The Outbursts of Everett True

The Outbursts of Everett True

"The Outbursts of Everett True" (originally named "A Chapter from the Career of Everett True") was a two-panel newspaper comic strip created by A.D. Condo and J.W. Raper that ran from 1905 until 1927, when Condo was obliged to abandon it for health reasons. Two contemporary collections appeared in 1907 and 1921 and the strip languished forgotten until 1983 when one of the collections was reprinted and comic book writer Tony Isabella in collaboration with various artists employed him in a new strip which ran in the Comics Buyer's Guide and the Comics Journal in which Everett directed his renowned outbursts at comic book artists, writers, publishers and distributors.

Comic strip

The original strip revolved around a portly, ill-tempered man named Everett True who was invariably dressed in a suit and bowler hat of antiquated and comical appearance for the time. The first panel of each strip generally had someone inconveniencing or annoying True; in the second panel, True exacted his revenge by either berating or (if confronting a man) pummelling the offender. The only character who occasionally turned the tables on True was his wife, who appeared occasionally to berate or beat him for some unacceptable behavior.

Adaptations

The American Bioscope Company made a series of silent short movies featuring Everett True, the first of which, "Everett True Breaks Into The Movies" was released in 1916, starring Robert Bolder as Everett and Paula Reinbold as Mrs True. [cite web
