Found this great version of Torgo’s severed head on flickr pretty much randomly. It’s next to either Don Van Vliet (Captain Beefheart) or one of the Thompsons from Tintin. More than you want to know about Torgo can be found on Dial H for Blog.
I’m now imagining that Simon Pegg and Nick Frost take over the Tintin movies and they use the tagline, “It’s Hot Fez!” to promote it. The first true believer who can remind me what damn book the Thompsons wore fezzes in wins a no prize.

I’m guessing Cigars of the Pharaoh.
And the prize goes to Chris!
I’m guessing that’s it too, since my copy is in California and I’m not right now. Couldn’t find a reference on the interwebs.
OK. It’s official, the Thompsons did don the fez in Cigars of the Pharaohs. Thanks to the Barnes & Noble of Park Slope for having a complete Tintin library available.
