Hats you say? I think there was a video game loosely based on your childhood!

Perhaps! I saw this anime a loooong time ago, and even now it was still the first thing I thought of when I chose the title.

I take it Robbie doesn’t subscribe to the “Tough Love” philosophy.

Saw the title ‘Golden Boy,’ and I wasn’t thinking that at all. Golden Boy is a fanservice anime too. It made me laugh. Maybe that’s part of the schadenfreude?

I took a picture of myself in Photobooth so I could get it just right.

The original script for this comic had Bobby asking Robbie if he thought most people are basically good or evil, so your book recommendation is closer to the mark than you think!

Thanks for mentioning it, Jude–I’m putting it on my library request list.
