Nice Hat/Web Comics

Examples of s in include:

"Maxim: A Hat iz a badge of honor! A Trophy vat must be plucked from off de head of a vorthy enemy! Oggie: Yah. Vun who happen to gots hyu same head size."
 * Three regulars in Charby the Vampirate: Mye, Tonius, Kavonn. Also semi-regular character Yiska.
 * Girl Genius is loaded with Nice hats...
 * The Jägermonsters of Girl Genius wear a wide variety of headgear, but whatever they wear, they take very seriously. It's implied that dead Jägers are buried with their hat. Indeed, Nice Hats are practically their hat. This makes the scene where sort of becomes "honorary Jager"... well, listen to Maxim.
 * All of this is somewhat Truth in Television, since the Jägers (and the GG Verse in general) have heavily exaggerated elements of Prussia in their role and backstory: Prussia, the kingdom that brought you this. Even the eagle on top of that hat is wearing a hat. Prussian general Gerhardt "Vorwarts!" von Blücher, having helped win the Battle of Waterloo, donned Napoleon's captured hat, thus making clear to all the world that after 23 years of constant war, it was Really Truly All Over.
 * Maxim goes hatless for some time after giving his hat to Lars. Then comes the side story, "Elsewhere: Maxim Buys A Hat", where he sets out to get a new one from "Ol' Man Death! -- De Big Guy Himself!"

"EB: but i think we need to stop and acknowledge the bunny sassacre fedora i just made. TT: It's awesome. EB: yeah."
 * Ol' Man Death's hat is, of course, a very Nice Hat on its own, even without the extra status it has just by being his.
 * See also what girls in Mamma Gkika's cabaret sing for Jägers: "...but I STILL have my HAT!"
 * Embi has a fine hat, too.
 * A throw- er, blowaway character with the radio tuner hat is listed in the cast page only as "The Idiot in an Awesome Hat". Lord Selnikov's hat is pretty epic too, though.
 * From the Girl Genius card game The Works, we have General Cannonhat and his Amazing Cannon Hat. His epaulets even have little hands to plug his ears!
 * Gilgamesh's hat takes the cake, though. Easily. It has wings, spikes, tubes, his name in big letters with "Schmott Guy!" underneath and a burner on top. Possibly the Nicest Hat ever, given by Jagers as a sign of respect. It even has a name, according to the cast page: Gil's Fabulous Hat. And someone whose job it is to take care of it.
 * Gil just doesn't appreciate it, though.
 * Even the clanks wear hats!
 * This may also have something to do with Phil Foglio's taste in accessories. His Author Stand In character is always depicted with the same black bowler. In What's New with Phil and Dixie it was scorched by an explosion, and later he lit it on fire to signify his short-lived Face Heel Turn, and his card in one of the Munchkin expansions was "Phil Foglio's Magnificent Hat". There was even a Nodwick strip where Phil's bowler somehow wound up in the dimension of the characters and gave Dumb Muscle Yeagar epic powers.
 * The Chapel Chronicles: Chapel almost always wears a hat. In Lobster Delivery, Phone Call, and Gaga Dress Code, she wears Lady Gaga hats. In Hedgehog Constitutional, she wears her own hedgehog as a hat. In A Chobits Disaster, she is wearing a hat from Azumanga Diaoh which is a representation of Chiyo-chan’s father.
 * The Continentals: Set in Victorian England 1889, the entire cast of characters in this steampunk murder, mystery, scifi adventure webcomic wear a variety of fashionable headwear of the day from tophats, to derby's, etc. The most eyecatchingly noticeable would be the gender bending, cross dressing adventress Lady Fiona Fiziwigg, who's prominent and somewhat oversized tophats have earned her the nickname "her tophattedness" by the comics readers. Find it here.
 * One of the few recurring characters of Xkcd wears a black hat as a distinguishing feature. Do not mess with his hat. When startled, he actually retreats into his hat like a turtle. (And now, a challenger has appeared.)
 * Another recurring character also has a hat. This one likes to go on adventures, and otherwise follow his heart.
 * Narbonic's ANTONIO SMITH, FORENSIC LINGUIST gets the all-caps treatment only when his hat is on.
 * In Order of the Stick, it's eventually revealed that Roy's blood oath of vengeance against Xykon was originally triggered over a Nice Hat (well, a crown). No, it wasn't magic; Xykon just thought it looked nice, so he killed the guy who owned it.
 * Dina's safari-style hat in It's Walky! She only removes it when
 * Dumbing of Age switched the safari hat for a little monster cap.
 * Ozy and Millie: Ozy wears a very, very large top hat. He and his best friend lampshade both his specific example and the trope on an epic scale here.
 * Relatedly, Lothar Hex, the cyborg-echidna mercenary/criminal of Exterminatus Now wears a signature hat, and is sent into an Unstoppable Rage when it gets incinerated.
 * He has a new one... covered in asbestos. The EN crew aren't necessarily the brightest stars in the galaxy.
 * He also owns a special Firefly viewing hat.
 * In Flipside, Maytag's jester hat isn't just nice, it reflects -- and maybe affects -- her personality. New characters quickly learn how different she is without it.
 * See this strip of Sluggy Freelance.
 * Also, Nash Straw/Reynold Strom's wide-brimmed black hat, which complements his Badass Longcoat nicely. He even gets a version with Hereti-Corp's logo when he's working for them. And his rebel soldier counterpart in 4U City has one too.
 * In San: Three Kingdoms Comic, which uses the Dynasty Warriors character models, Cao Cao's hat has a small duck atop it, and is referred to as "the Duck Hat". One of his advisors, Guo Jia, wears a Baozi (Meat Bun) Hat. Both hats possess the power of hypnosis, but Guo Jia's is apparently stronger.
 * Pv P occasionally features the 'Gaming Fez', a Fez which makes you awesome at (virtually) any game BECAUSE the Fez makes you look awesome. Only the remarkably thick-headed Skull the Troll has proven able to handle its awesome, shining power, while anyone else who've donned it soon became drunk on its power...
 * Freefall's Florence Ambrose receives a gold cloth hat that proves to be quite popular with robots for its transponder-blocking qualities: starting here.
 * Marten's (and, consequently, Hannelore's) "Worry Hat" in Questionable Content.
 * In El Goonish Shive, Sarah's beret is so cute/awesome that the principle allows her to wear it despite it being against the school dress code. (Also, author Dan Shive is quite aware of the importance of hats, as seen here.)
 * The Brigade du Chapeau from Kukuburi consists of a gang of strange creatures wearing hats with special abilities (such as Rendo's Hammerspace bowler hat).
 * Megatokyo: Largo's outfit in a recent comic is impressive enough? but the hat is impressive in its own right. It out-steampunks Gil's!
 * In a later strip, when things seem likely to get violent, the hamster on the brim of his hat buckles up!
 * And it flies too.
 * Now a Schematized Prop.
 * In The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob, Galatea's beret contains a holographic projector to make her appear human.
 * It's really hard to beat the third guy in this Scribblette.
 * Homestuck's Courtyard Droll's hat requires a four-page introduction.
 * He apparently has more of them.
 * And how could we forget the Bunny Sassacre Fedora?


 * takes quite a shine to Dad's hat (spoilers).
 * Being largely about Team Fortress 2 it isn't surprising that Nerf Now features an assortment of nice hats with one storyline featuring various characters wearing Mini-Medic as a hat culminating in Heavy wearing Mini-Medic as a hat while she wears a plush heavy as a hat.
 * One strip involves a hat so nice, the Sniper thinks that it's better than a three-way.
 * America in Scandinavia and The World has the best hat of all:.
 * The Princess in Rusty and Co always wears a LARGE cone hat with a tassel. The hat never falls off, even while she beats the stuffing out of someone.
 * In Magic and Physics the character SPDA wears a hat (suspiciously similar to the one in xkcd). Also the character Marvil used to until.
 * In Daddy Long Legs, everybody has a nice hat. Even the parasites.
 * Yun-lee's hat from Nineteen Twenty One seen here.
 * The six-armed Spinnerette!, after a fat and gravity-powered villainess mocks her deodorant bill, angrily declares that "If I were going to insult you, I wouldn't go for the obvious. I'd make fun of ... your stupid HAT!" The villainess is outraged - you can insult her, but no one insults traditional Alpine hats.
 * Lowping, the Gnome rogue in Flintlocke's Guide to Azeroth, ninja looted an epic mage hat, twice from Bloodrose, the group's mage. One of his most recurrent stock phrases (being a bot) is "I lewt da hat".
 * Nobody Scores: Swank hats are Sara's bag.
 * Circuit most everyone wears a hat at some point, a gangster hat or a fun guy hat or a wizard hat, the hats help describe the character for the whole story or perhaps just a period of time.
 * Concession's Roland has a very nice flat cap. Thonnen even specifically asks him to leave it on during sex.
 * In Sinfest, Squidly goes haywire over a baseball cap.
 * Dreamwalk Journal and its sequels (all NSFW) take place in a world of anthropomorphic insects and spiders, where nobody wears clothes but a few characters have headgear of one kind or another.
 * Bee Queen Leonurus has a selection of very ornate headpieces. They look heavy, but Word of God says they're made of "virtual matter" and are therefore weightless.
 * Visiting human Fleur almost always wears her trademark red baseball cap.
 * Leonurus's council of six are required to shave their heads and wear caps. One of them shows a slightly rebellious spirit by wearing his at a jaunty angle.
 * Natwick the hillbilly earwig from sequel comic Nightshade the Merry Widow wears a broad sun hat, apparently made from a leaf.
 * A piece of filler art for Nightshade shows the eponymous spider-lady wearing, appropriately, a fly-fishing hat.
 * In Bird Boy the men of Bali's tribe wear masked animal headdresses. Bali's huge bird-beak is arguably the coolest.
