[Their posture] reminds me of the Bane vs Pink Guy meme.

ADDENDUM: Oops I missed a couple, all from 1915:

• Everett True objects to the manager - OK, probably wouldn’t be selected
• Everett True doesn’t like a gossip - not bad. Might be a selection candidate, though probably woudln’t make the final cut
• Everett True objects to the manager - duplicate of the above, (i.e. same comic but in a different newspaper)
• Everett True doesn’t like a gossip - duplicate
• Everett True doesn’t like a gossip - another duplicate

Hey so what is this cognitive development that I may have missed out on? I tried googling but nothing comes up. Can you point me to some reading about this? Or some term to search for? Thanks.

Sorry fam I didn’t mean it that way, I’ve just learned to be suspicious.

If Garf and Jon fight to the death, my money’s on Garf.

The IRB rejects your experiment for not being unethical enough.

Wait, what? I don’t think I got the memo on that one. This isn’t some “manosphere” thing, is it?

In The Metaverse^™ they will! (…for a price…)

ikr a lot of people go to Church events for “safer” socializing, even if they only attend the services on Christmas and Easter if that. If you’re Catholic or Orthodox, it’s more like a cultural thing. (this may vary by area. Also it’s not really safer, but your grandmother will say it is.)

Couchsurfing got me great friends, girlfriends and eventually my wife.

I should totally try that. It’d be like: “Honey? How long is Rolando going to be staying on our couch? He spends all his time on his laptop giggling at that weird website full of communists and furries…” / “I don’t know… Let’s… Let’s set him up with that friend of yours, I bet that’ll get him out of here!”

And plus, once you do have a relationship, it’ll be a lot stronger because you won’t desperately need to be in that relationship at any costs.

Office Cat! Makes me happy every time I see it. I’m pretty sure it was a syndicated column of thoughts and observations by “Junius” whose real name might have been “Edgar Allan Moss.” I haven’t tracked down much more info, though.

Oh, that makes sense, about the phone operator. The thing is, when I’m looking at these comics I’m not spending too much time on the first pass. (Plus, I’m usually watching a movie at the same time.) Well, sometimes a detail will catch me and then I’ll spend the next half-hour going down a rabbithole. Anyway, when I’ve narrowed it down to 4-5 I’ll look at each of them a lot closer.

Wah! Sounds painful! That’s it, I’m cutting down my meat intake for sure.

Lean on your irl friends for help with the stress. As far as the hobbies/projects/interests… there’s nothing really wrong with trying a hobby, finding out it isn’t really for you, then doing something else.

Have also provided the footage to police to prove that said neighbor who stole stuff assaulted another neighbor in the street since the camera covers the driveway.

The problem is: the very next step is “why don’t you just provide a live feed of your cameras to the police?” Maybe we can start with just part of the time, like when you’re on vacation. Hey, we’ll give you a great deal on your insurance… for the first year.

I picture this as someone who goes to church a lot, reads romance novels, bakes awesome cookies, and says things like “sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays!”

Here are a couple that have amusing lore, but that I didn’t think were worth posting. I wouldn’ call them “shitty”, just not as relateable and because of that they’re not as amusing. For example, the first one involves mailing a photo, which isn’t something we do much any more; the equivalent would be maybe something like sending a friend request:

• Everett True has a nephew called “J. Basil True”, who is pictured in the Daily East Oregonian on Sept 27 1919.
• there’s a comic from The Day Book of September 27 1915 that doesn’t seem to show Everett at all… unless Everett is the baby! This is one of Everett’s earliest Outbursts.
• Everett True was skinny when he got married, according to The Seattle Star of Oct 1, 1916.
• Evertt True has a cousin from Kokomo, according to The Daily East Oregonian of October 7, 1919.

They can only become mortal again if they transmit their curse of immortality to a loved one.

Gotta make that cheddar.
