A fairly hilarious collection of simple, one-or-two-panel comics with the razor-sharp idea of having a protagonist who takes the daily annoyances we all internally swallow, and instead of learning to ignore of forgive or understand them, Everett True reacts against them loudly and violently.

Many of these are timeless situations: talking to blowhards, observing littering in public, overuse of hackneyed cliches, disrespect for other people’s time. You know some small part of you wants to punch a person who stops right in the middle of a narrow hallway to have a conversation—well, Everett proceeds to punch them, indeed.

As you might expect from a 1910s comic, some of the social attitudes are not super woke. Everett is outraged at men wearing wrist watches or flashy clothes. But there’s a surprisingly persistent note of progressive attitudes, too: obeying pandemic protocol, being kind to animals, the importance of voting, manspreading on public transit, bad cops and gun control.
