Nice Hat is now a disambiguation page.


The cartoon is about a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin little pig named Huxley]], who has a wardrobe and a seagull named Sam as a friend, and who asks the seagull what he might get up to if he had the job associated with the NiceHat he wore. HilarityEnsues. After all, [[RuleOfFunny it's a cartoon]]!
