A place to appreciate the twentieth century comic character Everett True of "The Outbursts of Everett True." Feel free to check out the sticky.
Printed 112 years ago today in The Tacoma Times. Image brightness/contrast modified and some artifacts cleaned up; see the original.
Found on the Library of Congress site.
I believe that money can buy anyone and for the folks it can't you can use money to get the things they want. I mean, we're talking about the magical land of hypotheticals where we have infinite money.
Money can't buy a stroke which i just acquired reading the first few sentences of your comment.
Money can't buy a stroke
Hey now... sure I'm cocktail that bought can be chemicals don't can't provide the same.
It was only two sentences. You don't need to say "the first few sentences," but that's probably the stroke talking.
This one was made by Clifton Meek who did some of these in the early years. Meek's lettering is a lot clearer than A.D. Condo's, though his ~~characters~~ people drawn are about the same quality and in this strip at least, he seems to have skipped the backgrounds.
Thank you for the interesting true lore!
Definitely appreciate the cleaner lettering but I do miss the intricate background ngl
🎶 You seem to think that everybody can be taught
That everyone else can be bought
But, you took a short, cause one guy hasn't been paid
He is ~~the Jack of Spades!~~ Everett True! 🎶
Isn’t this an impossible bet?
If he doesn’t take the bet and takes the cash, he loses the bet.
If he takes the bet and can’t be bought, he’s doing it for the money?
Neither of those actions proves or disproves the bet, since the person in question to prove or disprove it doesn't have to be either of them.
Yeah, I keep trying to figure out if it's a paradox, or what you'd have to do to make it a paradox, but I get confused. I think E-Tru had the right idea in "cutting the Gordian knot" by just bonking the guy.
