    Ah, reacting to neurodivergent behaviour with violence, now that takes me back to my childhood and parents, the good old times.

      Not only are we Everett lovers, but also Everett critics. Let’s use this comic as an example of what not to do in the future.

        Yupp, the very fact it is still a product of its time is the main reason I find the strips that still feel so very relevant today utterly fascinating. Everett remains the hero we need in our times, with only a little bit of a catch-up to the current day.

      Everett comes across like the ND to me. Poor emotional regulation, dismeasured responses in social situations, intolerance to little issues people around him don’t seem bothered about. You can see it both ways.

      Everett is always reacting violently to stuff that people see as annoying.

      Take the guy laughing at labour day and getting decked for it. Everett isn’t punishing the social status, but the shown attitude. In a comic that is the only way to portrait a way of thinking, but still, thinking about punishing those in charge is on the reader.

      This comic does hit different when ones’ own features are targeted. I can understand people that think of me as annoying, but then again, I got off lightly compared to others.

        I mean, sort of. Not on its own, and as always, every kind of ND-behaviour is also something found in neurotypicals, only in different contexts and with different intensity and frequency. But yeah, doing it compulsively, maybe even without noticing it, is a form of self-stimulatory behaviour.

    I’m starting to think this fellow might just be a bit of an asshole. He seems to spend 100% of his time assaulting people.

      Nah, he’s just an extremely short tempered guy. Small annoyance? Violence. Intrusive thoughts? Violence

    This one right here. I hated it when customers come in and drum their fingers on the counter while checking them out. Annoying as hell.
