Buy My Hats!

(3) K-3 Frank and Carl--a bear and a fish, respectively--try to sell plain brown hats while animal street vendors around them successfully hawk flimflam such as "Remote Control Robot Cell Phones." Readers will root for sad-sack Frank and slightly-more-optimistic Carl in this witty riff on fickle consumerism. The gag-filled art, which was created on newsprint and features dialogue balloons, has a Sunday-comics vibe.
