What's going on with Odin's hats?
Aaron would probably say it's a Klans thing.
Stan Lee's knock-off Shakespearean is one of my favorite things about that Thor run.
dude likes his funky hats
Does he have a sweat shop of dwarves cranking them out for him? Does he simply materialize them from thin air using the Odinforce?

>Filthy hovel in Queens
>Jack Kirby finishes pacing the floor
>He can't figure out a design for Odin's helmet, and a simple Viking helmet won't do
>He looks out of his broken window, smashed every time his wife mentions the name "Stan".
>City life teems below
>The Hollies sing the theme for the upcoming movie "After the Fox" on a portable radio. A black man gets on the bus, happy about this whole "Civil Rights" thing, only to find the only seat available on the crowded bus is at the back. Hippies, stumbling around in a daze, wondering what they were even protesting about

>No answer
>He leans to the bedroom door
>'Strangers in the Night' plays on the Victrola
>Over the song he hears voices

>Pants are zipped. The voice says "Excelsior"
>Roz giggles again, someone leaves
>Kirby opens the desk drawer
>A .38 greets his eyes
>Dark thoughts fill his mind

>He breaks his pencil in his hand
>A tear rolls down his cheek
>He takes a swig of Manischewitz
>He puts down the revolver, and walks over to the drawing board
>He draws Odin's weird hat
>Roz walks in
>She asks him if the hat is for her
>"Huh? No....no honey. I just...thought it would make a cool costume design element. Be a dear, go get me some cigars"
>"Sure Bubelah" she says and leaves
>Kirby takes another swig and looks at his handiwork
>"Colletta better not ink this fucking issue" he thinks
>>Pants are zipped. The voice says "Excelsior"

KEK
Looks like WoW tier 23 shaman raid gear.
hearty kek from a former raider
Good one
King of the Gods deserve the pimpest of hats
Everything, apparently.
Kirby didn't settle for plain looking designs when shifting was meant to be grand
He really was having fun with those, wasn't he?

Behold the Godmaker.
Kirby liked drawing crazy headwear.
He sure did.

Weird. Did they recolour this?
Beautiful iguana hat
It faded over time.
Ah makes sense. More headgear! To answer OP he liked drawing fancy stuff to indicate power.
Seeing this kind of makes me realize how bland a lot of the modern Thor designs are.
