Printed 112 years ago today in The Seattle Star. Image cleaned up, especially on the letters, see the original.

Looks like someone had basically the same idea at the same time with another character, only the punchline was that "nobody" challenged the thing instead of Everett (forcefully) doing it

"nobody" challenged the thing

Funny that it relies on a wordplay that is similar to the "nobody" phrasal template meme.
