I originally wasn't planning on posting today but I stumbled upon this one that's too good not to share. I'll be back next time with another arc!

In addition to breaking bones, True now breaks the 4th wall!

Ah yes, the very new and modern style of humor known as self referential meta-comedy.

I wonder if Teddy's style caught on. This comic is from 1907 and the Spanish American War was in 1898. Maybe everyone thought Teddy looked so cool that his style became popular!

Wtf is up with the dithered face when everything else is hand inked?

You gotta assume it's the actual face of the author pasted in from a photograph, right?

That's a image of Condo's face, I love the surreality, Everett looks more human than his creator.
