| rdfs:comment | - Francis Butthurst Pope (or simply Francis), is Nate's #1 friend (despite his #1A friend, Teddy), although he is a bit of a nerdy geek, and the deuteragonist of "Big Nate," according to Nate, placing him as his number one friend. He was the electric guitarist for Nate's garage band, Enslave the Mollusk. Francis is very intelligent and always excels in school. Francis even owns a cat named Pickles, whom Spitsy, the dog of Nate's neighbor is engaged to. Although Nate and Francis make fun of each other, making fun of each other is how their friendship works, as said in Big Nate Strikes Again.

| abstract | - Francis Butthurst Pope (or simply Francis), is Nate's #1 friend (despite his #1A friend, Teddy), although he is a bit of a nerdy geek, and the deuteragonist of "Big Nate," according to Nate, placing him as his number one friend. He was the electric guitarist for Nate's garage band, Enslave the Mollusk. Francis is very intelligent and always excels in school. Much to Francis' annoyance, Nate is often expressing the superiority of dogs to cats, because Nate is a dog lover who hates cats. Francis rebuttals with his evidence of the superiority of cats, though the evidence usually pops up by itself. Francis even owns a cat named Pickles, whom Spitsy, the dog of Nate's neighbor is engaged to. Although Nate and Francis make fun of each other, making fun of each other is how their friendship works, as said in Big Nate Strikes Again. Francis is friendly to his Social Studies teacher, Mrs. Godfrey and to Artur, contrary to Nate's feelings. Francis also has a mother, to which he described, in Big Nate from the Top, was "quite slender."
