, confident, and more than a little sarcastic. But when she met Sheldon, she was thrown for a loop in a way she hadn’t expected.
It all started on an average day at the middle school. Dee Dee was walking with her friends, sitting at her usual spot at lunch, and dominating the school’s annual science fair with her brilliant projects. Everything was normal until a new student arrived.
“Hey, who’s that?” Dee Dee asked as she spotted the new kid walking through the hallway. He had messy brown hair, glasses, and a shy demeanor that was almost the opposite of her own.
“That’s Sheldon. He’s from the other side of town,” her friend, Jenny, said, pointing at the new kid. “I heard he’s into chess, computers, and all that geeky stuff.”
Dee Dee raised an eyebrow. “I like chess,” she muttered under her breath.
Curiosity piqued, Dee Dee found herself following the boy to the library after lunch. He was sitting at a table, head down in concentration over a chessboard. She couldn’t help but notice how deeply focused he was. She had to admit—he was kind of cute.
Without a word, Dee Dee slid into the seat across from him. “Hey, Sheldon,” she said nonchalantly.
He looked up, startled. “Uh, hey, you’re Dee Dee, right?”
“Yep,” Dee Dee smirked. “And you’re the new guy who thinks he’s the best at chess.”
Sheldon blinked, unsure of how to respond. “Uh… I mean, I play a lot. But I’m not the best. Just trying to get better.”
Dee Dee grinned. “Prove it. I’ll challenge you.”
It was a moment of spontaneity. Before she could stop herself, she set up the chessboard and took her seat.
Sheldon hesitated, but soon, his natural instincts took over. The game began, with Dee Dee’s sharp moves and Sheldon’s quiet yet strategic play. Neither of them spoke much, but the tension was palpable as they went head-to-head.
Honestly, I love the story, but we had this arc for too long, just to confirm together that they love each other. I mean, don’t they already know that?
5/10, just like BNFF1, disappointed, yet I am glad that this arc is most likely over. I do love how we have Daphne time, which we haven’t had in quite some time, hopefully we have a Daphne arc that isn’t related to the same strip for the past 3 weeks. Good strip though!

I think peirce just wanted to finally satisfy big Nate readers after years of watching Nate fail, he wanted to reward us,
But then I realized. That is what makes big Nate so fun to read.
But at least we can finally go to bed at night and say Nate is at peace. ( that probably sounded really corny)
But I least I know why this arc was made

Big Nate fanfic: Dee dee’s boyfriend
