No it isn't. His hat says "hat". The "e" doesn't fit in anywhere in the image.



Ohhhh it says Hate. Nevermind.

Now I want to buy that hat.

More often than not they're not even wearing the product. The logos are often Photoshopped onto plain tees.

Hello.

Mr. Gob, is the Hate hat based on the Make America Great Again hat? Is the fact that an elephant, the symbol of the Republican party, is wearing it a jab at President-Elect Donald Trump? Is your comic a political cartoon now?

Haha, kind of, yeah haha. I was going to have Bumbis' hat say "Make America Great Again" but then I remembered that this story is taking place in 2014. Since I already drew the hat, I had to put something on it so I just wrote, "HAT." The "HATe" gag was something I came up with while driving to work and I couldn't stop laughing at the idea so I put it in there.

Nice. Thank you for your answer.
Please consider adding helpful labels with the characters' political affiliation in upcoming comics. Maybe also write Obama on Satan.

But seriously, it was a funny gag and the way it was executed was just perfect.

Gob, do you have some kind of postmortem "Making Of It Hurts!!" planned, whether as a post on the website or as a postscript to the final volume of the physical books? Because that'd be cool to read.

What kind of thing would you like? Like, me reflecting on making the comic and elaborating on all my ideas and stuff? I would absolutely love to do this. I could yap on and on forever about IT HURTS and if people want to read it, I'll definitel type it. There's a lot of "I was going through this while I wrote this part and it influenced the story in this way" junk.

When the comic is finished I would love to read about why you wrote what you wrote and how it might be different than what you originally planned, also more stuff on the characters and what you were thinking when you came up with each of them.

I haven't done it in a whiiiiile. I keep saying to Grail and Josef, "Man we gotta podcast again soon." And we all agree! I think right now we're all focused on different stuff but I know we'll get around to it again.

Absolutely! Influences for specific bits, where the original ideas came from (did it spring entirely from God Dammit! or were there other precipitating events), stuff you tried by accident that happened to work (like HATe), Easter eggs that you don't think anyone noticed, literally anything would be cool.

here's a few:

-Were you being coy when you said Goddamnit wasn't connected to It Hurts beyond similar characters and settings?

-How have you most changed since starting It Hurts?

-What scene would you most like to see fully animated? Don't get excited, I can't animate, I'm just curious.

How much has the storyline for It Hurts! changed from what you originally envisioned it to be? Is it all pretty much unfolding the way you planned it from the start or have there been some changes here and there that have made it different?

The bus is #666 the entire time but when Katie gets on in the last page it's clearly #665. Do all the Hell buses changes numbers or are they just all number 666 in the distance? Either way, truly Hell.

Oh, that's an S. I meant it to be like the bus number was 666 and the route is 66: School.

Oh! That makes more sense. I just assumed that every bus in Hell was #666 and also on route #666 until they got up close. Because as a frequent bus rider who tries to identify them from maximally far away, that would only be a tiny inconvenience but it would come up every time so it's perfect for Hell.

This is exactly the question I want Pasq to think of to ask people. At the very least the answer can help him work out how the memory erasure works.
