Outbursts of Everett True

A two-panel gag strip featuring the irascible Everett True, a recurring character known for explosive reactions to social inconvenience. In the upper panel, a well-dressed man requests an autograph in True's album; the lower panel shows True's violent response—hurling the album away in fury. The strip demonstrates early newspaper comic conventions: recurring protagonist, speech balloons, sequential panels depicting cause and effect, and exaggerated physical comedy. *Outbursts of Everett True* ran in the Sunday pages and dailies, exemplifying how newspaper strips of this era established visual storytelling techniques that would define American comics. The character's unprovoked aggression provided crude humor for early-twentieth-century readers.
