For once, I think Everett's reaction is pretty justified.

Everett's reaction is always justified. Bro is my spirit animal.

Not always. I saw a comic where he destroyed the dining room table, and the meal his wife just cooked, because it was leftovers. I'd LOVE for a woman to cook food for me every night. If we have leftovers sometimes, eh, good food is still good food.

Yeah, Condo was doing like 5 comics a week in this period, he's bound to have misses, we just usually don't pick them.

Like here's one in which he tells his employee to do something, the employee doesn't get it, so Everett just slugs him in the face: https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ndnp/mimtptc/batch_mimtptc_ingalls_ver01/data/sn83016689/00279552039/1914091701/0925.pdf

But the employee kept pretending another grandma died, so he could go see Babe Ruth trot slowly and majestically around the bases. Wait...that guy was justified in sneaking out of work. Pick Ruth over the office. 👍

It wasn't even because it was leftovers. It was because she suggested there was enough that there WOULD BE leftovers. The meal itself was an amazing, freshly roasted turkey with stuffing and sides.

Let's get jackets with stitched logos, this is the cultus of Everett.

Yeah, it's a repulsive thing to do in front of others. Just ..find some privacy and do that. Carry a spittoon around, so people know to stay away.
