Ok, some of this is flat out wrong.

You asked me if Chad is my favorite character, to which I said no. Then you somehow spun that into how I don't like him anymore? I never said that, I said he's not my favorite character, not that I don't like him.

That is not at all realistic or funny, and it makes no sense either. Something being funny is a matter of opinion. You can't state that something's not funny and no one laughed at it. Have you asked everyone in the world?

'''And also, Chad is afraid of YOGURT. Why is he playing an oboe in a haunted house? There is literally no context on this. ''' Chad is meant to be the weird and random character. I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the afraid of yogurt thing was mentioned in Big Nate: Flips Out, a novel that is not canon to the strip. Even if it WAS mentioned in the comics, that's exactly how Chad's character is supposed to be. Of course there's no context, he's the random character that pops out of nowhere.

'''For example, this arc recently could have been interesting. But in the end, surprise of all surprised, Chad gets rid of suspense. ''' "Suspense

noun
 * 1.

a state or feeling of excited or anxious uncertainty about what may happen."

Yes, suspense is always gone by the time the thing happens. That's what suspense is. If you were watching a horror movie and they walked into the haunted mansion and the killer walked out, that would ALSO get rid of all suspense. That's how suspense works. Again, it being interesting is a matter of opinion. I thought this arc was pretty cool and a neat idea. To state it as a fact however, is just not true.

Thank you for reading
