"I WANT YOU! To pull my finger!" Here, Maximus has found just the right cap to compliment his jogging suit. Modest but not meek, this sporty little number is trimmed in real gold and, apparently, keeps his Rastafarian dreads in check.
Yeah, I had the exact same expression when a really bitchy salesgirl at a Coast City boutique told me my knit cap made my head look like an acorn. Anyway. That's one magnificent hat. The effect is dampened somewhat when you realize that you can see his hair through it, and that he has the exact same haircut as one of the Three Stooges. But still. It's so sleek. I bet it picks up satellite radio signals. And it toasts an English muffin to perfection. It looks like Darth Vader's spaceship. Only cooler. AND, if you look at it just right, pretending the spot where Maxiumus' face pokes through is a mouth, and the three holes just above that are two eyes and a nose? It looks like the head of Ultron's dog.
But nothing -- and I do mean nothing -- can eclipse the sheer grandeur of this hat:
Dear sweet Lord in Heaven above! It's glorious! I think I could live quite comfortably inside Maximus' hat. In fact, I think I ought to start a charity, building replicas of it for low-income families. "Maxiumus' Hat For Humanity." It would help make up a little for all the times Maximus has tried to eradicate all mankind (and he's tried it a lot.)
Fun fact: on Orando this is considered a "beanie."

Heh heh. Maximus' hat for Humanity.
Looking at the shoulder pauldrons in that last pic, I'm thinking that Typhoid Mary's problem wasn't her shoulder pads per se so much as that she didn't commit to the look like Maxie does here.
Taken alone his shoulders are at least as ridiculous as hers, but as part of his ensemble they just peg the fabulous. It just screams "bow down before me, son of our jailer!", don't you think?
Chawunky: a hearty HAW! to you about the shoulder pads. If I had written that comic, the next panel after that one would show an aluminum awning salesman counting a big stack of money. And in the panel after that, he's crushed by a meteor.
Cozmic: Why does evil wear a skirt? Because they're even more freeing than boxers.
"Maximus, relax; it's Palmolive."
Do you have any idea what church Maximus belongs to?
I simply MUST be there on Easter...
Heh. Much obliged, m'sieur.
Scipio, I can't remember the exact name of Maximus' church... it's "something something the Annihlation of All Humankind." But I am certain that their annual "living Nativity" is performed right inside his hat. I've seen pictures; it's postively inspirational.
