On June 28, 1919, the day this was printed, the Treaty of Versailles was signed in France ending the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers of World War I. That's the context for the "hun mine-layer" comment.
ATTENTION EVERREADIES.
You can also find comics on old newspapers that ran it. For example this one comes from the Library of Congress archive of the Ogden Standard:
Through that page you can also find a job as a stenographer with a cement company, or a 3-room apartment for rent ($35!), or "two milch cows" for sale, if you happen to be in Ogden UT in 1920.
I urge you to look for additional comics and post them.
Just hold this pose for a while until the cement sets good!
Ever the artist, Mr. True branches out into mixed media (cement and fool face).
Get up out of that so I can take one more punch at you!
Sadly, Everett would need to wait for the Fair Housing Act of 1968 for this landlord’s behavior to be federally illegal. It’s unclear what state Mr. True lives in (besides anger, obviously).
@clark@midwest.social is going back to school and can't post any more!

“There’s no hope of my beating any sense into you, but I’ll knock some of the ignorance out of you!”

Sometimes Everett’s angry chastising gets downright poetic. Here he throws out a one-liner worthy of an 80’s action movie, all because of a messy banana eater.

TRANSCRIPTION
A waitress is holding a steaming pile of food on a tray, while Everett sits at a dining table, a frown on his face. Waitress: We didn't have any spring chicken, Mr. True, so I brought some boneless canned- Everett punches the tray out of her hands, throwing the contents up onto the ceiling, knocking his chair and table askew in the process. Everett: Take it away!! TAKE IT AWAY!!!! Do you think I'm a scavenger? None of it for me! I read the papers, I do!!!
this one kinda shocked me im ngl lmao
I've always thought this one was funny but like i never understood it. Is he walking out bc the man started talking about snow. Did he drop his cigar om the way out. What's the young chaps laffin at.
get a load of these old character designs of mr and mrs true 💀
Hello everetters,
For a while I've been thinking about transcribing the comics I post so more people can enjoy them, but I've never actually transcribed before so I could use some pointers.
I'm very bad at describing anything that isn't dialogue, and I'm unsure if transcribing solely the dialogue is sufficient to get the message across, so maybe with somebody with more experience could voluntarily transcribe the comics at their own convenience? In which case, I would post their transcription in the text body.
If anybody got any suggestions / advice on how to transcribe actions and environment, or if you want to voluntarily transcribe some comics posted here, feel free to let me know in the comments.
Cheers!
Hi y'all,
Just wanted to sticky this to let y'all know that this community exists and I am the moderator (also of !madmax@midwest.social). I don't want to be the only one posting so I hope y'all post your favourite True strips in here as well. Also some simple rules:
Okay Everett lovers let's get this twentieth century party started
A place to appreciate the twentieth century comic character Everett True of "The Outbursts of Everett True." Feel free to check out the sticky.
