Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for March 22, 2024

Got here as soon as I could.

Teddy that’s literally not going to help

Nate needs to stop moping and just talk to Daphne and see if they can work it out

Nate is spot-on right there.

They are NOT breaking up. They wouldn’t draw this arc out this long and then actually break them up.

Also, good on Nate for not wanting to hurt Daphne. He’d rather be the hurt one himself.

Been both, done both. The Ted Man is right. It hurts either way.

Teddy’s behavior here is a pretty clear indicator that he has never gone through a real breakup, before. His only “experience” in that department was quite anti-climactic, to say the least.

Hope Nate doesn’t go through with it

Daphne is the best thing that ever happened to Nate. I hope Lincoln Peirce won’t break them up.

Who would y’all say was Nate’s best gf. I gotta go Daphne.

Surprising for Nate to not take Teddys advice.

He’s either too bummed out for any schematics, or showing actual maturity!

Probably a bit of both

One of Daphnes dark thoughts to Nate

I’m gonna go na break break uh break break your heart

This might go on to week 3

I already miss the Sunday strip

Nate having maturity and not making the same mistake he did with Kelly? Never thought I’d see the day!

It’s gonna hurt either way as he said.

Sigh I really thought this one was going to work.

Looks like A or D might be winning… (from last Friday’s poll)

Also, this is my last school day before spring break!

Do you get Teddy’s way of thinking?

Nate truly does care about her

Whew! That was a close one! Thank goodness he didn’t go Teddy’s route!

This strip really shows how much Nate likes and appreciates Daphne.

Teddy literally broke up with someone, and in that strip it looked like he hurt a lot! Dear god what dumb advice! Of course Nate’s going to hurt in the breakup either way, there’s no way to not be hurt.

Yup. We all know it’s inevitable at this point.

Strip rating,: 5/10 Just put us out of our misery already!

Never a good idea to take relationship advice from someone who’s never been in one

It always hurts.

My heart is breaking for Nate!

Don’t do it, Nate!

Don’t do it Nate!

At least Nate wants to stay loyal.

OK, here’s advice from someone who has never been in a relationship: Talk to the significant other about it. To me, there’s no reason to walk on eggshells around them.

I’m probably wrong, though. I’m still single, but that’s my two cents.

No rating again today. I’m pretty sure you all get it at this point. Just know that I don’t like this.

Good for you Nate. Don’t let your idiot friends mess up your relationship.

Nate! Simply back up to P2, and REALLY read what you said there, and leave it (instead of going and possibly topping your best screw-up work since 1991…)…….

Gosh dang what a stupid way to end this couple by her friends saying that stuff if Daphne never heard that things would be fine what away to go

PLeae dont nate

At least it looks like Nate isn’t listening to Teddy’s idiotic ‘logic’.

Its gonna hurt us too. :(

How about don’t assume it is inevitable?

Mr. Pierce, if you see this, please don’t break Nate and Daphne up.

Wondr how Daphne’s doodlebug is doing

If this happens I am quitting reading these strips

Teddy, don’t you remember your breakup with Paige? You broke up with her, and it felt terrible!

my guess is if he decides to break up with daphne she would have decided against it

Does anyone else notice that orange haired girl in panel 1? I don’t think she’ll show up ever again after today

“Shot though the heart and your to late you give love a bad name”

I remember those crazy days in school when your “friends” tried to tell you to break up with your girlfriend, that she is going to dump you…..sadly it was usually a lie, and the “friends” were trying to date your girlfriend. It was also the same with the girls.

It suddenly occurred to me…

What if Nate gets detention, and when he gets to the detention room, he discovers…

Daphne’s also there because SHE got detention, and that’s why she couldn’t “hang out with Nate after school”?

What is happening here? Please Nate just talk to her!

So go TALK to her, Nate. I don’t think either one of you wants this; you’re being pressured into it by others.

Well looks like stike 3 is around the corner.

wow, with friends like that who needs enemas?

Teddy, stop being so harsh to Nate!

Nate seriously needs to just find Daphne and talk to her.

Also does anyone think that Daphne will show up tomorrow?

I see no break up here

zanm insane L

Please stay away from Teddy for at least a month

Bro I’m waiting for Daphne to confront her “friends”. Come on LP let’s get some krama on the road

This better be a plot twist where Daphne ends up dumping her friends instead of Nate…

DAPHNIE STILL LIKES U NATE!!!

I kind of feel like we are getting less and less background extra characters

They’re both caving to peer pressure. Not good!

BOTH of you have horrible friends, DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM!!!!

0/10, at least he isn’t taking Teddy’s advice! He doesn’t understand!

Daphne and Nate might break up at the exact same time.

Hopefully, Daphne and Nate ignore their friends and stay together.

What does Peirce have against us??

I know where this is going, they’ll be fine.

I think Nate will go ask Daphne not to leave him, just for hear her say that it was never her intention to leave him.
