Editors' Note: Big Nate
by John Glynn
Just a short update for those of you have noticed Big Nate is in reruns: Lincoln is not on vacation, but rather attending to family matters unrelated to Big Nate. There's no firm timetable for Lincoln's return, but rest assured, he has every intention to return to the drawing board as soon as he can.

Good to know.

Will it be by Feb. 2018 when new Big Nate strips will resume? Also: We don’t know the reason with Jim S. and Gasoline Alley being in rerun arcs since November 2017 (and rerun Sundays since December 2017).

Are papers going to drop Big Nate if Lincoln Pierce doesn’t come back with new strips soon?

If new Big Nate strips don’t resume soon, is Mr. Pierce going to announce the end of the strip and all the Big Nate paper clients will have to replace Big Nate with other strips? This would be like the Boondocks took a hiatus for 2006 but decided to end the strip for good at the end of the 2006 year.

I’ve had a problem with my go comics page. Had to delete the app. Now I can’t find the GoComics app anywhere. What’s up?

Please, Mr. Pierce, come back to new Big Nate strips or else declare the strip is ended for good!

Have any papers dropped Big Nate yet due to its long rerun mode?
Darryl Heine over 6 years ago
I am not going to say any more how many weeks Big Nate has been in 2009 rerun mode. Please, Mr. Pierce, come back with new strips as soon as possible or declare you are ending the strip for good!

Aren’t you aware besides the fate of Big Nate the fate of Soup to Nutz?

PLEASE, MR. PIERCE, RESUME NEW BIG NATE STRIPS SOON OR DECLARE YOU ARE ENDING THE BIG NATE STRIP FOR GOOD!
Darryl Heine over 6 years ago
I wish Mr. Pierce declared the end of Big Nate strips if new 2018 Big Nate strips don’t resume soon!
Darryl Heine over 6 years ago
4-5 months in rerun mode with no return to fresh Big Nate strips nor ending strip fate for now.

Hey guys, I heard that there’s going to be an upcoming book by Lincoln Peirce, Max and the Midknights! It will be released in early 2019. Maybe Mr. Peirce’s family problems are finally over, but he decided to concentrate more on his new book. But if that really does mean the end of Big Nate, then we shall hope for Max and the Midknights to be as awesome as Big Nate. Keep up with your cartooning career, Mr. Peirce!

@John Glynn:
Your update is from Jan. 9. It is now more than four months later. Isn’t it time for another update?

Do not give up hope! Lincoln will return!

What are the odds that Big Nate will end for good if no new Big Nate strips resume by Mr. Pierce soon this Summer 2018?
Darryl Heine over 6 years ago
I am guessing there are 2 more weeks of the rerun mode for Big Nate up to the end of June 2018 since a paper – The Daily Herald in Illinois – ran next Sunday’s June 24, 2018 Big Nate 2009 Sunday rerun instead of this week’s June 17, 2018 Big Nate 2009 Sunday rerun. Unless this week or next Mr. Pierce decides he is parting ways with Big Nate to end the strip for good.
Darryl Heine over 6 years ago
Are we ever going to expect a word from Lincoln P. soon if the strip will resume new episodes in July 2018 or if he is parting ways with the strip causing it to end for good after 6 months of reruns?
Darryl Heine over 6 years ago
MR. PIERCE, ARE YOU EVER GOING TO ANNOUNCE THIS COMING YOU ARE ENDING THE BIG NATE STRIP FOR GOOD IF YOU DON’T RESUME NEW EPISODES IN JULY OR FALL THIS WEEK??
Darryl Heine over 6 years ago
Has your local newspaper dropped Big Nate because of its long rerun mode with no new strips for the past 6 months as of yet?
Darryl Heine over 6 years ago
It is now 1/2 a year since Big Nate went into a long rerun mode. Why isn’t Lincoln Pierce as of yet announcing he will resume new strips at least this Fall or declaring he’s retiring/cutting ties/parting ways/ending the Big Nate strip for good because of novel writing and family life or something like these? If the Big Nate strip ends in the next few to several weeks, it would have no farewell/finale strip like Soup to Nutz had when Rick S. ended the strip in May 2018 after 3 months of reruns. Even The Boondocks had no farewell/finale strip when there was a rerun mode in 2006 and Aaron M. decided to retire the strip.
Darryl Heine over 6 years ago
As of now, I am no longer reading Big Nate until Mr. Pierce decides to resume new strips after a long rerun mode unless he decides to end the strip for good instead.
