Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for January 24, 2012

He finally broke. Now it’s of to the funny farm.

I see what you mean. Today’s episode was what… a 20 second moment? Frankly, this arc could go on for weeks. Perhaps Lincoln P has a latent contempt for his fans… a story arc with-out could drive us all mad…

As I said on Saturday or so, but with more emphasis: KEEP IT TOGETHER, DUDE, KEEP IT TOGETHER!!!

Awesome. I have a feeling Nate throws the bet because he decides it’s not worth it to raise the expectations of his behavior. He’s in a no-win situation now.

Don’t Panic!!!!

Let’s go, Nate!

Knowing Gina, she might make Nate do horrible things like go up to Artur and say he’s a better chess player, or make Nate throw out a bag of Cheez Doodles or an issue of Femme Fatality.

Nate slipped a cog…

Uh does she not recall what happened when Francis hypnotized Nate to being proper? How long did that last? Something big is going to happen!

Tell the teacher he is working on it, and if she would be so kind as to cut him a little slack if he starts to go back to his old ways, he will meet her half way and try to improve. She should buy that for a week or two. Mean time he can be content with conning Ms. Godfrey.

GO LINCOLN!!! Sudden death overtime!! Meanwhile, back at the………Nate is, not unlike Leonard (Pvt. Gomer Pyle) in FULL METAL JACKET, succumbing to meltdown under the efforts to be a “model soldier”. Haw! HAW!!

Marcus: Come ON! WIN, Nate! Or face my bazooka!

Chibi-Robo: Why…

Looks like he’s going to snap!

Love Nate’s look in the last panel

This is a terrific storyline. Some of the above commenters need to learn some patience.

Perhaps Nate can enter the world records as the youngest person to have a stroke?!

next thing you know she’s gonna ask him to clap out the chalkboard erasers

nate must win! gina has enough wins throughout the strip

NATE….. remember, it’s either this or you are cleaning Gina’s toe gunk. GO NATE GO! Mr. Pierce, your moral rights are reserved, but keep in mind that Harry got to kiss Cho. This storyline is what is giving me reason to wake up in the morning. Nate, Mrs. Godfrey is NOT the only one who is thrilled with your good behaviour. Know this.

Waiting.. and hoping for Nate. Go Nate!!!

One thing’s fer shure: he’s downright “Popeye-eyed” right now, with a gloopy smirk on to heighten that effect! This could only get more ugly!! Haw! HAW!!

is he gonna get detention for making that face at Mrs. G to long?

teachers’ pet now wants to run away and find a new owner! (One who feeds cheese doodles?)

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………(I’m paralyzed too!!!!!)
