#512: Mr. Kenneth Pteroplume, who fashions fine writing instruments from the rudimentary feathers of the undersaurs

In “More Information Than You Require”, the new book by John Hodgman, he lists the names of 700 Mole-Men. In honor of this The 700 Mole-Men Project has been launched challenging artists to create a drawing for each Mole-Man that has been named. Here’s the Flickr Group of the Mole-Men that have been created so far.

As similar endeavor, The 700 Hoboes Project, was created in association with John’s previous book “The Areas Of My Expertise”.
