      Some of them may be hit and miss, they are from a different time.

      The important thing to remember is Everett is a caricature and not a human being. He represents a specific type of exaggerated feelings that many people at some point experience but usually not express or act out on.

      In an ironic way the people who are getting annoyed by his character are often expressing the same kind of feeling as Everett represents.

      It would be nice to see a comic where he punches the artist self in a sense of self-awareness though.

        The part I find remarkable is how far we’ve slid backwards in the last century. I don’t see a modern version of this narrative being run in contemporary US papers.

          A 2020s Everett True would be mostly him throwing a succession of mobile phones and computers through walls, in a perfectly understandable response to website/app dark patterns and the like.
