I’m not getting it, does he check to see of he’s dreaming because he directed him to a competitor? And then is polite because of it?
He’s not just being polite but he made the conscious decision that this store is the one he wants to support because they were willing to lose revenue in order to help the customer.
I also wondered, so thanks for explaining it.
Ok.
I’m lost now. Somebody, please, explain.
Does he value the honesty of the shopkeeper that much, that he then, instead of going to the competitors store, buys whole lot of the “wrong type” of peaches from the honest seller?
That, plus it’s quite a subversion, as every single other Everett True comic ends with him absolutely pulverising someone because he pissed him off.
Everett a real one.
I feel like some folks are getting the wrong idea about our lovable rageaholic with these recent strips…
I’m really enjoying these. They show that he isn’t just about beating anybody up but he actually has a code that he lives by. If he beats up everyone, he’s just 1980s Heathcliff. By offering these counter examples, we see a much more complex person.
Out of all the dudes that are nearly a 100 I think I would like to hang out with Everett the most.
The comic started in 1905, so he’s actually 119!
Good lord, I wonder if the character is public domain now?
He is.
