Based on this, it's clear that the simplest explanation is that every figure with the white beret is, in fact, the same character. Moreover, many of the comics featuring Beret Guy only 'work' or at least certainly benefit from some level of established characterisation.daniel danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06446227950144949576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-81549486170240106992009-12-08T18:30:21.599-08:002009-12-08T18:30:21.599-08:00Part of your problem is assuming that, just becaus...Part of your problem is assuming that, just because someone is wearing the same hat as another character, they're the same character.
