Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for January 15, 2025

Delicate ecosystem? Uncle Ted might need some meds

Halo can be intense

EARLY COMMENT

I should try playing Halo sometime.

Looser!*

*intentionally misspelled as losers often do

That’s what happens when you spend too much time playing Halo, Uncle Ted.

I don’t really play Halo, but I listen to Shadow of Intent, an epic deathcore band whose name and first two albums are based on Halo

Ted sounds like my roommate Paul.

Bro uncle Ted’s haircut I just realised

I take it Doctor Smith from Lost in Space was his role model. “Nate, my dear boy, my back is a disaster area.”

What is Halo? A game or something?

Bro actually still plays that game. It’s okayish for some younger people, but he’s forty!

Peirce has some old references I swear XD Ted would be playing League of Legends, Genshin Impact, Marvel Rivals.

Yes Halo has a tendency to do that, but only to the characters in the game.

This is Ted.

He’s a lazy bum who mooches off his parents despite being a full-grown adult.

Don’t be like Ted.

bro was almost falling off the sofa playing halo

Nate, introduce your Uncle Ted to a nice quarter mile of ice…

Wimp

These Uncle Ted jokes are already old

Quite the slacker if you ask me

..hate to admit it, but given the out-of-shape-and= often-even-elderly/massive heart attack ratio associated with snow-shoveling, the Tedster probably SHOULDN’T even be shoveling snow……..Grandma should make him help with the dishes, dust around the house, clean the johns and stuff like that……..

pathetic… :L

Excuse…..not a good reason…..need to “work it out”!!!!!

I don’t get it

Say what

Of course muscles that are never used spasm. Ugh

tennis ball. good boy.

While playing halo, what? how does someone blow out their back playing a video game?

“When my body begins to reel from my physical labors, I make an occasional cheese dip.”

Not for nothing, but if what Ted described in Panel Three actually happened (of course I think he’s full of malarkey), he wouldn’t be standing, he’d be in a wheelchair.

Nobody cares.

Nate is somehow more mature than his uncle who is more than 3 times older than him.

Evict this man

Ted!….GET OUT!!!!

There’s something ironic about a snowflake shoveling the driveway.

Why would you break your back while playing halo? That is so weird.

Then I bet Ted is gonna have a hurt everything besides a hurt back.

Poll: What is your favorite Big Nate baseball team name?

If Halo gave Ted that much pain, playing DOOM Eternal or Warhammer 40k would absolutely kill him

you know I just want to meet Lincoln Peirce in Maine so bad

Uncle ted may need to be forced to the gym- that would be a funny strip arc, Nate forcing his uncle and Dad to work out and be their personal trainer

I feel like uncle ted is going to break his back if puts his back into it

Ted is just insufferable

He probably tried to rise slowly while singing the original theme, but then Marge walked in, and he was so embarrassed that he sat down so fast he blew his back out.

For someone with such an elaborate vocabulary, you feel like he’d be a more productive member of society.
