committed to posting how problematic Mr true also can be since I’ve had some complaints

    I don’t know the context but this seems a pretty reasonable reaction to learning you’re going to be father of triplets. I’m sure that once he’s calmed down he’ll be back to fulfil his duties

      I’m not sure if many children = bad in the comic, or if it is more nuanced.

      But triplets fight on average a lot more, and imagine 3 mini Everett Trues going et eachother! I’d jump out the window too.

      The comic is called “outbursts of everett true”, not “problematics featuring everett true”.

      Hes just having one of his outbursts.

    My cousin just had triplets (and already had 2 elementary-school-aged kids) and they sure have got their hands full. Thankfully they have a lot of family support. But I’m sure their initial reaction was similar!

    If I can trauma dump for a sec, my dad has told me multiple times that the effects of racism wouldn’t be as bad if black people were better fathers.

    🙃

        It reminded me of how my dad believes that “black fathers” are bad fathers

          Well, it’s a small sample size, but the two best fathers I know are both black men. You can tell him that, but I doubt it’ll change his mind. Of course there are going to be a bunch of bad fathers in the inner cities, their lives are rife with struggles, and they have very few role models. That’s true for any race.

    Hah, he literally bursts out. I see this as more of a Face Fault, which is like a Facepalm but stronger. Obviously if he wanted to flee, turning and running would be more efficient.
