Illustration Description
Cholly the Yegg was once a wealthy man, but he left his fortune behind for life on the rails. Many claim it was bad investments that led him to this fate, a claim which Cholly denies wholeheartedly. Cholly insists that he just needed the simplicity of sleeping under the stars with a knapsack full of dreams and open roads leading in all directions. Of course, the liquor may have had something to do with it too, not to mention the embezzlement accusations, but we prefer Cholly's interpretation of events. For he is Cholly the Yegg for a reason... not for his portly stature... not for his fondness for eating 3 pickled eggs for lunch every single day of the week... but because, when you see him walk away into the sunset, you can't help but think to yourself, "there goes a good yegg."
