any of the shitty ones to share just to let us know how much awesome work you are doing for curation?

Here are a couple that have amusing lore, but that I didn't think were worth posting. I wouldn' call them "shitty", just not as relateable and because of that they're not as amusing. For example, the first one involves mailing a photo, which isn't something we do much any more; the equivalent would be maybe something like sending a friend request:

  • Everett True has a nephew called "J. Basil True", who is pictured in the Daily East Oregonian on Sept 27 1919.
  • there's a comic from The Day Book of September 27 1915 that doesn't seem to show Everett at all... unless Everett is the baby! This is one of Everett's earliest Outbursts.
  • Everett True was skinny when he got married, according to The Seattle Star of Oct 1, 1916.
  • Evertt True has a cousin from Kokomo, according to The Daily East Oregonian of October 7, 1919.
