The Outbursts of Everett True (1907)

by

I was looking around for some specific comics, when I ran across an archived version of the 1907 book titled The Outbursts of Everett True. I was going to link directly to the PDF, but thought some people might like the source page better.

US Voters: Everett True would have approved this message!

by

Several of E.T.'s comics are about the importance of voting. Early voting wasn't a thing back then, but it is now, and it has started in most states. See here: https://www.vote.org/early-voting-calendar/

Everett True and Selection Bias (Links to 20 cartoons!)

by

People sometimes ask why these old comics are still relatable, and part of the answer is: selection bias! Namely, those of us who post them tend to select those that we find relatable. To highlight that, here are all the Everett True comics on the Library of Congress site that came out on October 26 (of various years). These are not cleaned up or even cropped from their newspaper: - Everett True doesn't give up his seat! 1905. Inconsistent with how he acts in future years - Everett True complains to Mrs True 1906. A candidate for selection - Everett True berates an employee 1908. Not very good behavior. - Everett True discusses tariffs. 1910. Kind of relevant to current US politics. But the joke isn't that great. - Everett True objects to a preacher's language. 1910. Probably more relevant back in the day. - Everett True pushes past a guy. 1914. Kind of funny, but not really all that exciting - Everett True wants to get waited on. 1914. Maybe kind of relateable... not really though. - Everett True objects to a card game. 1914. I don't really get it, but I don't play cards... - Everett True doesn't do chores. 1916. Only slightly relateable - Everett True objects to a dating couple. 1916. wtf? - Everett True beats up a drunk who doesn't buy a Liberty Loan. 1917. Kind of dated. - Everett True beats up another guy who didn't buy a Liberty Bond. 1917. Also kind of dated. Note that the quality of this image is very poor. - Everett True beats up a guy who wakes him up. 1918. Dated, kind of... - Everett True objects to tipping. 1918. Very relevant, though they seemed to tip differently back then. A candidate for selection. - Everett True freaks out on the phone. 1921. I don't really get this one, I think he was listening to "hold music"? - Everett True gets called to bail out a friend who was speeding. 1921. A candidate for selection. - Everett True can't get a word in. 1921. A candidate for selection. - Everett True irritates Mrs True. 1921. Would be a candidate for selection but I'm not crazy about Mrs True referring to his "brutality" - it sounds like he's abusive (which he isn't shown to be). - Everett True has gout. 1922. Wat is gout? I thought only Kings of England got it. Seems dated. - Everett True hates jazz. 1922. seems weird. I think jazz back then was like rock n roll was later on?
