Community Activity:When do you think the decline of Big Nate was?

If you think Big Nate is dying, why? And if its not dying, tell me why in this article

Personally, I think Big Nate started dying the day after Peirce came back from vacation, his jokes became more dull and his arcs more boring, they had potential, but they were boring, and he seemed to stretch them out a bit, we had a 1-2 month arc on Francis leaving Nate.

Personally, it seemed like in 2018 Big Nate lost near all of his followers and the real decline began. 2019 was a bright year but after it's just been lame overused jokes and reruns. My opinion.

I definitely agree that the decline began in 2018 after Mr. Peirce's half-year hiatus, but I've been enjoying the comic for almost a decade now, and I wanna stick around until the end and hope for better things to come by then. At least we have the book series Max and the Midknights that I also enjoy, along with the upcoming Big Nate TV series that would hopefully come next month as planned. Maybe we would have something great from the TV series and the upcoming third Max and the Midknights book. Best of luck for us all!
