    I’m not getting it, does he check to see of he’s dreaming because he directed him to a competitor? And then is polite because of it?

      He’s not just being polite but he made the conscious decision that this store is the one he wants to support because they were willing to lose revenue in order to help the customer.

    Ok.

    I’m lost now. Somebody, please, explain.

    Does he value the honesty of the shopkeeper that much, that he then, instead of going to the competitors store, buys whole lot of the “wrong type” of peaches from the honest seller?

      That, plus it’s quite a subversion, as every single other Everett True comic ends with him absolutely pulverising someone because he pissed him off.

        Maybe the intent is victim blaming: the people in the other strips wouldn’t’ve been pulverised if they’d just been nicer people…

    Out of all the dudes that are nearly a 100 I think I would like to hang out with Everett the most.

          “The Outbursts of Everett True” is likely in the public domain. This comic strip was created by A.D. Condo and J.W. Raper, and it first appeared in 1905. Works published in the United States before 1924 are generally in the public domain.

          Here are some key points to confirm its public domain status:

          1. Publication Date: Since “The Outbursts of Everett True” was first published in 1905, it falls well before the 1924 cutoff.

          2. Copyright Term: For works published before 1924, the original copyright term would have been 28 years, renewable for another 28 years, totaling a possible 56 years. Even if renewed, this would have expired by 1961.

          3. Public Domain Confirmation: Typically, works published over 95 years ago are in the public domain unless there are specific reasons why their copyright might have been extended beyond the normal terms, which is uncommon for early 20th-century works.

          Therefore, “The Outbursts of Everett True” should be in the public domain based on its original publication date.

    I feel like some folks are getting the wrong idea about our lovable rageaholic with these recent strips…

      I’m really enjoying these. They show that he isn’t just about beating anybody up but he actually has a code that he lives by. If he beats up everyone, he’s just 1980s Heathcliff. By offering these counter examples, we see a much more complex person.
