Gordon "Gordie" Spyro (b. 21 January, 1994) is an employee of the Klassic Komix comics shop at the mall. He is mainly known as Ellen's boyfriend and a fan of Femme Fatality, much like Nate. He does not care much about Ellen now since he is more interested in comics and Femme Fatality.
Biography
When he was younger, his parents gave him the nickname of "Popeye." Following the end of his childhood, Gordon worked at Klassic Komix after school. Nate came to Klassic Komix on 2 January, 2017 with a comic book to purchase, claiming it was a New Year's Resolution and he had felt self-centered in the past.
Physical Description
Gordie has a square-shaped head and a crooked nose. According to Nate, he has no spine.
Personality
Gordie can sometimes be a nerd like Francis. He enjoys comics and is an expert in said field. He does not pay attention to Ellen and has a putrid taste in girlfriends, according to Nate. He gets along well with Nate most of the time, however Nate cannot believe that Gordie would actually date his sister. He is also ambidextrous, as he can draw with both hands at the same time.
As far as personality traits are concerned, he greatly resembles Francis Pope.
Behind the Scenes
Gordie is a minor character. His appearances are very small, so it is not that common to see him in Big Nate although he was seen in March of 2014.
Gordie's boss, Wayne, looks like "a caveman".
Gordie plays a minor role in Big Nate on a Roll.
Gordie has gone through Comic Evolution and no longer looks like what he did in the earlier Big Nate strips.
Although Ellen is his girlfriend, their personalities contrast sharply. Gordie is friendly toward Nate (and everyone in general), whereas Ellen has not tolerance for anyone outside her inner circle.
He resembles Mr. Staples.
