Community Activity:When and how did you discover Big Nate/Gocomics

(This is my first page so it’s probably gonna look bad. Also didn’t know it was already a thing)

This is basically a wiki activity where the users can share when and how did they discover Gocomics and Big Nate.

For me I had discovered Big Nate when I was around 9-11. My brother had read the books and showed it me and I became obsessed with them. How I had discovered Gocomics was through a chrome extension because I was obsessed with chrome extensions for some reason. I had downloaded one called Big Nate and when you clicked on it it just showed the daily strip and you could click a button that took you to the actual website. I had joined Gocomics somewhere between 2014-2016 where the poll drama was just starting up. I did comment sometimes. I ended up leaving during that time where it was just reruns for several months then came back in 2020 and discovered the wiki. Unfortunately I discovered I got banned from Gocomics for some reason so I can’t find my old comments and I forgot the pass to my old account.

Randomly found it when I searched up BIG NATE BOOKS. I've read them for about 4 years.

Was really bored in beginning of the Pandemic and had nothing to do. I was always searching up pdfs to read books for free. At first I thought GC was a scam site but at one point I had nothing to lose. I'm proud to say I was wrong.

I discovered Big Nate in around 4th grade (forgot how old i was and am too lazy to do the math). I read the novels and liked them a lot. GoComics on the other hand, was found earlier this year when i searched up "BigNate.com" because I thought i could read the books for free there if there was one. Long story short, GoComics was the first result, and blahblahblah here we are.

A couple years ago I found big Nate out loud in my classroom.

I used to read it in second grade, stopped, then started reading it again 2 years ago.

I found it in kindergarten, started reading it in first grade, and yeah I've been reading ever since.

It was a month after my 13th birthday. I was in the library and I was reading Big Nate: In Class by Himself. I wanted to look about infos about Lincoln Peirce on the back and I saw the link to GoComics. And I've been reading strips on there right from that moment.

So for Big Nate, I discovered it through the AMP books I read when I was younger. Sadly I don't have them anymore (dunno where they went). As for GoComics, I remember one Peanuts strip that I thought was funny (This one), but I couldn't remember the date, so I looked up "I was just supposed to ask them how many bathtubs they had Peanuts", and GoComics had the first result. I also remembered the Big Nate AMP comics I read, so I looked up that strip, and there it was. I created an account a few weeks later, and I've been on ever since.

I was at a friends house when I discovered Big Nate. It was one of the Big Nate comic books, and I was really hooked into it. I didn’t get to finish the book, though. I started buying more big nates books because I liked the one I read before. Eventually, I had finished most the books. fast forward a couple of months. I was at my grandmas house, bored. I decided to look on the iPad to see if I could find any Calvin and Hobbes comic strips. This was the first thing that came up, and I was shocked that I had access to all the C&H comic strips for free. That led to me realizing I had access to other comics too, like big Nate. That’s how I discovered GCs.

I couldn't say when the first time I discovered Big Nate, so I'll just try and remember how I found GoComics. A long time ago I found out that my local newspaper had Big Nate in it (except for Sundays), Which was awesome, so I always read the comics on there, but eventually my parents stopped getting the newspaper because why tf are newspapers still a thing. Anyways I had been trying to read all the daily Big Nate strips, but I just couldn't seem to find anything. I remember finding this one website that had hardly any of the strips and really wasn't updated daily, which I still don't get how I found that before GoComics, but eventually I found GoComics. I started reading the Big Nate strips, and didn't make an account or even notice there was a comment section for a while, like way too long, I don't get how I was such an unobservant kid. Anywho eventually I started reading the comments, and decided not to make an account, which I don't understand why I did this. Eventually I made an account to follow multiple comics, and finally started commenting on Big Nate around the time a Poll War started (Idk if it was the 1st or 2nd.) And then a few years pass, and BOOM here am I today.

Soti:
it was 2017, I was in the 5th grade. I went onto the yahoo browser and searched up “big Nate” and found gocomics. And that’s literally the story.

HK-47
Answer: Literally SOTI’s story except it was in 2020. Fun Fact: My first ever account was “Quicksilver” and then saw the trolls and I wanted to be one so I made “HK-47”. That meatbag “didn’t ask” changed my GoComics career.

I discovered Big Nate in my school's library.

I bought a bunch of Big Nate books and noticed that the daily strips were available on a website called 'GoComics', and that's literally it.
