Everett's been spending a lot of time at the track lately.

Then again, I'd probably try to get some time away from triplets too.

I've been posting the few comics that have some semblance of continuity. Pretty rare for Everett I think? I just think that it's neat.

I love the theme! Racing was a huge part of life before films and TV. I'm only sad for Everett's binos, that shit probably had hand-ground German lenses.

"lately"

Meanwhile all comics are roughly 100 years old.

Well to be fair then, Everett doesn't get up to very much at all lately.

What's up with those man-bags? Are those a racetrack thing?

It's where you keep your 20 pound 1905 binoculars, a hard leather case with green felt inside.

(Ok, the green felt was the expensive upgrade). Also pictured, the leather shoelace you'd have to use if you didn't bring the leather case.

Oh, that makes perfect sense, thanks.

If I had to guess, those are to carry their binoculars

I also wouldn't be surprised to see bookies with bags at a race track, that feels like it could be a thing

Sounds right, thanks.
