Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 30, 2024

Finally, a Monopoly arc

I hate monopoly arcs, they are so boring so I am going to skip reading until next week so I hope you all have a great New Year everyone!

I don’t know who to feel sorry for: Ellen or the guys.

Oh bloody hell

this is gonna be a long week

Question i need to win a bet:

what are the fastest 3 eminem songs

plz answer so I don’t have to gift the battle pass

The monopoly arc used to be fun but got real stale over the years. So on one hand, I appreciate the attempt yo shake it up here.

But let’s be honest, Miranda? This is gonna be very one note.

3\10. At least tomorrow I get to share this years big nate appearance stats and the full amount of appearances some of the characters had!

If Nate doesn’t get the top hat, he gets to throw a tantrum

I was kinda hoping that Daphne would join them for a Monopoly game, just like Chad did a couple of years back

Not spending your New Year’s with your kid and instead giving them to a babysitter is sick work.

Nate has a sister? Since when? :P ;)

Dude not Miranda

Might be a good idea to have the game elsewhere, unless Ellen has relocated and the house has been disinfected and aired out.

I just realised, now that Nate’s in a stable relationship and Peirce doesn’t intend on breaking him up with Daphne, we won’t see Jenny as much.

Happy New Year’s Eve Eve!

Oh no.

Boys, buy up Boardwalk quickly as possible!!

I swear Nate’s gonna cheat again

Or maybe Miranda cheats and she wins

I’d probably like Miranda more as a character if she weren’t simply a bratty child archetype that very few people enjoy.

If she throws a tantrum, she’ll probably be behaving better than the winner does.

I’ll bet she’ll want to be the top hat, Nate’s favorite piece.

Ellen should’ve replaced Miranda here. It’s been a long time since we got to see her again.

Wow, I thought they ended the monopoly arcs years ago

She’s gonna flip the table, I’m calling it now.

Follow Han’s advise: “Let the wookiee win.”

….but in his heart, Nate considers this a couple of rungs up from having Artur over again….there’s that.

I hate this kid;

Interesting detail: Teddy isn’t wearing a coat, he’s got a vest in panel’s 1 and 2

We were this close to getting Ellen after an extinction of her from the strip. Now I think Peirce is making excuses to not show her.

She’s gonna cheat

……..but you don’t have too!!!!

I’m so glad they always have these monopoly games.

The best monopoly arc there was was the one at the end of 2014

I knew it!

you know what we need, Miranda vs Chester.

Awww…..I was hoping for a follow-up on that big kiss from Friday.

Let’s all get the flu for New Years!

Hey I Was Right There Is A Monopoly Arc This Week!

Aw great Miranda is in this arc.

Yay! A monopoly arc was there one last year?

Hey everyone, I want to let yall know I will be changing my name soon. (to Mr. GREEN BEAN) (I will keep my pfp for awhile, then I will change it.)

Uggggghhhhhh Miranda is almost as bad as Kim

Hardly anything about the kids in this strip seems plausible to me, given their supposed age group, but I don’t know if there’s anything more implausible than the notion that they would voluntarily play Monopoly.

Come on guys, even though I’ve never played Monopoly, it’s a Big Nate TRADITION and you need to stop complaining about the Monopoly arc so much.

Oh no

Hey i asked for this from a few days ago

When DID Ellen last appear in the strip?

leaving us on a cliffhanger from last arc okay…..

Uh-oh. This isn’t gonna end well.

Monopoly arcs are alright but I understand why the creator of the series does other things besides Monopoly for New Year’s.

oof that girls about to get savage real quick

Miranda and Monopoly is a new one.
