Middle school kids everywhere can relate to Big Nate's daily battle against overzealous teachers, undercooked cafeteria food, and all-around conventionality. This collection features cartoonist Lincoln Peirce's daily and Sunday strips.
Big Nate (stylized as big NATE in the comic collections and BiG NATE in the books) is an American comic strip written and illustrated by Lincoln Peirce, syndicated since January 7, 1991. The strip follows sixth-grader Nate Wright, alongside his family, friends, and foes.
The strip's success led to a media franchise, consisting of two series of children's books by Peirce - the eponymous novel series and the Little Big Nate board books - and an animated television series, which premiered on Paramount+ in 2022.
Big Nate follows the adventures and misadventures of Nate Wright, an incompetent, spirited, and rebellious sixth-grader. He has two best friends, Francis and Teddy, who occasionally get in trouble with him. Other characters include a variety of teachers and students at Nateโs school, Public School 38. Nate hates social studies teacher Mrs. Godfrey, whom he considers his nemesis, and calls her names like โthe school's Godzillaโ. He has a love-hate relationship with Artur, a foreign exchange student who is the boyfriend of Jenny, Nateโs crush. Nate also loathes Gina, a โteacherโs petโ who gets good grades and is constantly acting like a suck-up to Mrs. Godfrey. Peirce occasionally focuses on Nate's home life with his single father, Martin, and girly sister Ellen.[citation needed]
Answering questions from fans in The Washington Post'',[1] Peirce revealed the following about the creation of the strip:
"Big Nate started as more of a "domestic humor" strip than it is now. "I intended to feature a lot of stories about Nate's single dad, and all the comic possibilities inherent in that. But before too long, I realized that the part of the strip that I enjoyed most was the school humor. I'd been a teacher myself, and schools can be very funny places."
