Outbursts of Everett True

A daily strip following the volatile Everett True through social situations where his hair-trigger temper produces absurd, exaggerated confrontations. Here, True threatens to throw a woman out a window after she's been tickling his chin and rubbing his clothes. His companion observes the chaos with resignation. The strip exemplifies early newspaper comics' visual vocabulary: multiple panels advancing narrative, speech balloons conveying dialogue and emotion, and a recurring protagonist whose predictable rage drives each gag. Published in dailies nationwide, *Everett True* helped establish comic strips as a standardized format alongside news and sports, proving that serialized character-driven humor could sustain reader interest and advertiser interest across months and years.
