I always thought cool was a tye-died shirt, bandana, long hair and a beard. Then, some kid with a greasy mohawk told me I looked like Charlie Manson and I was not cool. Sob!
Hobbes, like most English speakers (including Calvin, obviously) seems not to realize that ‘sombrero’ is simply the Spanish word for ‘hat.’ Any hat, of any type. The notion that those wide brimmed deals are specifically sombreros probably comes from the US proximity to Mexico- the one country known for wearing them. More accurately, they’re ‘Mexican hats,’ or ‘Mariachi hats.’
As to how cool they are- well, they do keep you in a nice piece of shade. So Hobbes is right in that sense.
Not to worry, Hobbes. Calvin is merely jealous because he didn’t think of it first. Some people find it hard to admit they’re not the best at everything.
I’m definitely not a hat person. I think they are just an unnecessary fashion accessory to make people’s appearances look better.However I will admit it looks awesome on Hobbes!xxx
Nobody has then clearly become Vincent Pope, who became president of the 1979 MIlwaukee Tech Trojans and where ‘Nobody for President’ then overtakes the Calvin Coolidge tone set in a typiclal Wisconsin Badger XXX anti-London the 28th game.
Nobody isn’t perfect, so MIT graduates are now equal to ‘nobody’ . HaHaHalo day!

But Elaine Benes thought it was cool. She put the Urban Sombrero on the cover of the J. Peterman catalogue!

Calvin is wrong; who doesn’t look cool with a sombrero?

Fedoras are cool if you’re my friend Marty. (That’s not his name.) He’s the only person I know who can pull off a fedora.
