This comic came out in October 1907. For example, it was printed in The Seattle Star on October 18, 1907.

"The Outbursts of Everett True" isn't a comic strip in Everett's home town, it's just an update of his activities.

No wonder those kids show so much temper, they're infants with old man faces.

I like the one that's angrily shaking his fist. A real chip off the ol' block!

She really went for the archetypical comic: man talks to Everett, gets beaten with umbrella

Umbrellas were sturdier in those days
