Men In Hats is a popular webcomic by cartoonist Aaron Farber . In the author's own words, "Men in Hats is the gripping story of 6 guys who stand around in the desert... talking... sometimes they have breakfast." The comic has been likened to Calvin and Hobbes, but often with more violent humour. Men In Hats is part of the Keenspot webcomics group. It is also part of the Bagofchips comic alliance.
1 Characters
- Aram - an unfriendly sadist who frequently abuses and insults the other characters. He dislikes everyone and nobody but Beriah shows any affection for him.
- Beriah - a slow-witted but well-meaning man who either annoys the other characters or becomes the victim of Aram's pranks or his own inadvisable actions.
- Gamal - the most reasonable of the characters by a long way, Gamal is the sole voice of sanity in the comic. His role is to try (usually failing) to talk sense into the others, often by way of sarcastic remarks. He works as a salesman, a job which he hates.
- Jeriah - a depressive clown who tends to spout inane speech about how the world is against him. Although he is superficially a sad, lonely individual, it soon becomes clear that he has little justification for his depression and probably puts it on for attention. He has a drug problem.
- Mayor Jeb - apparently the mayor of wherever it is the comic is set. He is a caricature of dumb politicians, often introducing absurd policies and rarely doing anything worthy of re-election (but the others keep voting for him for reasons even they are unsure of).
- Sam - a religious zealot who constantly tries to convert the other characters to Christianity by whatever means. No matter how hard he tries to convince them, his talk of embracing love and goodwill invariably turns to intolerant hate speech. He runs a church, although he is apparently its only member.
