Hai guys.

As I googled for some Everett True comic strips I stumbled upon this picture. And I was so puzzled bc what the hell did this guy do to deserve this. And then the idea was made: no context Thursdays, every Thursday we post at least one panel that has no context whatsoever and we can try to guess why the person in question got beat up/met Mr True's fury.

Obviously we can always post regular comics, I just think it's fun to have a designated day specifically for no context panels. And I dömt think this will catch om so maybe I'll look stupid but I think the idea is fun and I will most certainly post on no context thursdays

Love you everetters

that being said: what do you think this man did to piss Everett off?

Transcription:

In a park with rich vegetation and several trees sits a couple on a bench, facing away from the reader. The woman leans into her boyfriend's arm, saying "— AND WE'LL BE OH, SO HAPPY IN OUR LITTLE COTTAGE, DEARIE."

Everett True is seen sitting on a bench a few metres from them, facing the reader. He is wearing his usual black coat with a dark vest and striped pants. He is holding a cigar in one hand and a newspaper in the other, looking restrained and confounded.

Everett True: "I'D LIKE TO KNOCK THEIR HEADS TOGETHER AND BRING THEM TO, BUT MY DOGGONE CONSCIENCE WON'T LET ME — I WAS YOUNG MYSELF ONCE!"

Two panel comic strip shows Everett True in a butcher shop, after receiving his parcel he beckons the butcher, when the butcher returns True pushes his head down to the counter so he can get a closer look at the change he has left after the transaction. True asks the butcher if, perhaps, he shouldn't "wrap up the change, too?" He complains that "it's all smeared over with blood and grease" and tells him to "Clean it off!!!"

I was looking around for some specific comics, when I ran across an archived version of the 1907 book titled The Outbursts of Everett True. I was going to link directly to the PDF, but thought some people might like the source page better.

I was going to say we just found out Mr True's first name, but then I realised it's Everett. But then who is James...
