I’d think she’d be more concerned about his morbid obesity.

Cruz isn’t asking me, but I’d give him a thumbs down on that one.

Begin by turning the ballcap around so you stop looking clueless, which is close to the mark anyway.

I’ve rocked a fedora for a long time now. It’s an added bonus that I hear the “Indiana Jones” theme every time I put it on…

I hate wearing hats, I can’t stand to have something on my head. I only wear one when I’m in costume for a video.

Oh, it’s great to be your own man, but it’s far better to have someone to be her man for. Umm, I thought that was going to sound better when I started it. Also, NOT THAT HAT.

Makes him look like Curly from The Stooges.

Slap on a tiny mustache and he’s Oliver Hardy.

Panel Four looks like Cruz has a little beard going…looks good with the Derby

He’s still being his own man; he’s just smart enough to get a second opinion. ;-)

Go with a fedora, a flat cap, or even a pork pie, but stay away from a trilby.

I have flat caps for most of the year, and Panama hats for summer. Henry The Hatter, Detroit Michigan is my purveyor.

Secret to a long and happy marriage: knowing when to let her win!

Looks like Oddjob in the last panel.

I need a nice hat. And some nice clothes to wear it with. And a driver, so I can wear my hat in the car.

An improvement already over the ugly backward hat

Smart move.

Is the the Dirwood Kirby? (Seek out Rocky & Bullwinkle for reference)

He will end up with the original hat

I’d go with a pork pie, Cruz.

Save a return trip to exhange it that way. When I buy clothes I always ask for my wifes candid advice, didn’t start that way but I learned. She’s stated before that I’m like a ken doll and she dresses me.

How about a Homburg (sic), like Humprey Bogart wore in the original “Sabrina”?
