What I find interesting is that the math nerd is already cowering as he states these factoids.

Therefore, we can assume that he has already done something to raise the ire of Mr True, and was hoping that quoting statistics might save him.

This scenario is way funnier than the one the artist probably intended for lmao

I bet Everett was eating a meal with this dude, just scowling and chomping away. So this poor bastard brings up an interesting factoid to cut the silence, and Everett threatens him with assault and battery.

So far, all I know about Everett is that he doesn’t like abuse of horses or dogs, but he also just doesn’t like people interacting with him in general.

Which does shed light on what general morality people thought of animal treatment back then, as opposed to the often poor practices we hear about historically. I guess there’s a bit of anti-intellectualism here, which is sad but understandable for the time. Almost reassuring to see that there were always anti-intellectuals trying to stop progress in their own way.

But also, I wonder what views Everett might have on race, pricing, capitalism, socialism, etc. I think he leans pro-union though. Considering the time period, that’s probably fairly popular. Since really it’s just the voice of the cartoonist and I assume a segment of the population. Since this was really the early 1900s, it’s fascinating seeing what people thought back then.

That seems unlikely. The moon orbits at an average distance of 384,400 km (238,900 mi), about 30 times the diameter of Earth.

Assuming a loaf is 15in/38cm long, that’s ~10,000 loafs. Assuming True is 55 or 60, that’s ~4 loafs a week. Maybe not an average person but given his figure it might be possible for him lol

Pretty sure your math is a little off. Like by several orders of magnitude.
