Who’s the wiser Arthur or grandparents we have infoArtur Pashkov (born June 22, 2001) is an exchange student from the Republic of Belarus and one of Nate’s most annoying rivals in his life. Artur is said to be very intelligent. Nate is annoyed with the fact that Jenny likes Artur and his ability to defeat him at chess, taking away his title of best player on the chess team. Artur is very nice to Nate and regards him as his best friend, and is generally unaware that Nate really hates him. Artur cannot speak English very well, which is why all the girls like him (what Nate thinks).Artur did come 2nd in the scout camp and got a telescope.In Big Nate: In the Zone, Artur becomes aware of Nate’s hatred towards him and leaves Enslave the Mollusk. However, near the end of the book, he and Nate work it out, which results in the two becoming official friends and Artur rejoining the band.
Coach John was the P.S. 38 gym teacher back in the day. He retired, but the school keeps bringing him back as a sub. He enjoys showing everyone the scars from all his knee surgeries. He is also not good with names (he calls Nate porcupine). He first appeared in July 5, 2001.
Coach Calhoun is the current gym teacher at P.S. 38. Whenever Coach Calhoun is not teaching Coach John takes over, much to the kids dismay. He is commonly called Coach and is a Coach for P.S. 38’s basketball and soccer teams. He also is a little league baseball Coach. He is often much nicer and was only mean to Nate once, in a sunday comic. Coach John may be his friend, but they have differences and Coach Calhoun usually gives kids a chance.
Salad????!!!!!
