I’m not 100% sure on the 1908 but it was early on in a book that was from 1908-1913 so it feels right. If someone can confirm one way or the other, I’ll update.

      They’re a series of comics from the early 1900s that showcase Everett being an extreme personification of the social contract. He is never actually in the right because of his extreme violence but the joke itself is often his extreme reaction to often minor problems.

      He also is very against major problems like animal violence and so on but most of the comics are for things like being overly sarcastic or sitting next to the only woman in an otherwise empty train car or taking too long to order your drink.

    Reminds me of getting behind people at McDonald’s who finally get to the counter and act like they don’t know what they want.

    • You couldn’t have been thinking about this before it was your turn?
    • The menu hasn’t changed in twenty years.

    Thankfully you can just use an app or a kiosk so you don’t get stuck behind these people anymore. Also grateful to not have to wait for someone to write a check at the grocery these days.
