Outbursts of Everett True

A two-panel strip depicting Everett True, a cantankerous gentleman, confronting a woman about her oversized hat. In the first panel, True objects to the hat's prominence; in the second, indoors, he demands she remove it so others won't be blocked from view. The strip employs the visual conventions that defined early newspaper comics: sequential panels with speech balloons, exaggerated facial expressions, and a recurring character whose explosive reactions to social absurdities drive the humor. *Outbursts of Everett True* exemplified the dailies' role in establishing comics as a distinct medium, combining character consistency with commentary on contemporary manners and fashion.
