Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for March 20, 2025

Poll:Whos the geek? Francis or Gina?

Francis is smiling the entire time,

first

Gina should be honest, there is nothing to be embarrassed about going to a counselor

Please let this arc be serious

Apparently listening to Francis for five minutes can feel like an eternity.

First one to reply on this comment gets to choose my profile picture

Waiting for Ellen to reappear…

poll: what is your personality type? I am ENFJ :)

You’ve been talking for too long Francis.

Okay, that was pretty funny XD still wondering where this is all going, though. No way is this a romance thing (at least, imo) so unless this somehow leads to a Nate and Gina truce… I’ve got nothing.

Also, anyone else notice that every time it’s March (more or less) we get a huge week spanning arc? 2023 had the OG Nate and Daphne arc from March to May, 2024 had the Breakup Subversion act from February to late March, and now we have this arc that’s been going on for a month

bro cmon i dont want jokes i want plot

This one seems a bit filler, but there’s definitely going to be something important that happens here. This storyline literally started on February 24th, so there’s no way this isn’t going to amount to anything!

Oh, Francis.

Poll:who thinks ms Kirby is a good name

I thought they had something going there…

I hope Lincoln didn’t mess this one up (the arc, I mean)

Poll of The Day: Who’s more annoying, Kim or Randy?

….but, somewhere in that five minutes, has he even mentioned Nate, yet?……

“About what?”

Cue a long list of Nate-related things

Awkkkkwwward, ha

She wanted someone to talk to…..lol

francis, change the subject.

Nothing like a good “dodge”!!!!!

Gina shouldn’t have questioned why

co·de·pend·ent/ˌkōdəˈpend(ə)nt/adjectivecharacterized by excessive emotional or psychological reliance on a partner, typically one who requires support on account of an illness or addiction.“you go with her all the time because you’re a little codependent”nouna person with an excessive emotional or psychological reliance on a partner, typically one who requires support on account of an illness or addiction.“codependents confuse caretaking and sacrifice with loyalty and love”

she just had to ask… and the can of worms is overflowing out of the canister. :J

At least Francis was open about some of his problems before.

That’s interesting, I thought yesterday’s strip showed Gina leaving the counselors office, but she’s coming back for another session.Yeah, I hope this is serious and leads to some character development.

(we need some character development from gina.)

What if Gina and Francis get into a fight?

Please have Gina confess something!

of course francis starts ranting again

hi im new

bruhhh i wanted this to be serious haha

Oh, Francis. Poor, naive, Francis..

School will be over by the time he’s done.

ohooo yeeeeeessssssssss

This arc better not go bad

I’m really, REALLY enjoying this side of Francis. Yesterday and today’s strips revealed a raw humility in him that’s been MIA for a while.

If he and Gina end up together, I can see him helping her be more balanced. It’ll make for some hilarious and interesting storylines, ESPECIALLY when Nate finds out.

Say anything you want right here even curses
