Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for August 03, 2003

Fire Ants!!

ROFL!!!NOW THAT WAS HILARIOUS!!! A desperate child, stripped nearly naked, screaming with an insane expression, now THAT wont look good for the public.

ROFL!!! LMAO !!! Now that’s entertainment. Awesome job, Mr. Peirce.

I thought Francis played catcher……….

Fire ants.

Tee hee hee

If School Picture Guy suddenly came and took a picture of him half naked and it was in the newspaper, Everyone’s gonna buy the paper

Nate would kill school picture guy if he did that

thank GOODNESS none of the ants got in his underwear!

Why does the ant have 2 legs?

One of my favorites

Yet another reason why I hate sports.

Why is Nate’s finger pointy in the panel that he got bit?

The ant in panel 1 looks like Z 4195 from Antz.

Teddy moved from left to right field in one strip???

Iconic!

Continued Story Arc:SPG stands up behind the bleachers, snapping some pictures of Nate for the newspaper. Nate runs as fast he can, all the way to the infield. He starts running back and forth behind the pitcher for a while screaming. The adults(including the umpire) and players watching start to laugh, as coach’s ears puff in anger. The batter gets ready to hit, and right after the pitcher throws the ball, Nate runs in the middle and gets smacked by the bats. The umpire finally stops the game. Now everyone sees Nate, passed out on the ground in his Jenny-themed underpants. He gets rushed to the hospital, and on the way, he eventually wakes up and slowly gets out of the car. He’s still very dizzy and tired, so with help, he gets walked to the hospital. Jenny notices him in his underwear with her face on them. Extremely disturbed, she runs to Sheila, saying what she saw. After half an hour, Nate gets out of the hospital with a big band-aid on his head, and small band-aids for the ant bites, and nothing to wear but his underwear, due to the doctor advising him to not put on any outer clothes because they could affect the ant bites. A couple days after staying home from school, Nate walks into school, with Francis and Teddy laughing at Nate. After his first couple classes roll by, he goes to the cafeteria for lunch. Nate passes by a group of girls who he tries flirting with, but they remind him that he has underwear with Jenny’s face on them. With his cheeks flushed in embarrassment, he sits with Teddy and Francis. They tell him he is now known as Nate “Underwear” Wright across the State’s little league.

I draw a triangle on the field.

This is why I do competitive swimming
