School Picture Guy is right

Gee whiz, SPG bought two tables worth of food

Do you guys know if Nate or anybody in the strip has mentioned School Picture Guy’s real name?

I’m guessing Santa doesn’t eat a lot of meat. But how do you explain his weight?

And I thought large people were supposed to be jolly.

I wonder if they will bring back the monopoly tradition

I like the storytelling in this one, feels like an episode of an actual big nate show! 8\10

SPG is the king of part time jobs!

…you’d think they’d give him bonus points for not needing padding in the costume. That’s not breaking character; that’s the ultimate in method acting.

I actually didn’t expect a Christmas Sunday strip, saying that Christmas Eve last year wasn’t related to Christmas. Interesting.

Spinning a wheel with everyone who commented/replied on Dec 20 to pick three people! Whoever it picks is out of the game! DAY TWO! Who’s out today? Let’s see:

Explorer Mantle

SPG must be axed from the strip.

Santa should be put on the naughty list by santa

PUTA westfly PUTA westfly ey , ey

I like the twist here, instead of Nate randomly finding School Picture Guy on accident, he specifically looks for him, only to not find him. The turns have tabled!

broke character indeed…..

And he’ll BREAK character until his wind breaks!!

….another Santa ……Busted!!!!

He’s in Santa’s Character. All Santa does is eat.

oof school picture guy broke his character and a fast.

BTW My 13th bday is in 6 days :D

Notice how School Picture Guy’s getting more attention then the other Santa.

this feels kinda copied. a few years ago, therre was an arc very similar to this. but instead of eating, he got demoted to an elf

How many jobs does school picture guy have?

What doesn’t SPG do?

Just played Santa at the local Eagle’s club yesterday. It went well. Man, that suit makes you hot. Maybe we should have don’t at the North Pole.

A big lost for the Santa’s industry.

School Picture Guy: the demon offspring of Ignatius J. Reilly and Myrna Minkoff.

Why does the kid in panel 3 look actually so familiar… I think he’s the other one of Miranda’s spies.

This is confirmation that “School Picture Guy” is actually his name, because the Mall Santa knew who Nate was talking about when he said it.

Wait for your shift, man! Be professional!

The dismayed kid in the last panel is a nice touch.

Can anyone figure out why Nate seems to worship this guy so much?

AHEM. Big Nate, 12/20/2015.

One day, we should learn School Picture Guy’s real name. I’m guessing its Norman.

Hey Doesn’t The Kid In The Last Panel In The Bottom Left Look Like Max?

….he’s “in his element”……leave him be. already…….

Nothing would make a better fit for Santa than SPG. Well, except for everybody.

you guys see that red headed kid in the last panel? That looks like max from max and the midknights!!!

“Broke character” is an understatement.
