I just found this "21st Century" homage to Everett True, and it could just as easily have been from his own time.

That's the Something Positive guy. He's into old newspaper comics. I think he's drawing Popeye now too.

Yes he is and I love Something Positive. First time I heard someone reference him. That comic been our long time and great story line.

I used to read his comic about a decade ago, but fell off. I was reminded of him because I re- listened to the Behind the Bastards episode with him talking about how Dilbert creator Scott Addams lost his mind.

Holy shit, the fact that the term muzzle was used even back then is shocking. Idiots never change

Do you think the idiots this time around didn't copy the memes from the first time around?

Pretty sure dumbos like that aren't too creative.

He was the spokesperson we needed.

I'm surprised I never saw this one anywhere when the pandemic was in full swing. I found it in an article that said it was an "editorial cartoon," but there's no mistaking Mr. True.

There is no mistaking the face of ire justice.

Everett True, the patron saint of ire and justice.
