The term Hood can be divided into many sub-groups spanning from the straightforward occurrences of garment details to the more indirect occurrences, in which the term has a non-physical meaning. Carl Barks used hoods - in graphics and in words - in several of his Disney duck comic book stories and some examples are presented below. They have foremost been taken from the latter group, which are more interesting from a linguistic point of view because they sometimes give surprising meanings. You are only shown one example of each 'hood' although there are plenty to choose from.

but he never got around to actually painting it.
