Sixth grade renaissance man Nate Wright is bombastic, enthusiastic, and larger than life—it’s why his friends call him “Big Nate.” But behind the bravado, Nate is a faithful friend whose antics crack up his classmates, impart life lessons to readers, and bring a smile to comics fans everywhere.

It’s back-to-school time for sixth-grader Nate Wright, and this just might be the best year ever! Rumors are flying that the villainous Mrs. Godfrey is now teaching EIGHTH grade. Chad is on the verge of destroying Gina in the race for class president. And could Nate finally realize his dream of changing the school mascot to . . . a sea cucumber? Hey, why not? He’s a can-do kind of guy. So when the

Weekly Bugle needs a story, Nate’s happy to make headlines—by (allegedly) starting an epic food fight in the cafetorium! In this latest collection of gut-busting Big Nate comics, Nate’s always stirring things up, but at the end of every day, P.S. 38 is still standing. In other words: NO HARM DONE!

Lincoln Peirce

Lincoln Peirce

For more than three decades, Lincoln Peirce has been channeling the chaos, charm, and comic timing of middle school into one unforgettable character: Nate Wright. Long before Big Nate became a beloved series for millions of young readers—and a hit animated show—Peirce was sketching his way through his own childhood in New Hampshire, dreaming up comic strips during class and imagining what it would be like to see his work in print. That day came in 1991, when Big Nate made its newspaper debut, capturing the everyday disasters of adolescence with a blend of mischief, heart, and hilarious honesty.

What sets Peirce’s storytelling apart isn’t just the punchlines—it’s the empathy behind the humor. His characters, while often caught in cringe-worthy moments or ridiculous schemes, are unmistakably human. Nate isn’t just funny; he’s flawed, hopeful, dramatic, and deeply relatable. Through comics and chapter books alike, Peirce taps into the real emotional rollercoaster of growing up without ever talking down to his audience. That balance has helped Big Nate resonate with generations of readers—kids who see a bit of themselves in the chaos of detention, dodgeball, and best-friend squabbles.

Peirce’s style draws from classic comic traditions—he’s often cited Charles Schulz and MAD Magazine as early influences—but he’s never been content to stay in the past. The shift from black-and-white strip to full-color books, and later to an animated series on Paramount+, shows his knack for evolving while staying true to the heart of his characters. It’s that adaptability—and his intuitive understanding of what makes kids laugh—that keeps his work feeling fresh.

When he’s not drawing, Peirce enjoys playing the banjo and watching old Westerns, which might explain Nate’s occasional cowboy fantasies. He’s also a former sixth-grade teacher, which probably gave him more than a little inspiration for Nate’s infamous school antics.

With a voice that’s as sharp as it is sincere, Lincoln Peirce continues to shape the landscape of children's humor—one comic disaster at a time. His work doesn’t just entertain; it invites readers to laugh at the messiness of life and find joy in being exactly who they are.

Big Nate

Middle school isn’t for the faint of heart—but for Nate Wright, it’s the perfect stage for epic misadventures, cringe-worthy mishaps, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. The Big Nate series captures the hilarious highs and humiliating lows of adolescence through the eyes of a kid who’s absolutely certain he’s destined for greatness… even if his teachers, classmates, and locker assignments suggest otherwise.

At its core, the series is a sharp, laugh-out-loud portrait of growing up with too much confidence and not quite enough luck. Nate’s world is filled with familiar players: loyal (if exasperated) friends, exasperated (if loyal) teachers, annoying siblings, and a never-ending stream of authority figures trying to rein in his imagination. But what makes these stories stand out is how they lean into the messiness of childhood—where dreams of stardom meet pop quizzes, and elaborate schemes for lunchroom domination collapse under the weight of a broken pencil.

Blending comic strip humor with full-length storytelling, the books move with the energy of a cartoon but carry the emotional smarts of a kid who’s figuring things out one detention slip at a time. There’s real heart beneath the jokes—an understanding of what it’s like to feel underestimated, to crave recognition, and to believe that your next big idea could finally be the one that works.

This series has found its way into classrooms, libraries, and lunchboxes across the globe, thanks in part to its irresistible mix of graphic storytelling and fast-paced middle-grade humor. And while Nate might never escape the watchful eye of Mrs. Godfrey or avoid the wrath of a pop quiz, he’ll keep showing up, pen in hand, ready to doodle his way through disaster. Because in his world, being a little loud, a little wrong, and a lot persistent is just part of the adventure.
