Look at this sweet hat I got!

It is a nine hour drive to our friend’s house in Memphis, and somewhere along the way in Kentucky there is a tourist trappy place called Dinosaur World. I bought a very ugly looking Dinosaur World baseball cap at Dinosaur World. That is the story of this strip.
It is also the story of another strip.
I was very into Dinosaur World at the time.
There was a part of me that was super into baseball caps after going to a pseudo Space Camp
lately it’s a fox ear beanie if anything
Mine don’t have ears on them, but I can appreciate a good beanie.
Didn’t that place also get a mention in Girls With Slingshots?
Yes, that’s where Maureen wanted to go, although they ended up at a knockoff.
Wait no, my mistake, where Maureen wanted to go is Dinosaur *Land*, which is in Virginia.
Big Josie’s Dinosaur Wonderland and Barbecue!
Ugh, link failure. And I even double-checked it. 😣

I honestly thought that was Billie at first, and was very confused.
Joyce paying special attention to the hat someone is wearing as “part of their look” was also the subject of a Dumbing of Age strip:

Walky definitely looks better without a hat.
Don’t worry, Walky, cheap ugly trucker hats will be ironically cool in a few years.
There’s a Dinosaur World just outside of Tampa, Florida. I wonder if the two parks are related.
