Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for September 20, 2012
Transcript:
Nate, class participation isn't just answering questions! It can be many different things! It might mean cooperating with your classmates. It might mean keeping your desk neat and tidy. It might mean offering to get a teacher a large decaf from the cafeteria. Two sugars, no cream. I hate myself.

Man, only Nate could complain about something like this. He asked for a way to get class participation without actually participating and Mrs. Godfrey gave it to him. She’s a lot nicer to him than she should be.

I think Nate’s nose just got two shades browner.

I also think Mrs. G likes to bug Nate.

Note Guys, it wasn’t THAT bad. Just the last panel. Though I agree. She made him HACKED

What the heck is the point of a “large decaf”? Might as well have water!

Oh, that is just plain evil. Mr. Pierce, how on Earth did you come up with a character like this???

Wo, Mrs. G.

That’s gotta be against school rules. Making a student buy her a coffee?
Shooter918 about 12 years ago
She’s either trusting, brave, or downright stupid … what’s to keep Nate from spitting in her coffee?(I don’t believe Nate to be THAT spiteful)
OldestandWisest about 12 years ago
If Mrs. Godfrey is the way she is and drinks decaff, Nate should thank his lucky stars that she doesn’t take her coffee straight!
Greg Johnston about 12 years ago
Having worked in education for the better part of two decades, I can say with confidence no teacher drinks DECAF! Mrs. G is just yanking Nate’s chain a bit – and giving him some out-of-room time should be a bonus.

She’ll have him shining her shoes next.

In Charlie Brown’s day he would volunteer to clean the chalkboard erasers. I guess today Nate could volunteer to, I don’t know, clean the whiteboard? Maybe clear cache and cookies? She didn’t say which teacher, take the coffee to Mr. Rosa.

I just noticed a big similarity between the background kids in Nate’s class, and the background kids in Agnes’ class. I wonder if they go to the same school.
Comic Minister Premium Member about 12 years ago
Sorry to hear that Nate.
hometownk Premium Member about 12 years ago
Back in the day, probably. Now? Gosh no. lol I always have had problems crystallising thoughts and the subject would be long gone before I could come up with the nswer I knew was always there.

I just paticvipate because I enjoy visiting with everyone. Remember: my friends live in my computer. Sigh. Such a sad life. That being said, I have salsa to make today. Mmm.

Straightening up your desk is class participation? This whole thing is sounding more and more like a scam. (Hey, maybe it’ll get her fired!)
orbenjawell Premium Member about 12 years ago
Great second panel, Lincoln!! You don’t do three-quarter, low-flying birds-eye views much, as your “bent” seems to be toward minimalism in the strip (well played, too!!).
This makes the G-Lady’s head look funny, viewed from behind as such…..come to think of it ALL of her looks funny, viewed from any angle! Haw! HAW!!
orbenjawell Premium Member about 12 years ago
Her hair looks like a black stocking cap with a white center strip! HILARIOUS!!
slypuma about 12 years ago
You are looking at this all wrong. He just got out of class. He should be happy! This trip might take a good 15 minutes.

Child slavery.
tbritt99 about 12 years ago
I’l LOVE an excuse to get out of class. Get to roam the halls, go to the cafeteria, goof a little on the way. Maybe grab a snack for myself. This is a reprieve Nate!
