I read it as "taking over the garage to use as a practice space" being what he wouldn't allow, though given the comic at hand your reading seems far more plausible than it otherwise might.

Some comics have this weird Boomeresque view of authority: Dustin's dad can still treat him like a feckless teenager even though he's a college graduate. Dethany from On The Fastrack has to absorb every insult and misuse of power from her nightmare of a boss, who cruelly tells her to her face that she must be wearing her hair like that because she loved the attention last time. The characters in Luann turn into little Mussolinis with the slightest hint of power (art TA, residence assistant) while treating a needy child as a wearisome nuisance who should just shut up and sit quietly in a corner until needed.

I thought the first one was just some weird "ha ha boy they drew that awkwardly" thing but no, this dude is definitely trying to get Luann to look at his dick.

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.
It's worth mentioning that this wasn't (primarily) because they were anarchists or unionists, but because the IWW was vocally opposed to the war. One of their members had already been lynched for his antiwar statements, and a further one hundred and sixty of them had received significant jail terms for conspiracy to hinder the draft and conspiracy to encourage desertion.
Everett True constantly beats up pacifists and antiwar proponents too, so it's nothing if not consistent, but I've never quite understood why the thread keeps celebrating him this much. Establishing a strong figure who says and does what society is too polite to, "keeps the streets clean" of everyday pests and then extending the violence to political enemies here and there to normalize it is a communication tactic straight out of the fascist propaganda playbook.

I wish it was easier to get the Sam and Max comics. Unless the price dropped suddenly recently, poo poo's 'spensive.

I think I have a spare copy of Surfin' the Highway which I bought after playing the CD-ROM game in the early 90s. I of course bought the Anniversary Edition when that came out, so I could let the older copy go to a good home at a very reasonable price.

Yeah, the way those generally work is that the country's postal service respects them (atleast here in Norway.) as long as it's the official sticker you get from the postal service. (Free, just show up and ask for it. Can't ask for extra ones for other people though.)
But people get a bit confused because ads through the postal service only applies to the mass-printed stuff that doesn't have an address on it.
If companies are willing to pay a tiny bit more to slap addresses on each piece of advertisement, they'll still get delivered, as they're just normal mail at that point.

And meanwhile you'll have the companies doing newspaper and magazine deliveres do double duty as ad-delivery, and they will not give a poo poo about those stickers.
(Or just people rolling around slapping fliers out willy-nilly for free because they're doing someone a favor. But those don't make up much of the ad-volume.)

(God I've had so many angry old people wave adressed mail in my face, demanding to know why they got this _AD_!!!!!! I HAVE THE STICKER!!!!! And they rarely appreciated me explaining why they got 'em. As if it's the end of the world that they got that 1 yearly office supplies catalog or whatever.)

It's like Team Evans poked their head out of their bunker, did a single Google search on what the youths are like nowadays, and the search result told them college students are incredibly horny and also have massive anxiety. It's the only explanation I can think of for the sudden swerve of Bernice being super-horny for Jack and that bout of insecurity about measuring up to her brother and his kids.
