In early comics, White Hat appeared mostly as a rare secondary character. But starting with comic [[915: Connoisseur]], White Hat began appearing more often and developed more of a personality, often playing the role of a philosophically misguided person. In this way, he's a bit of a {{rw|straw_man|straw man}}, making {{rw|fallacy|logical fallacies}} to help advance [[Randall Munroe|Randall]]'s point (see also [[973: MTV Generation]], [[1215: Insight]], [[1255: Columbus]], [[1277: Ayn Random]], [[2357: Polls vs the Street]] and [[2368: Bigger Problem]]). Other times, he is simply an alternative to [[Cueball]] or one of the other main characters.

In [[603: Idiocracy]] a character with a white hat appears, but it is a rounded safari hat very unlike White Hat's usual boater. He also has a very different mindset so there is no reason to believe that he is White Hat at all, and the comic has been removed from the list of those with White Hat. The main reason for the initial misunderstanding is that White Hat had already appeared in his normal hat three times before that comic, and Safari Hat guy has never been shown again, except in [[1000: 1000 Comics]].
