Hobo Lobo of Hamelin is a thing by a dude, who’s all like, “I’M GONNA MAKE A THING.” And then he did. Or is doing. Or, you know, whatever. This dude can be found on the internet. He makes adventurous haute couture bespoke graceful exciting internets for a living.
               -- Stevan Živadinović

Živadinović creates a surrealist adventure through the rocky democratic, right-wing, "Calvinist-Fascist" political culture of the fictional town Hamelin. In the mode of true political satire, the Mayor of Hamelin, named Dick Mayor, is being seen as too soft on crime despite countless daily executions of disturbingly humanoid "rats." Enter Hobo Lobo, "mover, shaker, fraternal boilermaker, mender of loose ends, and sometimes indoctrinator of youth." This lupine journeyman seems to be the answer to the Mayor's problem, and upon the promise of payment leads the rats off a cliff in a seemingly casual genocide underscored by a pleasant harmonica in the background. The rest of the unfinished story revolves around Hobo Lobo attempting to receive payment for his rendered services and the increasing count of vices in Hamelin.

At its core, Hobo Lobo of Hamelin paints a disturbing image of political extremism. The Rats are shown as being human yet demonized, and the plan of eradication hits too close to historical genocides. Further, the various political figures are shown saying insane and extremely offensive lines:

Today on Chuck Krispin Tells It How It Is: hardcore pornographic leftists, liberal sympathizers, and a heartwarming tale of pure hatred. But first, in the studio with us is none other than the mayor. Welcome mayor. 

“Thanks for having me, Chuck. Love your show, never miss it. It's like journalism—only better.”

In tune with the political bias present, Živadinović uses this to turn Hobo Lobo into a children's story more resembling a fable. The defining characteristic of a fable, however, is the conveyance of a moral or lesson. Therefore, Hobo Lobo is written as a cautionary tale of the dangers of extreme right-wing politics, which seems fitting in an era where those ideas are rising to the surface of popular culture.
