Big Nate Replacement Thread Redux – Chasing Wallace
Skip to comments
Newspapers.com with their 30 day delay has caught up with the June 13, 2026 end of Big Nate dailies.
Unfortunately the Advance Publication papers ran an advertisement for the Sunday Big Nate during that first week so I still don’t what comic strip, if any, has replaced Big Nate in those daily newspapers.
“If any” because a couple papers, at least initially has replaced Big Nate with more space on their funny pages. Those two papers would be The Tampa Bay Times and The Springfield Republican.
(The Springfield Republican is an Advance newspaper but doesn’t comply with the HQ demand for consolidation. I don’t know why.)
Otherwise Wallace the Brave jumped into the lead for replacing Big Nate.
Elsewhere the Maine Trust newspapers of The Portland Press Herald, The Waterville Morning Sentinel, The Kennebec Journal, and The Lewiston Sun-Journal all went with fairly local Will Henry and his Wallace the Brave.
Canada’s Postmedia old school broadsheets in 2022 went with the same comics page for all the newspapers. And so The Windsor Star, The Vancouver Sun, The Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, The Ottawa Citizen, The Regina Leader-Post, The Montreal Gazette, The Edmonton Journal, and The Calgary Herald all started running Wallace the Brave on June 15, 2026.
Sound Publication newspapers still allow the individual papers’ editors to pick the comic strips that run on their funny pages, so: The Honolulu Star-Advertiser chose Rosebuds while The Everett Daily Herald went with Wallace.
If any readers have access to an Advance newspaper please let us know what, if anything, replaced Big Nate in those newspapers
