Outbursts of Everett True

This strip follows Everett True, an irascible everyman who responds to social annoyances with explosive, often violent outbursts. Here, True lectures a woman about the hazards of shopping with a baby and go-cart during rush hour, then advises waiting for the work train instead. The strip employs the visual conventions that define early newspaper comics: sequential panels, speech balloons, expressive line work, and a recurring character whose exaggerated reactions drive the humor. *Outbursts of Everett True* appeared in newspapers from 1905 onward, part of the syndicated comic strips that established the medium's vocabulary and demonstrated that serialized humor could sustain reader interest across multiple installments.
