    The author of this strip had seriously bi-polar swings between good and evil. This dude can be both misogynistic and yet defend women. He can be racist and yet anti-racist. I don’t really understand.

      Turns out that

      • August Derleth (of Cthulhu fame) tracked down Condo in his retirement, according to The Capital Times of Madison, Wisconsin on Nov 28, 1948 Page 4 - see image below.
      • A Capital Times article on Wed, Jan 17, 1951 Page 12 says that Derleth planned to publish a collection of old and new comics.
      • Finally, The Wisconsin Historical Archives has “4 oversize folders” of “Pen and ink drawings, 1948-1949, 1953-1954, by cartoonist A.D. (Armundo Dreisbach) Condo, featuring the character Everett True.” (but… I imagine you have to actually go to Wisconsin and convince them to let you see them…)
