Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 17, 2017

Personally, I do not only find playing goalie dangerous, but rather boring. How about you guys?

This might be random, but if Nate became a rapper his name should be “Lil Nate”. What about you?

Amiguity was the key there. Hockey is a game that involves a lot of bodily contact such as body checks (professional players often get concussions) and the goalie can potentially sustain the most injuries (getting hit by the puck, getting slammed another player, getting hit with a hockey stick, et cetera). It’s really no wonder the hockey safety equipment is so expensive.

Nate’s dad is the one that’ll always fall for Nate’s tricks. Even Nate’s friends have realized that playing goalie is too dangerous.

Ask questions before you agree to something.

Nate’s dad should have ordered Nate to be the goalie instead or he could have told Nate that father-son stuff meant that he couldn’t have Teddy joining, but that wouldn’t be very nice of him. Anyway, 50006 subscribers… It finally happened, congratulations Mr. Peirce and us for sticking with him until now. :)

Nate’s dad is big enough that if he lies down sideways, he can block nearly the whole net.

Nate’s dad might get a concussion

Congratulations!!! 50,000 followers

Hockey? I used to live in a state where hockey was a tradition and i don’t even play hockey.

Ever notice how Dee Dee always seems to be in that pose?

I just realized I haven’t read big Nate in a couple of days! But today it looks like a good strip so that makes up forIt. Can’t wait for Monday’s arc

Nates dad is back!!!!!!

I was hoping for a hockey one soon! Looks like Marty’s no Braden Holtby.

At least Marty saved the ball.. and also poor Marty

Saved by the ball!

I love how Chad responds politely and with a smile but everybody else is just rude about it

The subscriber count just went back up to 50,001! Well done Mr Peirce! (Sorry if I spelt your name wrong q: )

Nate doesn’t seem at all unhappy that he didn’t score.

DaAaAaAD!!! This is why I told you to wear a helmet!

I remember watching a game once where Tampa Bay’s goalie, Ben Bishop (doesn’t play for them anymore) got hit in the head with a puck, and two teeth came out. And he was wearing g his protective mask!

finally dee dee appeared after, like, what, 3 years

And that’s why hockey goalies wear helmets..

The sketch dosent make sense. Stop treating a hockey goalie like a JOB

notice how chad answer’s in the most kindhearted way

How did it hit him, unless he was crouching down?

To be honest, did Nate and Teddy really think Dee Dee would play hockey with them? Especially as a goalie? Because, correct me if I’m wrong, Dee Dee has never played hockey before.

Francis sounds fake-friend-ish there, (I’m just saying)

And Nate has destroyed Marty’s forehead.

At lease artur said sorry
