Printed 104 years ago today in the Daily East Oregonian. I adjusted the image Brightness and Contrast.

Found on the Library of Congress site.

He did the right thing.

"Go to Browns for Agains" needed to be destroyed.

"Brown's For Bargains" Annoying font needed to go. sharing a stylized "B"? Not in True's world.

@Rolando @truecomics you can mostly predict how much of a good guy Everett is going to be by how closely his form approximates a perfect sphere. Early Everett was more normal human shaped and was just a dick. This is a highly spherical good guy Everett!

I do wish someone would publish a study that linked distracted driving and auto deaths to roadside signage, such that more states would pass laws against it. Assuming there's a link, of course. I'm still not certain why state citizens across the country haven't risen up and had them banned more broadly; they benefit so few, and annoy so many. Without some concrete evidence of harm, does it come down to free speech fights in courts, where legislation is overturned? Or is there just so much apathy there's no public outcry?

I suppose most people, like myself, have just grown up accepting it as a fact of the landscape and think of it only occasionally in passing, and never take action against it.

"The Outbursts of Everett True" without Everett True. Exactly what we need when we run out of cartoons.

True minus True? False?
