Outbursts of Everett True

A two-panel strip featuring the irascible Everett True, whose explosive reactions to social annoyances defined early comic humor. In the top panel, a man suggests True hide his baldness with a wig; below, True forces the wig onto his tormentor's head with characteristic fury. The strip exemplifies the visual conventions developing in newspaper comics: sequential panels, expressive caricature, speech balloons capturing vernacular dialogue, and a recurring protagonist whose exaggerated personality drives each gag. *Outbursts of Everett True* ran in newspapers nationwide and helped establish the daily comic strip as a distinct form, influencing the visual grammar that would define twentieth-century comics.
