Have a good day, Nate! Dad! i thought we agreed you'd have something more appropriate to say on the first day of school! Right, sorry. Let me grab my script. "Don't allow your unique brand of genius to be trampled by the man." Much better.

I wonder if Nate bribed his dad to say that…

It’s important (in a strange way) because we have to wake up in the middle of the night to be the first comment.

You’re probably right. “The Man” is of course, Douglas Dillman, first black President of the United States (at least in Irving Wallace’s novel and from what I hear, a terrible movie based on it.)

‘…neither a borrower or a lender be…’ That’s what I was expecting.

Since I’m usually one of the last posters on GoComics it’s always a riot to read the quibbling between posters. Come up with a good joke or pun being last, now that’s a challenge, and fun.Like maybe a reference to Easy Rider, where they chant, “The man is at the window” when a cop was looking at them. Da Man.

About a month ago Kimby the koala kept saying “first comment” even though other people had already commented. Kimby later said it had been a practical joke all along. : )

I should have wrote a script for my parents.

THE MAN usually meant the police……in a context of police “being evil” like the storm troopers in the Star Wars trilogy….you know, employed for the mission of trampling all free will among the “subject” peoples.
In NatesWorld, I frankly found the term backdated……but hey…..that’s like sometimes letting your “groovy!!” or “far out!!” occasionally slip!! Har! HAR!!

In Nate’s case, “The Man” is probably Mrs. Godfrey. She does look a bit mannish.
