Big Nate A super-sized, super-funny compilation of all the most hilarious moments from Big Nate"s long running, much-loved comic strip. Big Nate is created by Lincoln Peirce, who inspired Jeff Kinney, author of DIARY OF A WIMPY KID. Check out this first compilation of classic Big Nate comic strips, originally published in newspapers and on the Web at comics.com. 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.
