Every aspect of the hat is likely to be composed of references to Dr. Seuss; the weird, comedic style of the hat is likely a reference to the wacky, uncontrollable personality of the Soldier (not unlike that of Dr. Seuss' writing,) and the hat's name suits Geisel's famous writing style, describing a person or entity in an anaphoric or sing-song manner.{{cite}}
