Context: yeah, this is pretty fucking gross, the 1920s were also the tail end of the Spanish flu which killed some 20-50 million people out of a world population of 1.5 billion.
So yeah, hard to disagree with Everett here.
opensneezing is one of the extremely few common societal violations l have a problem with.
i will occasionally tell the opensneezer to cover their mouths If their barbaric explosion of phlegm and germs is violent and close enough to me.
as you can imagine, this advice is well liked and accompanied by universal thunderous applause.
I've been meaning to take that movie ad for "Oppenheimer" where he's standing in the middle of an explosion, and replace the movie title with "Opensneezer" and the image of the donut guy in this comic. But I never got around to it...
that was a great idea.
how's this, I was so infuriated by the sneeze that my eyes skimmed right over the donuts and just assumed he was getting popcorn.
it's even funnier realizing Everett true was buying about two dozen donuts for breakfast.
It should be socially acceptable to Sparta kick them down a hallway.
Didn't like that? Cover your fucking sneeze holes.
I don't have any problem with this, it's a fair solution.
Based.
The comics about the Spanish flu really hits hard nowadays
A place to appreciate the twentieth century comic character Everett True of "The Outbursts of Everett True." Feel free to check out the sticky.
