@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.

@clark True is ahead of his time and on the right side of the issue so much that it's a bummer when he's neither one.

@Gradually_Adjusting @Fredselfish Different norms around *comedy* violence. Actual Everett True level violence would get you jailed then or now!

@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.

@LodeMike @The_Picard_Maneuver ain't the first time, won't be the last

@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

@clark sometimes he's just an asshole..... early Everett comics, he was nothing *but* an asshole

@Rolando the moment you said that, somewhere in the universe an Everett True comic retroactively sprung into existence in which he has a fursuit and beats the shit about somebody who bullies furries

@Rolando wow. Just keeps on getting more decent and progressive.
