I understand the appeal of hats and am puzzled by the appeal of popes. The pope has distinctive headgear for which he is known. So I sometimes wonder if I can use what I know about hat-fancying to gain some insight into the minds of pope-fanciers. I haven’t had any success with this effort so far. Apparently web comic writers also find the pope’s hats to be interesting, as the examples below illustrate:
