Did you get a tax refund and you're looking to splurge on some art? Well, I owe more than I estimated, more than I have, so I need to make some quick funds by Monday. (I am not actually going to go to jail.......... I don't think so anyway.)

The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.

I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he “regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,” I have a strong spiritual connection with him.

I’m very lucky to own a book that’s a collection of most of these comics (sadly not all of them) and would highly recommend hunting these down if you can. Sorry for the lack of a scanner but phone photos will just have to do.

He was a enjoyable cuss who didn’t care for war mongering.

Especially profitable war mongering and excuses for it!

He certainly didn’t like selfish husbands and fathers!

Politicians who turned on their words once they got theirs weren’t safe.

He said fuck the police!

He absolutely didn’t like people ruining little things for kids.

He stood up for foreigners. Especially those doing their best to communicate with limited second language knowledge.

He was not having any tomfoolery when it came to gun safety and laws. Especially with youth involved.

You had better not abuse a animal with him nearby. He’d right that wrong real quick!

And best of all him and his wife were both prickly cusses together. Relationship goals.

It’s nice to see a fat dude in a political cartoon that’s NOT being used as shorthand for greed and corruption.

Reblogging this newer version of this thread with so many more strips I haven’t seen…why did this character ever disappear. Where did you go, Everett.

[tramampoline]

we need him more than ever…

flashback: TAZ animatic

[note: this has been sitting in my drafts since August 13, 2017. why, I’m not sure; I’m guessing I was ashamed of doing fanart. sure, I didn’t come up with the idea, but I’m still running it through my filter. hopefully I’ll believe that someday. until then, I’m still proud of the work I did — it will serve me in good stead for future CSP animation work — and the other TAZ animatic I did a few days later.]

so I did kind of a big thing today. for me, anyway. actually, I did two big things: I caught up on a long-running podcast, and I did an animation of audio from that podcast.

the last thing I remember being so emotionally involved in before The Adventure Zone was Homestuck. it took several tries, but eventually I was off to the races, drawing troll fanart and dissecting plot points. the same thing happened with TAZ: I listened to the first ten episodes, then just dropped off. it wasn’t until a few months ago that I started over and stayed with it. I’d listen to it when I hit the garden, and later on, my cubicle. I filled my sketchbook with notes as things slowly came together. I fell in love with Griffin’s sublime musical abilities, listening over and over. I ate up whatever animatics I could without falling prey to spoilers. then today, I made my own.

it might seem only natural for a cartoonist and illustrator to take up animation. not this one; I didn’t have the patience, nor the capacity to look at the big picture. plus Flash can suck a hot, wet fart. but TAZ animatics are messy and unpolished, pumping out just enough art to give life to a storyline. this, maybe, I could do. I delved into the animation tools of Clip Studio Paint and Davinci Resolve, and holy shit, I made something where there wasn’t something before. it’s not much, but it’s something. TAZ made me want to do it, and for that, I’m forever grateful.

two things:

1. I met my first bf playing Quake online. he made me a Quake map with text triggers as I walked around. he put in a key in it that was marked as the key to his heart. it's still one of the sweetest things a guy has done for me.

2. my friend was having a kid. he's a huge Star Trek nerd, so I crocheted him a USS Enterprise mobile. soon after that, we had a communication misfire, and I stopped talking to him. a few days later, I happened to see a comic strip he did that had a familiar-looking mobile in the background. he didn't have to put it in there; I don't know if anyone else would have known what it was. I don't even know if he knew I was pissed at him. but there it was saying hi, even if I wasn't.
