By comparison Hobo just looks a little goofy.
In a local used bookstore, there are copies of some of the Kult 2nd edition sourcebooks.

I hold these up as the standards of RPG materials clearly (over)designed without any practical thought to actual usage.

I'm not a huge fan of Hobo variants either, as they imply beergarden menus to me, but the graphical design of the book is outside my control.
