I just dug this out of the paper, this morning: a feature by Everett True’s creator that was new to me!
Unpopular Science is a feature from 1910 by our old friend A.D. Condo. He continues to show the streak of humanist moralism that we know from Everett True, with even more of a focus on self-improvement. It may be bad science, but it makes for a funny feature that may inspire you to get some stuff done around the house.

Hullo, visitors! It’s been years since this site has received the love it deserves from its curators, but we’re in the process of applying our affections as we speak.
In the meantime, please hit those social media links at the top of the page! We’re very active on Twitter, these days, so come check us out over there!
We’ve been hosting the print’n’play files here on Barnacle Press for a while, now, but I’m happy to announce that now there’s an easier way for you to get your hands on a copy of this vaudeville-themed boardgame, as designed by your faithful comic concierge. It’s being published by Game Salute, and the Kickstarter campaign is live, now!
It’s a really great game, if I’m allowed to say so! It’s accessible enough for families, but there’s enough depth in it to reward serious gamers. And it’s filled to the brim with that wonderful turn-of-the-(last)-century goodness that I know Barnacle Press fans love!
And if the vaudeville theme and fun gameplay wasn’t enough to interest you, there’s the fantastic illustration work, done by Adam Koford. Adam, also known online as Ape Lad, does a great web comic called LOL Cats, in addition to his job drawing pictures for a li’l company called Disney. He’s also done work for American Greetings, Boing Boing, the Daily Show, and MAD Magazine (!!!). Having him bring life to my design is absolutely wonderful; I think y’all’ll dig it!
So check out the Kickstarter page, and if you like what you’re seein’, hop on board!

An unusual departure for today’s Everett Truesday feature, Everett True’s Correspondence gives our favorite curmudgeon vigilante a forum from which to dispense his own brand of advice. By “his own brand”, of course, you’ll read “violence-laden”. Start with the example above and proceed forward to get an eyeful of Ev’s problem-solving abilities…
