Strip by: Manny

(Nate is writing in his journal)
Text: Our homework is, we have to write a hundred words every day. A hundred words!
(Nate looks at the paper, then draws a crude portrait of himself flexing his muscles)
Nate: (to himself) Fortunately, one picture is worth a thousand of those suckers...
Nate, 22 years later: Really?

The author writes:

Lincoln Peirce's Big Nate is a comic I am interested in, quite oddly. While searching for strips to remix for iToons, I actually came across the first Big Nate strip. The rest is history.
