Big Nate: Out Loud

Big Nate is an American comic srip written and illustrated by Lincoln Peirce. The strip is about a boy named Nate Wright, a rebellious and energetic sixth-grader, and his classmates and teachers. Nate is portrayed as a boy with little interest in studies or conforming to standards. Because of this, he is no stranger to the detention room. Some of the staff at the school include Mrs. Godfrey (Nate's social studies teacher and chief faculty nemesis), art teacher Mr. Rosa, Principal Nichols, Mrs. Shipulski, and Mrs. Czerwicki. Nate's best friends include Francis and Teddy . In recent strips they formed a garage band named Enslave the Mollusk, apparently based off of Cage the Elephant. Enlave the Mollusk appears to have broken up.
