Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for January 23, 2012

I’m excited for tomorrow!

Uhhmm, I thought Gina is the poster-child for sucking up, not Francis. Francis always strikes me as level-headed, does his work, is considerate of others, all-around nice-guy….you know: a square!!! So what’s wrong with this? Oh, right: the perfect foil for Nate, since 1991!! Haw! HAW!!

NATE MUST WIN

Keep an eye on Fran, Nate. He may get vengense today.

Sounds like the readers have more money riding on this than the Superbowl!

Nate MUST NOT lose the bet!!!As bad a student as he is he don’t deserve to GIVE PEDICURES TO GINA!!!!HE DON’T DESERVES IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He should ask Francis for advice.

There will be a dramatic/traumatic twist in ze end.

Nate, BE CAREFUL. DON’T JINX IT.

Don’t insult or put down your supporters!

Oh, I now have a funny feeling….

CAREFUL, NATE, CAREFUL!

Like Han Solo to Luke Skywalker – “Great, kid! Don’t get cocky!”

Nate, I’m pulling for you. Mrs. Godfrey, yes, she overreacts, but she is the boss. Gina is a good student, but not necessarily a nice person.

Nate, you are a good guy at heart and that is why I’m rooting for you to win.

Keep that good guy ethic at heart, and you’ll win – not every time, but when it counts the most.

Go, Nate, Go. I can hardly wait to read tomorrow’s strip, whether or not Nate wins or Gina wins.

But I really do hope that Nate wins. Nate has learned a lot of lessons. It’s time for Gina to shelve that malice and arrogance. Nate has shelved the malice and the arrogance, and by gum, it’s working.

Go, Nate, GO! DON’T SCREW IT UP! DON’T JINX IT!

J

Be careful Nate! Gina and the teachers might be on to you! If they find out about the bet you lose!

I have a ‘funny’ feeling about this… but I think Nate is going down…Nooooooo!

Slip on the ice, kid—take a fall, see the nurse and get excused for the day. A sprained wrist or ankle is a small price to pay for victory.

nate is a goner

I still stand by my prediction that Gina will do something to land them both in detention.

giver21 is right

of course Nate jinxes it – he’ll never win.just for once, I’d love to see Gina really taken down

nooooooooooooooooooooooo gina is slowly taking over francis’ brain.

Most politicians take Sucking 101 in college.

He’s goin’ down. Sooooo predictable.

It won’t surprise me if Lincoln makes this stretch all the way ’til Friday or saturday even…..in comic-strip land, you can bend and stretch one day any way you want. Haw! HAW!!

You’re doing good, Nate, just keep going carefully, carefully, carefully.

I feel like he’s walking on a rope and he’s about to fall!

nate instead of saying that be kind.

Nate’s gonna lose… I can feel it…

Yeah, you do look taller in that picture… ;^)

Why? Just why? There is no such thing as a nerd. Oh, and id people ever call you a nerd, just blame docter suess.

Cant believe thats francis life.

waaaaaaaaatttttttttttttttttttttttttt francis

nerd!

fun fact: if u inspect this strip and scroll, you can see the written version!
