Big Nate: On a Roll

Nate is distracted by thinking of a name for his invention, while Spitsy sees Pickles (Francis's cat whom he loves for some strange reason) and dashes for her, leaving Nate out of control with his invention and smashing his face on a tree. Nate gets a black eye and some bruises. He eventually finds Spitsy with Pickles, but when his dad sees Nate's injuries, he drives him to the emergency room. His doctor says to Nate's dad for Nate to rest for the day.

Nate wakes up early the next morning to let people in his neighborhood know about his business by making little cards and drawing little pictures of him doing work and sticking them in almost everyone's property around the neighborhood. He gets lots of jobs and earns almost 50 dollars, but he has a job that involved moving [[lawn gnomes]] to their name signs (for help Nate had to turn the gnomes over and find its name) and Nate would get 25 dollars if he finished the job. One acquaintance Nate has is named Kevin, and he is on his way to a Peter Pan show and is playing the part of [[Captain Hook]]. Nate finds a [[sword]] on Kevin (which is just wood and silver paint) and asks if he can use it, and Kevin gives it to him. However, when Nate is acting like [[Captain Hook]], he swings the sword at a lawn gnome and without even knowing and decapitates one of the lawn gnome, which results in the owner of the gnomes firing him from his job, and then Nate not getting his 25 dollars.

On Monday morning, Nate finds hope to raise more money as he sees The Math Olympiad roster, and Artur is on the list, and Nate later finds out that the Math Olympiad lasts for 2 days on the next weekend, which gives him plenty of time to catch up to Artur. Then after that, Nate tries to trick Artur into falling in love with Gina (since Gina is also on the roster too). He walks into Social Studies class now, but when he is getting to his desk, Mrs. Godfrey screams at him for his mediocre homework and tells Nate to rewrite it without the cartoons. That suddenly gives Nate an idea to sell cartoons rather than sell wall hangings. After school, he quickly gets home and puts together "Nate's Comix Crack Up", a compilation of comics written by Nate. Then he makes 20 copies of the comic (it only took 33 dollars and 92 cents which is almost all the money he got over the weekend).
