Dr. Hobo

“That's Doctor Hobo, he's a doctor you know.” 
- Leo, Two robots walk into a bar...
Dr. F.G. Hobo is a character from VG Cats who is a homeless, delusional and insane drunkard who was also a licensed doctor. He most often hangs out in his alleyway with Leo, where he tells Leo his "wisdom." Aeris does not seem to like him very much because of this. He froze to death in the streets of Canada as seen in Gin City and returned to be a ghost as seen in the GG Guys guest comic. He came back in the comic That show that's not Bob's Burgers.
== Appearance ==
Dr. Hobo’s design has remained consistent over the years. He has a brown beard, and wears a paper bag on top of his head at all times. He also wears a green jacket and a yellow-green shirt that he presumably hasn’t changed for a while now, due to the rips and overall dirtiness seen on both his jacket and pants in some comics. He is also seen wearing green pants. In the first 2 comics he appears in, Oh Canadia! and Two robots walk into a bar..., he is seen with a rip in his pants on the knee area, along with a bruise. He talks in very garbled speech, such as saying the word “my” as “muh.”
== Backstory and Personality ==
It was revealed in Days of Future Past that Dr. Hobo was an actual doctor, who had seemingly overdosed on crack, but claims he doesn’t remember it probably because of the crack. However, not much is known about his backstory other than that. In They're not just for zombies anymore, he claims he also used to have a job, but one day he pirated music and a person referred to as ‘the man’ took his house. In the same comic, he admits to having a ‘taste of crime’ and stealing satellite signals and eating babies. His full name, Dr. F.G. Hobo, was revealed in the comic Behind the Scenes Part 2. 
Leo is first seen with Dr. Hobo in Oh Canadia! where he tells Leo that Canada started from vikings who were attacked by 50 foot atomic ninja robots, claiming that Godzilla then attacked and crushed the robots and vikings. Dr. Hobo then believes that Leo is going to take his brain because he’s a talking cat, which appears to be a common obsession with him. In Two robots walk into a bar..., Dr. Hobo wants to take a look at Leo’s brain using a knife. Mr. Potatamoto, an anthropomorphic potato and The Pea Brains, a group of anthropomorphic peas were also created by Dr. Hobo himself. Other than the crack, it is known he is an alcoholic. Despite being homeless, he is sometimes seen holding hooch.
Dr. Hobo acts very misguided, and seems unaware about the sometimes insane acts he pulls. Some of his other insane acts range from believing a dead squirrel was a phone in the comic Can you hear me now?, where he also believed he was talking to his supposed wife, to in a now removed filler comic, eating a box of aborted fetuses. Dr. Hobo’s death is shown in the strip Gin City, but years later returned in The show that’s not Bob’s Burgers, where he asks Aeris for change, with even Leo pointing out his sudden reappearance. 
== Relationships ==
He is known to be good friends with Leo, with them meeting in Dr. Hobo’s alleyway where he usually gives Leo his bad advice and stories, with Leo believing every word of it. It’s assumed Aeris learns from Dr. Hobo from Leo, however does not like him, calling him a “smelly, drunken, hobo out by the dumpster”. In Behind the Scenes Part 1, Aeris and Leo recall an event where Leo comes home with a box full of rocks, claiming it’s a console called the “Boxorz-o-Roxorz”, with Aeris believing “that damned hobo” had something to do with it. Since then, Aeris seems to have started becoming calmer with Dr. Hobo, and apologizing to Dr. Hobo when she didn’t carry cash and couldn’t give him any money.
