Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 22, 2023

This is a great arc tbh

Nate and his detentions

Why do I feel like Craig will appear more

After this comic, here are some likely scenarios: 1. She turns Nate down gently 2. She actually likes Nate 3. Nate loses feelings but it turns out she likes nate

shut up, Nate

It’s entertaining to see where this has all ended up

Another week done, another week awaits

B tier

They might go on 1 date and then shes gone

Well this is going somewhere (I hope)…

This Daphne arc seems kind of similar to the Daisy arc we had 6 years ago

Craig is Daphne’s cousin

I wonder if Craig and Daphne have a similar relationship to Nate and Jenny: one-sided lovebirds.

smooth, daphne

8.5/10

I don’t understand why everybody has been so critical of Pierce, I personally really enjoy this arc.

Welp, now they’re making up excuses to be with each other. That’s valid. We already know they like each other now.

Strip rating: 8/10 I wonder how long this relationship will last. Now, 6 weeks long arc!

Craig has better hair.

I bet that Craig and Daphne will start goin out and liking each other, then Chad will just be nice to Gina and then start liking her, but in the end, it will all be the same thing, Nate has no girlfriend. Way to do something original Pierce

6/10. It’s could go somewhere but at this point I feel like if they were gonna get together it would’ve happened. I like your stuff Pierce, but you gotta have something new that doesn’t take to long.

I hope Nate and Daphne start a relationship not only because it would be nice, but also because it could be the way to make Nate stop taking detentions every day like they’re nothing. It’s definitely more fun doing science projects with her.

Daphne seems a lot less comfortable than Nate. Hmmm…

She might really like Nate. (Nates got a girlfriend)

She should bring the project to him in detention. They can work on it there together.

Nates going to get a body slam in the reality of a relationship-he’ll vow to never get married !!!!

Man, and it all started with Gina.

Well, it looks like he’s still on the detention grind

Gotta get the popcorn!

Take a hint, Craig!

She blinded him…with science!

Poor Craig

So Nate is better than Craig? I thought Nate was only better than Trevor. People keep saying better Nate than Trevor.

The girl wants you, Nate! Don’t blow this! (Though I have a feeling you will.)

Huh

Interesting, Daphne and Craig have a Jenny and Nate relationship. However, Nate could be like Aurtur in this, Artur is spelled wrong isn’t it

Unless it’s illegal or Immoral, Always agree with a girl that you are trying to impress. Rule number 1. And even then, you might be able to find a compromise in some illegality….

yeah, daphne is SO using nate

but nate is so desperate that he won’t mind

I wonder if Craig is Daphne’s ex boyfriend or if he likes here and he and Nate will become enemies

Woah hands up if you didn’t expect this

Again, this just works! I would love to know why Daphne is this desperate to stay away from Craig, but the dynamic works, and Nate’s joke at the end is oddly adorable, like, he’s so honest even when lying XD

7/10, not the funniest joke but I like it!

Overall week rating: 38/60. If it weren’t for that one 1/10 strip, this would be the best week of the arc, or, well, at least the most consistent! Though I think next week is gonna get the best score! At the very least, Big Nate is kinda fun to read and look forwards to again, and isn’t that what matters?

i love that he is so casual about having detention
