That’s actually kind of what popularized them, so many men were getting drafted and coming home with wristwatches that they became commonplace and were seen as manly. That and watchmakers jumped on the marketing and started calling them trench watches. Calling things trench this and trench that became quite popular at that same time.

Killer robot posted:My sister had a real fur stuffed animal as a kid, but it wasn't made out of a whole pelt or anything thankfully. Just a koala made from kangaroo fur a relative got for her in Australia. Similar to this one. My grandmother had a wombat made from real wombat skin, and also a lifesize pig made from real pig (but made to look stylized rather than taxidermy), and a stuffed owl she found in Spain that had light up eyes and for the longest time I used to have nightmares about sleeping over at her house. She also had those weird pseudo-religious paintings that had the eyes that followed you around the room and horsehair blankets dyed pink on the the guest beds. Cursed grandma sleepovers are definitely a thing.

Got to make the cop a woman so as to not look like you're criticizing cops who are white men. And now you got to make the criminal a woman too so as to not imply a female cop has any authority over men.

King Carnivore posted:FWIW, wristwatches were considered silly and pointless when they first became really popular around WWI. Particularly because the first ones were ridiculously huge, due to the fact that they were pocket watches modified with a wriststrap. They first became popular among soldiers, due to the importance of synchronizing maneuvers with artillery fire, and it was therefore also seen as silly to wear them in civilian life. In that comic the other thing Everett was mad about was that the guy with the wristwatch was also smoking a cigarette like a woman, rather than a manly pipe or cigar. I think the date of that one was 1914 or earlier, so before WW1 popularized both wristwatches and cigarettes for men. Everett True was a mixed bag overall, especially when the political came into play. He very often went off against the richly deserving, the abusive, dishonest, or inconsiderate; and often when he was in the wrong he'd be the one to get pummeled, usually by his wife. But he had some other stinkers. In addition to the wristwatch and cigarette comic, he got super jingoistic once the US entered WW1, for example, going hard against anyone anti-war or anti-draft.    For non-war content, contrasting these two:   Or this:  Or, to tie things back to the start, old Everett came around to wristwatches explicitly because OUR TROOPS:  Overall, I guess you can just say that Everett True is occasionally cursed content, but mostly because a violent misanthrope from a century ago is sure to have some yikes outlooks. Bonus:

this is the one i was going to post if it weren't included - Ghostlight posted:I just want to mention that when True refers to 'beating and tarring and feathering' here, he's referring to a specific incident that came to be known as the Tulsa Outrage, where 16 members of the IWW (plus one innocent bystander) were violently rounded up by the police from the local IWW headquarters and promptly charged and convicted of vagrancy. That night they found themselves being 'transferred' back to the IWW headquarters by police when they were 'ambushed' by a local KKK sect who then took custody of the unionists and drove them out of town where they were stripped naked, tied to a tree, then whipped before being famously tarred and feathered, and finally as they watched the KKK burn all of their clothing in a bonfire they were told to never return to town.

I still remember picking out one of those that the flavor chart said was sardine, and figuring there's no way anyone would actually make a fish-flavored jellybean. I was wrong and it was incredibly foul.
