Editing Mr. Hat (section)

==About==
The longtime companion of [[Herbert Garrison]] ever since childhood, Mr. Hat is a puppet with a mind of his own. Though he may seem merely like an ordinary puppet, Mr. Hat has exhibited many signs of being an independent, sentient being, including the ability to drive a truck, beat up [[Mr. Mackey]] and spend time in a sauna room with [[Brett Favre]] and a bottle of thousand island dressing. It is unknown where exactly his story begins, but it is known he participated in the Vietnam War alongside [[Mitch Conner]] shortly before he became involved with a young [[Herbert Garrison]], a relationship that would continue for nearly forty years and grow to define both men.

Mr. Hat is an aggressive, unforgiving racist and member of the [[Ku Klux Klan]], never missing a meeting, and is also a flaming homosexual who longingly admires not only celebrities like [[Enrique Iglesias]] but even his own puppetmaster, Mr. Garrison. He also known for being extremely angry and dangerous, threatening to 'smack these little bitches up' in class and telling students to go to hell, despite the students' preference for him over [[Mr. Twig]], [[Mr. Slave]] and even at times, Mr. Garrison. During a therapy session, [[Dr. Jonathan Katz]] has suggested that Mr. Hat represents Mr. Garrison's subconscious as a result of childhood trrama... such as, perhaps, not being molested by his father as a boy.

Mr. Hat has largely retired from teaching since Mr. Garrison became the fourth grade teacher, though he briefly came out of hiding to help deal with [[Eric Cartman]]'s "daddy issues", reconciling with his old friend Mitch Conner. Now located firmly inside [[Mr. Slave]]'s asshole, Mr. Hat is living out his final days in peace.
