There’s a guy I’ve begun noticing on Queen West: both times I’ve seen him, he’s been wearing a shirt with bold horizontal red-and-white stripes, and an undersized bowler hat perched high on his balding head. I think he’s the sidekick of a 1940s comic-book hero. His name is probably something like “Doodlebug O’Brien,”and his superpower is the ability to make tiny cartoon rain clouds appear over other people’s heads.
