Big Nate Strikes Again

His attempts to get out of homework or impress friends feel like classic middle school struggles. Did these moments make anyone else laugh or cringe?

Lincoln Peirce's humor really captures what it's like to be a middle schooler, but I'm curious about what sparked the idea for Big Nate's personality and adventures.

The expressive characters and simple drawings add so much to the story's tone. Do you think a different art style would have changed the overall vibe?
