Outbursts of Everett True

A two-panel gag strip featuring Everett True, an irritable protagonist who responds to social annoyances with violent outbursts. In the first panel, True listens to a long-winded anecdote at a public fountain; in the second, he knocks his bore into the water. The strip exemplifies early newspaper comic humor relying on physical comedy and recurring character types. Published in the daily newspaper format that preceded modern comics, it demonstrates the visual language—sequential panels, speech balloons, exaggerated expressions—that became fundamental to the medium. True's volatile personality provided consistent comedic tension across multiple appearances.
