@DaddleDew @clark it’s like in Silver Age comic book covers, where Batman or Mister Fantastic will summarize the whole plot of the comic for the spinner-rack-browsing kids, while throwing a single punch
@LodeMike @The_Picard_Maneuver ain’t the first time, won’t be the last
@verity_kindle @clark Everett is canonically embarrassed by being publicly reminded of the sweet lovey-doveys he used to say to Mrs. True when they were courting. If they still speak that way privately to each other, we have divined the background to this strip.
@Gradually_Adjusting @Fredselfish Different norms around *comedy* violence. Actual Everett True level violence would get you jailed then or now!
@mojofrododojo @makeshiftreaper not exactly. Everett is *never ever* physically violent with his wife, like he is with other people. He’s an inconsiderate dick to her, but when that happens she’s the one that wallops him.
Actually I don’t think he’s *ever* violent with women, the way he is with men? Sometimes women are the target of his “outbursts” but he never whacks them with umbrellas or throws them out of the window of a moving train or anything.
@Bougie_Birdie @clark Everett’s pretty damn petty sometimes, this is his karma coming back to bite him.
