Hello everetters,

For a while I've been thinking about transcribing the comics I post so more people can enjoy them, but I've never actually transcribed before so I could use some pointers.

I'm very bad at describing anything that isn't dialogue, and I'm unsure if transcribing solely the dialogue is sufficient to get the message across, so maybe with somebody with more experience could voluntarily transcribe the comics at their own convenience? In which case, I would post their transcription in the text body.

If anybody got any suggestions / advice on how to transcribe actions and environment, or if you want to voluntarily transcribe some comics posted here, feel free to let me know in the comments.

Cheers!

Welcome to c/truecomics (midwest.social)

Hi y'all,

Just wanted to sticky this to let y'all know that this community exists and I am the moderator (also of !madmax@midwest.social). I don't want to be the only one posting so I hope y'all post your favourite True strips in here as well. Also some simple rules:

  1. This place is only for the posting of Everett True comics by Condo,
  2. Please try posting the most high quality image of a comic excerpt,
  3. If you can, post the publication date of the comic strip, otherwise type either nothing or (date unknown).

Okay Everett lovers let's get this twentieth century party started

OUTBURSTS OF EVERETT TRUE BY CONDO

Everett True: "DO YOU THINK IT IMPROVES THE ORCHESTRA MUSIC BY THUMPING TIME TO IT WITH YOUR FEET? IT DOES NOT!"

Everett True is angrily addressing a man sitting next to him at an orchestra performance. Everett has a stern look and is raising his clenched fist striking the man. The man being addressed looks startled and scared, with his mouth open in surprise and one hand raised defensively. Two other onlookers are visible, both watching the scene unfold with a look of mild amusement.

OUTBURSTS OF EVERETT TRUE

DRAWN FOR THE HERALD COURIER BY CONDO

(Panel 1)

Boat announcer speaking: The next boat for Oakland Pier connects with Train Number 21, for...

Two men are sitting on a bench. One man (Everett True) is large and wearing a dark coat. The other man is small and dressed in a light-colored suit with a hat. The small man is staring intently at a third man.

(Panel 2)

Everett True: It's very plain, mister, that the man sitting opposite has lost an arm, and it's plain also that your staring annoys him!!! Why not ogle me?—I've lost my temper!!!

Everett True kicks the man in the light-colored suit off the bench. The man is thrown to the ground with his hat flying off.

Much obliged @paraphrand@lemmy.world!

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!!!"
