Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 12, 2023

Nate this is where you artistic brain comes in

Lube in the afterlife ?

I believe George Carlin once suggested that, when you die, your soul goes to a garage in Buffalo. Yeah…I’m going with that. Makes as much sense as the heaven or hell thing.

that is so fking random LMAOO

also the fact that Nate is so energized hearing about someone having a near-death experience XD

just use your imagination nate you got a ton of that

most of the accounts I’ve heard/read about of near-death experiences mention how you see your own body from the outside, as if you are hovering over yourself. then you start to ascend upwards (sometimes towards a light) and get farther and farther from earth

idk the joke wasn’t terrible prob cause i don’t remember what a jiffy lube is but hoping for a more interesting strip tomorrow 6/10 ps should i switch my profile pic to dora with takis and hot chettos? or however u spell it

What about THIS Life?

I had to research what the punchline was, so that’s not incredible. I have been to a similar place, I get the joke but it’s nothing that special.

6\10

Googled “jiffy lube” and it is a car maintenance company. So yeah, hope this is NOT the afterlife.

Maybe they can borrow Moe from “Calvin and Hobbes” as a crossover so Nate can find out whether there is an afterlife.

Get Francis.

I almost died skiing in the Alps. No safety ropes or ski patrol like where I was used to skiing in the NY Catskills. My husband unknowingly (so he says!)put me on an advanced slope and I lost control and fell and starting rolling to the edge of the 9000 ft. mountain! It’s absolutely true when they say your life passes before you in those last seconds. Yes, I’m still alive. I have no idea how I pulled out of that. After all, this is not my ghost typing this comment!

was it ever implied that Pedro has a job? sure, he was a hypnotic in the novel series, but this might hint that Pedro works for a car repair shop.

1 Corinthians 2:9

Frisbieterians believe your soul goes up on the roof and you cannot get it back down.

…could’ve fared worse……coulda been a Taco Bell…..

Must have been the pits!

In Beetlejuice, they went to a sort of DMV

I don’t know if this is a near death experience, but when I was 10 I was playing outside with my sister and I hit my head on a concrete. I don’t really remember what happened next, but I remember I saw a flash of light, and everything just went dark? lol I woke up in the hospital it took a lot of stitches to patch my head up. Also didn’t Nate have a near death experience in one of the 90s strips?

That would be depressing. They always take so long, that you get bored.

This should be Nate’s easiest assignment. Sign a blank piece of paper and tell the teacher he doesn’t believe in an afterlife!

Besides, who doesn’t want to know what the afterlife looks like

7/10, okay, just kinda weird. Nate, you had a near death experience once, you should know!

Didn’t Nate have one from choking on a peppermint?

Boi wat—

Strip rating: 4/10 This joke is pointlessly difficult to understand imo…

Nate In the Bardo.

In other words: hell on earth…!!!

I once saw the light. I grabbed at a pole in order to avoid it.

I’d imagine a lot of people have an idea about the afterlife, be it Heaven, Hell, or a black void of nothingness. Just pick one of those.

…I’ll go with the Jiffy Lube.

I’m going to guess he slipped, fell, knocked over the tube, it landed in his mouth, and he began choking on it.

Come on Nate, you write imaginative comic stories all the time, this should be a walk in the park.

okay ive already lost interest 2/5 yesterday I was so excited lol

Solid Strip! I had to look up the joke but…maybe its beacause I’m slow lol. Overall Rating: 6/10

Organized religion has had a field day with this, why should they have all the fun?

Not if you own a Jiffy Lube.

Umm ok sure my dirty mind thought something else till I searched this up…. _

Nate once nearly choked on a peppermint once, and supposedly had a near-death experience after hitting his head on a table a different time. I think this essay will be pretty easy for you, Nate!

Today is my brothers birthday. That’s why I missed the strip oof

The joke ain’t even funny, this arc sucks…

Let’s just hope he doesn’t do a near death experience too..

I had an NDE. Good news, I met God and God is coming down for a visit. Bad news, She’s black and She is pi$$ed.

Lol jiffy lube mad specific
