Alternate Title: A Man, A Plan, A Tramp Mart. Anal! Panama!
We now resume Eli’s previously scheduled adventure in continuity. Looks like he’s out for hobo vengeance. The kind where you seek vengeance on a hobo for his or her misdeeds. Not the kind where an actual hobo steals your shoes as retribution because you “accidentally” spilled his can’o beans.
I hope you’re liking the mini story arcs so far. I think I’m still finding my footing, but I’ve been getting a lot of nice feedback at conventions and I’m really enjoying the process. It’s more fun to write when you can expand an idea past 3 lonely panels.
The utility of a portable tramp stamper cannot be overstated. Especially while my mendicant mace is in the shop.
I feel like the portable tramp stamper must look something like that "bug removal device" from the first Matrix movie.
Portable tramp stamper sounds like a self heating branding iron for sluts.
Remember, you don't need to clean it after every application of the Ronco Portable Tramp Stamper ™; that's how it gets the unique stamp 'n sniff smell with every Tramp Stamp!
"How do you use it audience?"
"Stamp it and forget it!"
"That's right!"
You should have loaned the hobo poking stick to the crew of the prometheus. So many problems could have been avoided.
Mini story arcs just means less Geek specific jokes to me. 🙁
Hobo poking stick is my new favourite term for my cock! I shall use this most unwisely!
So, should we ask whom you're poking with your "hobo poking stick"? Random hoboes?
vagrant hammer and portable tramp stamper make equally sweet band names.
Vagrant Hammer is my MC Hammer cover band that does parody versions of all his singles, changing the subject matter to his bankruptcy.
"What did that crazy hobo do to my body?"
"you say that so often, I feel like we should just work out a hand gesture or something."
Brilliant! Loving the continuity comics.
One small question though: Is Eli ever going to wear his Team Edward (James Olmos) T-shirt again? I loved that one.
In before Joel can suggest that you buy one yourself, and then you can wear it all the time. That's what I would do. If I wasn't broke. And lame. Not "uncool" lame, I'm awesome. I meant "Oh noes! My leg's done broked and they're a-gonna hafta put me down!" This shall be my last post before my mercy killing.
I doubt I will ever put him in the shirt again, since the shirt itself was the punchline to a comic (which first appeared 3 years ago). The shirt itself is a real thing now, so portraying him wearing the shirt would just seem like a sneaky ad.
Yeah, I've seen Jeph Jacques do that, and it does kind of feel like a sneaky ad. But at the same time, if the shirt is good, and it works as a subtle reference in the comic, then advertise away, I say!
The title and the alternate title are brilliant.
Thanks!

Reminds of a forensics lecture I attended once about gun shot wounds – long story short, don't try to rob the one hobo with a sawed-off shotgun, kids. It doesn't end well for you.
Yes, this was before Rutger Hauer's Hobo With A Shotgun came out…
I make it a practice not to rob hobos in the first place. It's a pretty low-profit exercise. Like mugging winos, or corrupting the ethics of a politician.
I feel like you've just set up the premise for "Taken 3. Taken it to The Streets."
I've been following this comic for a couple of years. The title of this comic made me create an account just to comment. I've love the comic, but thank you so much for exposing me to a new palindrome.
In college, some friends of mine had a cricket bat hanging by their door that was labeled the "crack head wrangling stick." It was legitimately used to wrangle crack heads on at least one occasion.
First house I ever bought, previous owner left an old wooden baseball bat with an electrical tape wrapped grip. I've kept it through 3 moves, pretty sure it's seen some action and never know when it might come in handy…
I just went back to the previous strip in this arc, which revealed Boxcar Pete, and I looked into his eyes and heard the Joker laughing! OHMUGODWHY???!!! Why won't he stop?!
also available, the pothead popper, the mugger mace (bludgeon, not spray), and the slut slicer! in stores now!!!
