Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
I have an idea for a Big Nate arc! I’m sure many of you have heard of tardigrades (aka water bears or moss piglets) – the microscopic animals that have eight stubby little legs and can survive virtually anything in their cryptobiotic state. They can survive boiling water, temperatures as low as minus 270 degrees, ionising radiation up to about a thousand times the lethal dose for humans, and even the vacuum of outer space – among other things. Now, while most tardigrades are microscopic, some larger ones can be visible to the naked eye – so, in my arc, Nate and Teddy are in charge of a big tardigrade for a science project, and they amuse themselves throughout the week in testing its invulnerability. They drop it in corrosive acid, zap it with a Bunsen burner, stick it in the microwave, etc, etc, and each time the tardigrade survives unscathed, much to Nate and Teddy’s hyperactive delight. (They don’t actually want to kill the tardigrade. They’re just having fun with its super-resilience.) In the final strip of the arc, an angry Mrs Godfrey discovers the tardigrade, and as she happens to breathe over it, the tardigrade curls up and dies – since NOTHING can survive Mrs Godfrey’s breath.

I mean I get they couldn’t control their laughter, but I mean they deserved that.

Yeah okay this was less funny, I agree they had to stop laughing but Godfrey always rubs me the wrong way. 4\10.

Mrs. Godfrey is a fun killing machine. Also they didn’t really “deserve” it, as some people have said they do.
