700 Down

483 Eldon Waxhat, the Waterproof Man

You've probably already read about it on the big blogs, but we, the hobo-obsessed Flickr group from e-hobo.com, have finished the original list of 700 itinerants from John Hodgman's Areas of My Expertise.

I guess I can say "we," even though I only contributed three, as opposed to some of the more prolific (and talented) folks like car-hopper extraordinaires xadrian , halcyonsnow, Len from Jawbone Radio, marcusparcus, DarkMark and of course Ape Lad, who has personally drawn nearly 200 of the entries. It took me a month to get around to finishing Eldon Waxhat, above, but I'm happy with both my hobo and accompanying homages to Ranma ½ creator Rumiko Takahashi and beeswax-powered wondergood supplier Burt's Bees.
