Illustration Description
The topic of discussion is "Ending Hoboism as We Know It," hosted by Edward R. Meddlesome. Dan Loaf was chosen to represent the successful, well adjusted hobo. He dispenses with the podium and stretches out on his bedroll with his dog, Meat. The other panelists are Dr.I.M.Rich, Professor S.O.Bee, and the Right Reverend U.R.Doomed, all of whom wish they had brought their bedrolls.

#765: Panel Discussion Dan Loaf

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.
