Outbursts of Everett True

A daily comic strip featuring the irascible Everett True, whose exaggerated reactions to minor social annoyances drove the humor. Here, True confronts a hobo who has overstayed his welcome, launching into characteristic complaint. The strip employs the visual conventions now standard to comics: sequential panels, speech balloons for dialogue, and caricatured figures. *Outbursts of Everett True* exemplified the newspaper comic strips that emerged in early 1900s dailies, establishing recurring characters whose personality quirks generated ongoing gags. These strips formed the foundation of modern comic art, codifying panel layout, lettering, and visual timing that would shape comic books decades later.
