Darthemed posted:I've honestly been looking forward to war-time Everett True, out of curiosity as to how big of an rear end in a top hat he could be. We're off to a good start. Jingoism was (and is) real nasty, and it is sad to see in good ol' Everett True.

Slammy posted:Outbursts of Everett True Goddamn it Everett, no. That's just loving wrong, man. For reference, Everett once beat a man to death for making fun of an Italian immigrant who couldn't speak English very fluently while saying, "How well do you speak his language?"

An iPhone 6 has at minimum 16 GB fast flash storage, 1 GB RAM, a 64-bit CPU running at 1.1 GHz and a graphics set driving 1330x750 graphics. A DEC PDP-11, for example, used reel to reel tape storage with at most about 100MB capacity, 256kB RAM, a 16-bit CPU running at 3 MHz, and no graphics capability.

Secret Agent X-9  I could barely read most of that, and not at all some of it. I can only imagine it was worse in newsprint in 1936. Maybe it was printed bigger though.

I think the last time it was posted, posters got all upset about the blind jingoism, but I'm excited to see the history there. Though I love any True comics wherein he brutalizes a person on a train or trolley, my favorite True comic is the one where he beats a man for evening suggesting an economic depression might occur. Anyone have that handy?

The drumbeating for war stuff is bad enough, but it also clashes with pre-1917 strips where True gets annoyed at people blathering on endlessly about the war and tends to knock them about. I swear there was even one where he clocks some chickenhawk who's going on about how quickly thing's be over in America only got involved.

The artist would probably have been arrested or at least lost his job if he continued that tone after we entered the war. The entire country basically lost its mind in 1917- you had stuff like the director of a film about the Revolutionary War being arrested under the new Espionage Act for being anti-British. Only the social side people went berserk on the German-American community and basically destroyed much of its identity. We only regained some of our sanity after the war, and the backlash kept us out of the League of Nations, arguably making things worse in the long term.

I swear there was even one where he clocks some chickenhawk who's going on about how quickly thing's be over in America only got involved. It is interesting to see the change in True. The comics I'm posting now are from late 1917, early 1918. Right in the thick of it. I wish I could say I did it on purpose for comparison - but it's only because I found a more reliable source. Speaking of which - there are many days that go by without an Everett True comic - it's still pretty random. Can you imagine if a paper today missed even ONE Mary Worth?
