Mom’s great. I get the sense she still has some of that childlike wonder in her like Calvin does, even if she has to be Mom too.

Like in the Yukon, Ho! arc when Mom and Dad are looking for Hobbes who’s lost in the woods. She shouts his name looking for him before realizing that he can’t call back.

Or another one where I forget the exact context, but she’s sharing her anxieties and worries with Hobbes. Then she says something to the effect of, “You know it’s got to be bad if I’m talking to you about it”

Calvin’s mom is the second best character in the comic.

Who is the third best? Calvin or Hobbes?
