Main article: Big Nate

Big Nate, Peirce's second attempt at a comic strip, debuted on newspapers on January 7, 1991. The story revolved around the eccentric life of a sixth-grader named Nate Wright, and his family, friends, schoolmates and teachers. Though initially meant to center on Nate's family, the strip eventually began to center on Nate, his friends, classmates, teachers, and middle school P.S. 38. The comic strip has spawned many collections, a musical, and a children's book series.

The novel series is written and illustrated by Peirce himself, and published by HarperCollins. They include:

• Big Nate: In a Class by Himself
• Big Nate Strikes Again
• Big Nate On a Roll
• Big Nate Goes for Broke
• Big Nate Flips Out
