OUTBURSTS OF EVERETT TRUE By Condo

(Panel 1) A man in a long coat and hat is speaking to Everett True. The man appears to be trying to justify his actions, gesturing with his hands and referencing the Bible. Everett True, dressed in his usual heavy coat and hat, stands listening, looking unimpressed.

Man: "AND SO, EVERETT, I INSIST THAT MY ACTION IN THE MATTER WAS WHOLLY JUSTIFIABLE. AS YOU KNOW, IT SAYS IN THE BIBLE THAT ..."

(Panel 2) Everett True is seen aggressively shoving the man into a large wooden crate, causing the man to fall back, losing his hat in the process. The force of Everett's push has busted the crate open, and the man appears to be tumbling inside. Everett stands in the foreground, having just completed the push, with an assertive posture.

Everett True: "I CAN ALWAYS TELL WHEN YOU'RE IN A TIGHT PLACE! YOU FALL BACK ON MISQUOTING THE SCRIPTURES!! FALL BACK ON SOMETHING ELSE FOR A CHANGE!!!"

When the holy writings are manipulated for a man's purpose, they cease being objects of divine deliverance, becoming just another one of man's tools. Man can supercede his 'god' for the price of a mere decision. How powerful are these gods, really?
