Who is this Random Hobo?
posted Thursday, June 09, 2005 - 06:08 PM (#27849)
I have a Certificate which "is an Authentic Certificate of Authenticity" signed by both "The Artist" and "A Random Hobo" implying that i already have this orignal art [goats.com] framed and hanging in my living room in a place of honor.

Are there really more than one original, is this an honest mistake, or does this mean that if someone purchases this strip from you i have to ship them my treasured prize?

Why does this please me, suddenly?

Oh yeah. That's right!

I'm a jerk!

Who knew?

I mean, aside from my wife, that is. And the rest of y'all, so shut up.

Having said certificate does not imply that the said original strip is framed and hanging, mearly that you might know the whereabouts of said strip.

So, hand it over buddy... Paypal says so!

In Response to Dynedain (#27863):

You seem to be implying that any original Goats art should not be displayed in a manner befitting its nature, ie: framed and hung in a place of honor. Legitimate possession of the certificate - which, admittedly, its possession does not necessarily imply - does lead to the logical extrapolation of framed-and-hung comic.

Vociferously proclaiming its innocence. And popular with many ladies and certain gentlemen.

That's assuming his living room is a place of honor...

Sorry about that, I've marked it as sold.

Sometimes these things happen. Sometimes a hobo sneaks into your apartment and signs thing. This is the way of the world.

Not blaming the bookkeeping mistake on the hobo demonstrated a lot of integrity.

Nobody expects Jon not to use "the hobo forgot to mark the strip as 'purchased'" excuse.
