Hello everetters,
For a while I've been thinking about transcribing the comics I post so more people can enjoy them, but I've never actually transcribed before so I could use some pointers.
I'm very bad at describing anything that isn't dialogue, and I'm unsure if transcribing solely the dialogue is sufficient to get the message across, so maybe with somebody with more experience could voluntarily transcribe the comics at their own convenience? In which case, I would post their transcription in the text body.
If anybody got any suggestions / advice on how to transcribe actions and environment, or if you want to voluntarily transcribe some comics posted here, feel free to let me know in the comments.
Cheers!

Hi y'all,
Just wanted to sticky this to let y'all know that this community exists and I am the moderator (also of !madmax@midwest.social). I don't want to be the only one posting so I hope y'all post your favourite True strips in here as well. Also some simple rules:
- This place is only for the posting of Everett True comics by Condo,
- Please try posting the most high quality image of a comic excerpt,
- If you can, post the publication date of the comic strip, otherwise type either nothing or (date unknown).
Okay Everett lovers let's get this twentieth century party started

I originally wasn't planning on posting today but I stumbled upon this one that's too good not to share. I'll be back next time with another arc!
