BIG NATE IS GOING TO MAKE YOU LAUGH. BIG TIME!
Nate Wright truly believes he is destined for greatness!
But things don't always go your way just because you're awesome.

But a little thing like having-the-worst-day-ever won't hold back Big Nate!
'Lincoln Peirce is one of my cartooning heroes, and BIG NATE ranks as a comics classic. Year in and year out, Big Nate is among the best comics on the funny page.' Jeff Kinney, author of Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Lincoln Peirce began creating comics in the 6th grade (just like Big Nate!). He went on to teach art at a New York City High School. Lincoln created the cartoon-strip character Big Nate in 1991, naming the character after a nickname he gave his older brother as a kid. He lives in Portland, Maine in the US and as well as creating Big Nate comic strips and books, he hosts a local radio show.
