ATTENTION EVERREADIES.

You can also find comics on old newspapers that ran it. For example this one comes from the Library of Congress archive of the Ogden Standard:

Through that page you can also find a job as a stenographer with a cement company, or a 3-room apartment for rent ($35!), or "two milch cows" for sale, if you happen to be in Ogden UT in 1920.

I urge you to look for additional comics and post them.

That's why you gotta carry a decoy pen

Decoy in your pocket, real pen tucked into your sock.

I wouldn't consider in your sock "first class condition"

if true were on the other side he'd have killed by now

My random guy on the street, if you have the ability to ask a question, I wish you would actually phrase it like a question.

That's me and my Pilot G2s

My office got a box of .38 G2s recently as opposed to our usual .7 or 1.0 and made sure to snag 8 of them and hide them in a couple spots at my desk as they slowly vanish

Every time I have to use one of the .7s now it's just not the same

He got burned one too many times I guess

Just glad this didn't turn out like the Joe Pesci "pen scene" in Casino: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5V1dKqCvRjE

Joe Pesci would’ve made a fantastic Everett True in a live action flick.
