    Making the world a better place by brutally murdering anyone who’s slightly misbehaving, one at a time.

        I wouldn’t expect there to be any since him attacking shitty people is a match for the comic’s title.

      I am absolutely loving these for showing someone in the early 1900s was making art about how absolutely shitty people were.

      On the downside it is clear that society has learned nothing.

        Not just art. They were making memes. Every strip has the same structure: Everett makes a statement of common decency, some random dude disagrees, then Everett physically assault the random dude. This is literally a meme template, from the early 1900s.

        Question is: will the meme evolve in a similar fashion that we see modern memes evolve? Or does the fact that it has a single author prevent this natural evolution?

        I’ve heard it as late as the 2000s from boomers, so it’s not completely died out. Shit I’ve known people who aren’t Mike pence that called their spouse “mother” and “father”, though that’s usually only silent and greatest generation, so that’s largely gone.

        I know a guy who addresses his wife as Woman. It started as a joke and stuck. She loves it. When he needs to get her attention in a public place he just shouts, “Woman!” and she cheerfully responds. It gets great reactions from people who don’t know.
