Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 23, 2024

I like how Daphne isn’t being “hint hint Nate”; she’s serious on wanting to save up to get it herself!

Nate better not think about stealing!

Is he about to steal?

NATE I’M BEGGING YOU NOT TO DO IT

I love the potential I’m seeing in this arc

Will Nate make a Christmas miracle happen?

Nah, Nate’s not about to steal it! His expression in the last panel speaks of his quiet joy in having found the perfect Christmas gift for Daphne.

Bet he’s gonna buy that for her.

Why do I have the feeling Nate will steal

Omg, this is gonna be so adorable!! I was hoping, but I didn’t expect the “gift for daphne” prediction to be true!

8\10, it’s not funny obviously but the premise gets a high score! Looks like we’re ending the year with a bang!

Also we’re finally seeing these two on a date (a shopping date), and not just at school or whatever

Bro Lincoln Pierce is going to make another “Big Nate Goes for Broke” After this arc. Except he will actually go broke.

You’ve got more money Nate. Haven’t you?

I hope nothing goes horribly wrong, this actually looks pretty promising

just 2 days away guys we can make it!

Spinning a wheel with all who commented/replied on December 20! Whoever it lands on is out! DAY THREE! These are the results:

OH GOD this is gonna be absolutely adorable isn’t it?

So … he steals the bowl, right?

Whoa, Nate actually takes a hint?

This is nice, Nate’s going to buy it for Daphne. Been a while since we have gotten a nice Nate and Daphne arc.Who else thinks Nate is going to get all of the money from his dad

He’s not going to have enough money I bet.

Uh oh, picking out patterns. I know where this could go.

Nate don’t do it.

I was stationed in Hawaii and went into a store and saw this nice tea set my mother would like. Only $25000. I got her a nice hanging wall cabinet for her knickknacks instead.

I hope he doesn’t try to steal it

Shoplifting is my first thought, but I believe Nate’s drawn better than that. He can afford that little bowl!

Do I sense an O. Henry situation?

She knows how to “bait” Nate!!!!!

Nate is not a thief and he would never steal Daphne’s Christmas Present!

I only wish that Nate’s wallet was as big as his heart.

….Nate, PLEASE don’t think that you’re going in there to try stealing it!……..

I like this already!

I’M so stupid, but just realized Daphne is Nate’s little red haired girl.

Why do I sense a “Gift of the Magi” homage coming?

OK, I see you Nate, I’m intrigued. He want to buy her a Christmas gift! Awwwwww!

the art style seems different for some reason

I can’t believe people are actually thinking Nate is going to steal the thing. What???

OK so I did want a gift arc so I glad it’s happening! This should be a cool wholesome week!

I feel like Nate’s finally gonna keep Daphine

Don’t screw it up, Nate.

bro Nate is so nice wow

or will he steal it????

Nate was actually paying attention!

Go for it, Nate! She was, after all, kind enough to give you an obvious hint.

Saving PENNIES? In THIS economy???…

I think he’s going to buy it and gift it to her on surprise

It looks like the beginning of a Christmas story.

Hey everyone. Y’all probably don’t know, but I am Average Joe. It wouldn’t let me back into my account for whatever reason, but, I’m leaving Big Nate. It just doesn’t speak to me anymore. Ta-ta.

Why doesn’t she check how much it is in the first place?

He is kind and generous. He is going in to buy it, if he doesn’t have enough money, he will earn it.

I like what he’s thinking.
