Illustration Description
Another of John Hodgman's 700 Hoboes from his great book The Areas of My Expertise. A different style from my other hoboes, and she's decidedly not "old" but I thought that part might not be so literal.. seeing as she seems to be reliably "stabby"… premature grey suits I think. Probably one of the more glamourous hoboes.. it's the danger, I think.

Good Evening. This site is inspired by the writings of author John Hodgman and his book Areas of My Expertise. It is meant as an homage to the
wandering men and women who chose to ride the rails during and before The Great Depression, and not the contemporary urban (or rural) poor.
