He also seems to have body mass, a physical impossibility in a world of stick figures. Otherwise, the weight of the large, talking hat would simply snap him in twain.

Well, this particular world of stick figures seems to permit the wearing of hats in general. The body mass is clearly a fat suit.

Does this have to be a redo of an existing comic, or can it be original (well, as original as black and white stick figures can be, now)?

Cuz i got some, and one or two are indeed, slightly worse.

I had not checked this thread in a while since there was a bit of a slump with a lot of sub-par stuff at one point. Which means that (a) I missed xkcd's "guest appearance" ;_; and (b) I just had the most ammusing ten minute thread catchup in my browsing history. Some of these are frigging excellent. I especially liked the Pope's hands and all the meta-My-Hobby ones.
