I assume you're very used to seeing it so you kinda tune it out but to me it's what I focus on here because it's unusual and sticks out a lot.
I think maybe the fact that it seems like it's the bun wearing the hat rather than the person makes it even more distracting, it's is indeed very floaty in this one.
I don't find it as distracting in the Willem Dafoe bird comic.
Blank or redacted maybe?
