Nice Hat/Web Comics

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Examples of Nice Hats in Web Comics include:

  • 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 Lars postmortem 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!"

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.

EB: but i think we need to stop and acknowledge the bunny sassacre fedora i just made.
TT: It's awesome.
EB: yeah.

    • Aradia 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.
  • America in Scandinavia and The World has the best hat of all: Canada.
  • 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 he sold his hat for beer.
  • 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.
  • Wrong Hands presents a collection of thinking caps.
  • From Yamara: The best benefit to being made High General of the drow army (from Yocchi's opinion) is getting to wear the "big hat".
