A place to appreciate the twentieth century comic character Everett True of "The Outbursts of Everett True." Feel free to check out the sticky.
Printed 110 years ago today in The Day Book. Image cleaned up, see the original.
Found on the Library of Congress site.

Came here to mention this was three and a half years after the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. There is zero doubt this is a result of that.
