Hatman answers fan questions: My head

From time to time my dear fans ask me various questions about my life as a super hero. I usually don't get a lot of time to answer them, so I thought that using my blog would be the best way to fill you in on the nitty gritty of my exciting life.

This time around I'd like to address a question that I get all the time: "Hatman, what is it really like to have a hat for a head?"

Let me start off by saying that this was not nearly as easy to get used to as you might expect! As you might have seen in my Origin issue, having a hat for a head means that my head just bobs up and down when I talk instead of having a mouth that moves! In fact, I didn't even have a mouth right away, I had to pull one out of my hat! I also didn't have a nose and that didn't turn out so well either!

But over time I learned how to cope with my unique noggin. For example, I found out that it was way more comfortable to sleep if I had a notch cut out of my mattress for my brim. You can see it in Indigo and my adventure Heroic and Incredible part 2.

A lot of people also assume that since my head is a hat with some kind of gaping vortex inside that I can pull anything out of, I must not have a brain! Well, that's obviously not true seeing as I couldn't really live without a brain - but then again, I'm not really sure where it is either. My theory is that my brain is just in that vortex and I hope and pray that I don't accidentally pull it out someday! I'm not sure, but I'm guessing nothing good could come of that.

Other than that, though, I'd say having a hat for a head isn't all that much different than having a head for a head. Sure I get stares wherever I go, and whenever I go through customs it takes forever because they keep insisting I take my head off, and people are always thinking I'm some kind of mascot.

But on the other hand, my girlfriend Blonde really seems to like the whole hat-head look, and her family doesn't seem to mind much either. Plus, the way I see it, without my hat for a head, I'd just be an ordinary guy and I'd never would have been able to create my best buddy Indigo.

Just don't mention the fact that we also wouldn't have my arch-nemesis' Glomo, The Evil Zap Man, and Super Cold Frozen Man, plus we never would have had to worry about that ray gun that created The Big Giant Pumpkin Headed Man and The Evil Narrator... but still, wishing for this hat was a good move, right?

Indy Comic-Con

Hello Hat-fans!

I hear our creators made an appearance last weekend at the Indianapolis comic-con! You can take a look at some pictures of it here.

I have to say, though, I am a little bit offended! It seems that when those guys went they wore t-shirts with pictures of our evil nemesis the Terrible Trio! So Hatman and Indigo are out there working hard and fighting crime, and our own creators go and support the bad guys!

I just hope we're not on the verge of changing the name of the comic to "The Adventures of the Terrible Trio!" Maybe our creators will just have to redeem themselves by wearing cool new Hatman and Indigo shirts at the June comic-con!

In other news, Hatman and I are still busy dealing with Blonde's crazy family! You can watch the most recent part of our adventure here, and be sure to watch for the third and final installment of this saga coming soon.
