Two panel comic strip shows Everett True in a butcher shop, after receiving his parcel he beckons the butcher, when the butcher returns True pushes his head down to the counter so he can get a closer look at the change he has left after the transaction. True asks the butcher if, perhaps, he shouldn't "wrap up the change, too?" He complains that "it's all smeared over with blood and grease" and tells him to "Clean it off!!!"

I was going to say we just found out Mr True's first name, but then I realised it's Everett. But then who is James...

I'm not 100% sure on the 1908 but it was early on in a book that was from 1908-1913 so it feels right. If someone can confirm one way or the other, I'll update.
