Another Covidtoon: The Outbursts of Everett True

"For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise" the Bible says...but not if you’re Everett True, the cartoon creation of the great (but often neglected) A. D. Condo. 


Condo drew the Outbursts of Everett True in the early half of the last century (1905-1927). In each cartoon True would blast someone who annoyed him (and lots of things annoyed True). In this example, during the pandemic of 1918, True takes on an anti-Masker.





The remarkable Condo also created a cartoon panel, Mr. Skygack from Mars, about a Martian visitor who came to Earth to observe and record human behavior. That was a feature that he created in 1907 (!) and still worth checking out.
