Illustration Description
See, the gag here is that Hank was such an expert on the topic of eczema that he was actively participating in editing the eczema article on wikipedia several decades before wikipedia even existed! GET IT? These hoboes will get the best of me yet.

#759: Hank the Eczema Expert

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.
