Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for August 14, 2012

Swing batta batta swing!

Just asking, how tall is Randy?

Also, is the coach of the baseball team the same guy for soccer and basketball? It looks like that.

The epic showdown between Chad and Randy!

I suspect we are about to discover hidden talent…

he is the best character chad is

Go, Chad!

Randy doesn’t have blonde hair! Isn’t it brown?

Hit Randy! Hit Randy!Hit Randy!

Bean ’im, Chad.

If you want the underdog to lose there’s always Peanuts.

Judging by Chad’s form, his fastball will have some zip on it. Must be from throwing from right field.

Chad’s last name is Applethwaite?

The plot thickens…

Chad’s got his front leg up like Juan Marichal. I don’t think Randy’s gonna see the ball as it blows by and obliterates the catcher’s mitt.

Didn’t Nate’s team win last year? Come on, Chad! Do it again, team!

Chad is gonna strike Randy out

Come on, Chad! You can do it! Remember, Nate has faith in you!

You can do it Chad! : )

Get out the brooms. I hear a lot of glass breaking!!!

what kind of animal did he pick?

Come On CHAD Strike him out or NO ICE CREAM!

I think calling him ‘Chubby’ pissed him off.

You can do it Chad!

Hope it’s a win!

Why is Randy blond?

Oooooo can’t wait for the pitch! It’ll knock his socks off! :D

He looks like a professional pitcher in that pose.

chad the impaler

holy crap. Chad is gonna flame that thing.

THE SUSPENSE!!!!!maybe chad will actually strike him out!i doubt it.

Can’t wait for tommorw.

Nice form Chad!

GO CHAD! Strike him out!!!

That’s right Chad, get mad and zing it right over the plate.

I.HATE.RANDY.

I like this and the next strip.

Cue suspenseful music
