I've always enjoyed the webcomic xkcd by Randall Munroe, so I decided I'd "steal" my favorite character from his comics and have him react to a situation of my creation. That character happens to be Beret Guy, who's only distinguishing visual characteristic in the stick figure comic is his white beret. He often introduces an element of whimsy and absurdity to comics, so I used him to ruin a particularly dire situation with humor.
