Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 13, 2011
Transcript:
Having trouble finding something? Uh, no. That's okay. Oh, let me help you! We're reorganizing the store and everything's all willy-nilly! It's....um....*koff!* it's called "Bethany." Ah, the COMIC STRIP! We USED to shelve those treasuries in the "humor" section, but no more! TO THE TEEN ROMANCE AISLE! Cripes.

When I worked in the high school library, I would love to “have fun with” the students. They were so full of themselves it was fun to befuddle them. Like Kotter’s line: “This is a school, it’s not supposed to be fun.” or “There’s far too much happy in here.” And, my favourite: “Turn around, bend over, and kick yourself.”

Hopefully no one in the store knows Nate, or else they’ll think he reads Bethany………I wonder how that strip would look like.

Nate, I feel your pain. Why do stores do that? The Rite-Aid in my neighborhood in Boston did that, and I can’t find anything.

it just gets more humiliating!

If Nate would have ordered it from Amazon, he would have gotten a better deal with free-shipping sans humiliation.

Is “chipper” another term for “light in the loafers” or “sugar in his shoes”?

Chipper: One who wakes up singing in the morning and is annoyingly too perky for regular people. I call them Energiser Bunnies and, believe me, I’ve threatened to remove my husband’s batteries.

This won’t be complete without someone he knows witnessing his humiliation.
Gina, perhaps? She’ll be looking for the same thing!

What? No red ink on Nate’s face? That embarrasment would turn to deep purple. Somehow I feel someone will see him in that aisle and furthur his torture, like Gina??
