Theory: Small Nate

Don't you ever wonder why he's called BIG Nate? I do too. It just makes no sense. Seeing how short he is, the title should be Small Nate. But here's a theory on why he's called big Nate.

Think back in the old comics...
So back in 1991, Nate was really tall. Skinny, but long legs. During the time, Lincoln probably thought of calling him Big Nate because of his height. Over the past 40 years, he has changed significantly. It would be weird calling him Small Nate now because he had his titular name for a very long time.

This concludes my theory.
