OUTBURSTS OF EVERETT TRUE BY CONDO

Everett True: “DO YOU THINK IT IMPROVES THE ORCHESTRA MUSIC BY THUMPING TIME TO IT WITH YOUR FEET? IT DOES NOT!”

Everett True is angrily addressing a man sitting next to him at an orchestra performance. Everett has a stern look and is raising his clenched fist striking the man. The man being addressed looks startled and scared, with his mouth open in surprise and one hand raised defensively. Two other onlookers are visible, both watching the scene unfold with a look of mild amusement.

    Someone needs to draw Everett in the present day, contending with loudly talkative hipsters at gigs or shoulder girlfriends at music festivals.

      Panel 1, Everett has pulled over to assist a driver whose vehicle has flipped into a ditch. The driver is half-emerged through the window, dazed but alive, holding his head and gazing up at True, who is scowling. “Lucky young man,” says True, “that I happened along when I did. Allow me to assist.”

      Panel 2, same layout, but Everett is in action. His foot stamps down and crushes the cellphone lying next to the driver, and he has brought down his umbrella on the prone driver’s head. “Luckier still you didn’t kill anyone else because you were too busy texting to pay attention to the road!”

        There are no police, there is only Everett, in a fallen world in need of a hero. Mrs. True is a heroine\vigilante, too.

    Mr. True apparently believes that violence is the answer to every aggravation and social ill.

      I can see it as a bit of catharsis on behalf of the artist, just airing grievances and letting off steam. But yeah, it does feel a bit much sometimes, particularly when we’re see the comics in rapid succession like this.
