Appeared in the Seattle Star on Sept 10, 1914, 110 years ago today.
I thought they had morphine back then, maybe they didn't give him enough.

From the Seattle Star September 9, 1914 -- 110 years ago today.
On this day 110 years ago, the Imperial German forces began their general retreat from their major offensive into France which had led to the First Battle of the Marne. The Schlieffen Plan had failed. It's hard to get a sense of the amount of death that WWI brought, but here's a thought. The First Battle of the Marne had killed or seriously wounded well over half a million people. And in the US in 1910, only 5 cities had significantly more than half a million people. Just this one battle at the start of WWI was roughly equivalent to Cleveland, Baltimore, or Pittsburgh in that era being wiped out by a modern nuclear device.
Meanwhile in the US, Everett True was getting annoyed by a man jingling his change. Get some perspective, E!

Printed 110 years ago today in The Day Book of Chicago Illinois: https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ndnp/iune/batch_iune_golf_ver01/data/sn83045487/00280761291/1914090701/0164.pdf
Besides the two posted so far, the Library of Congress has another two E. True cartoons printed September 7, 1914:
- in The Seattle Star, he smacks down a lawyer: https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ndnp/wa/batch_wa_lacamas_ver01/data/sn87093407/0020029063A/1914090701/0276.pdf
- in The Detroit Times, he outbursts against rich people stuck in Europe due to the war: https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ndnp/mimtptc/batch_mimtptc_ingalls_ver01/data/sn83016689/00279552039/1914090701/0739.pdf

This was printed 110 years ago today, in the Tacoma Times: https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ndnp/wa/batch_wa_fir_ver01/data/sn88085187/00211108381/1914090701/0687.pdf
It was a Monday, Labor Day for that year. Elsewhere on that page is a cartoon referencing the war in Europe that had just started:
That war would eventually be called World War I. People killed or wounded: around 40 million.

This was printed in "The West Virginian" of Fairmont West Virginia 104 years ago today.
I don't know how cartoon syndication worked back then, but the Library of Congress has four E-Tru comics that came out on Sept 2 1920:
- Daily Graphic of Pine Bluff Arkansas https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ndnp/arhi/batch_arhi_littlefeat_ver01/data/sn89051168/00393343552/1920090201/0725.pdf posted here earlier today.
- The West Virginian of Fairmont West Virginia https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ndnp/wvu/batch_wvu_rollins_ver01/data/sn86072054/00415660522/1920090201/0020.pdf this one here. The original as scanned in the LOC is kinda faded, so I messed with the Contrast and Brightness a bit.
- The Daily East Oregonian of Pendleton, Oregon https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ndnp/oru/batch_oru_cooper_ver01/data/sn88086023/00295868831/1920090201/0859.pdf took me a while to figure out what this one meant
- Imperial Valley Press of El Centro California https://tile.loc.gov/storage-services/service/ndnp/curiv/batch_curiv_noblefir_ver01/data/sn92070146/00414189635/1920090201/0447.pdf a nice initial illustration, and E-Tru's post-Outburst contemplation has a fascinating grammatical structure, but I think most people would not like it. The page has a bunch of classifieds, which are always interesting.

I don't know how cartoon syndication worked back then, but this was printed in the Daily Graphic of Pine Bluff Arkansas on September 2, 1920, exactly 104 years ago today.
According to the rest of the newspaper page, there was a 49 cent sale on cloth for making kid's "back to school" clothing:
