The Outbursts of Everett True. Hey, Mr. Butcher, Come Back Here / Condo. (Date Unknown)
(lemmy.world)
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!!!"
The more of these I read the more confused I get when people say they always sympathize with Everett
I think he's kind of a Seinfeld character where the things he's upset about are relatable but the character is still a jerk.
Kind of interesting that this would've been relatable. Its funny if you cook and read old recipes and they'll say "have your butcher cut it like this" or "most butchers will give this away for free." Most people no longer have access to an independent butcher at all and now the stuff that was free is a "specialty item" with a high price tag.
Well I think of lot of us only saw a few comics where he was just blatantly in the right, but then more and more get posted that's way more ambiguous
Though I have to say I would also refuse to touch change if a butcher gave it to me like that
