i was going to say "hey let a man pose"，but I'm living in a beach town right now and there's no joke literally 100 people posing with selfies and photo shoots every afternoon, so I at least empathize with Everett here.

and don't worry, I am photobombing everyone to be Instagram model I can.
- Keep it up, you should get a grant from your town, photobombing is a public art form, like chalk drawings or sand sculptures.
  
  i like this. i can't tell if your serious but i am now considering the practicality of applying for a photobombing grant.
- I guess that means this comic was 100 years ahead of its time. Otherwise, this one seems a bit out of line to me too.
  
  a lot of these true comics are unexpectedly prescient.
  
  or maybe they're just making me realize how close our problems are to those of a century ago
Everett needs to relax, maybe break the pill in half next time or something
- Our man Everett lived before reliable, pharmaceutical grade antipsychotic medication. Instead, he should get himself into a dime bag of weed and just laugh at the clowns posing on the beach. Physically abusing a poser won't make them stop - laughing at them would.
  
  He needs some of that cough syrup with chloroform, alcohol, morphine, and cannabis.
Why is violence his answer to every slight, real or imagined?
- it's a chronicle of his outbursts
The woman in the background who's forced to wear tights to the beach...
- Still more comfortable than what Muslim women have to wear 😐
I've been watching too much RuPaul's drag race, thought for a second that "sickening" was meant as a compliment...
