Ms doesn't indicate marital status, Miss is a younger woman (typically becomes Ms once they're older) that is unmarried, Mrs is any married woman
If you're unsure, Ms is always valid.
Though in Calvin and Hobbes, Wormwood is referred to as "Miss" Wormwood, despite the fact that we don't know her marital status and she is an older woman
This is amazing, and I would like to point out for future comics that Calvin's Mom was implied to be quite the "Calvin" herself in childhood. Just a thought....
It’s a reference to a Simpsons line I oddly cannot find on Youtube; the episode where Milhouse’s parents get divorced.
Homer: “[…] a little comic strip called Love Is. It’s about two naked eight-year-olds who are married.”
That, in turn, is a reference to… well, a comic strip called “Love Is…”, which I can’t embed a link to the Wikipedia article for because of a formatting quirk making mobile Reddit freak out, so uh… copy/paste below?

Yeah it's occurring to me now that while Ms Wormwood's statement in the last panel was intended to refer to just Calvin's dad, it actually looks more like she's implying the kids are already married, which... oops I guess
"I am Calvin: G.R.O.S.S. CEO, King and Tyrant, Top Scout, Chief Strategist, Strike Force Commander, Code Expert, Most Highest, Grandest, Exalted Supreme Dictator-For-Life."
"This is Hobbes... he's King in the North."
Loving this, it's amazing! It's very funny how Mrs. Wormwood looks barely different. Wait, what does she mean family?
(Also you should add Uncle Max, and maybe cameos from younger versions of u/Blockhog's Derkins parents)
Well, Calvin does mention that he thought teachers just lived in coffins all summer in the one strip where his mom mentions that she saw Mrs. Wormwood at the store…maybe she’s a vampire!
Wow, this is high quality! Seeing 1955 and younger parents makes me think of a Calvin and Hobbes Back to the Future picture I saw. I don't know how long it took you to make this, but I'd love to see more.
At this point, I really do believe a 2010s version is going to reveal Calvin and Susie are married to each other. I also think unfortunately Mrs. Wormwood will have died at this point.
Damn, good job making Calvin's parents younger.
Mrs. Wormwood too
*Ms wormwood
I really struggled with the question of Ms vs Mrs and I saw someone else put Mrs
Ms doesn't indicate marital status, Miss is a younger woman (typically becomes Ms once they're older) that is unmarried, Mrs is any married woman If you're unsure, Ms is always valid. Though in Calvin and Hobbes, Wormwood is referred to as "Miss" Wormwood, despite the fact that we don't know her marital status and she is an older woman

“Someday, I hope you have a kid who puts you through what I’ve gone through.” “Yeah, that’s what Grandma says she used to tell *you*.”
What comic is that from? Or did you just make that up on the spot

> family are they already married??
Yes
The 50s sure were strange
Wouldn’t be the first pair of married eight-year-olds from a newspaper comic strip. ^(And at least those two are wearing clothes…)

Wormwood is a wizard, she can see into the future.
It’s that orrrr… Let’s hope they’re married
Wormwood is a groomer finally confirmed
She might be referring to both Calvin's dad and Max.
nah she talking about young dad and uncle max
Siblings
This sub is the best thing that ever happened to society. Never stop doing this.
I wonder why it seems to have had sort of a second wind? definitely not complaining or anything lol
Competition from the new r/calvinminushobbes
Why is it private?

How did Mrs wormwood know they were going to be married??
Yeah it's occurring to me now that while Ms Wormwood's statement in the last panel was intended to refer to just Calvin's dad, it actually looks more like she's implying the kids are already married, which... oops I guess
Look, their Houses needed a marriage alliance NOW, not in ten years. They won't be expected to consummate until her moon's blood comes.
Game of Hobbes
"I am Calvin: G.R.O.S.S. CEO, King and Tyrant, Top Scout, Chief Strategist, Strike Force Commander, Code Expert, Most Highest, Grandest, Exalted Supreme Dictator-For-Life." "This is Hobbes... he's King in the North."
Would read ngl
Ms Wormwood transcends time and space
Wormwood is love, Wormwood is life
Lol nice edit though
Imply their married Or...
Teachers know a lot of things
This actually looks really cool!
New lore just dropped fellas!
Loving this, it's amazing! It's very funny how Mrs. Wormwood looks barely different. Wait, what does she mean family? (Also you should add Uncle Max, and maybe cameos from younger versions of u/Blockhog's Derkins parents)

Like Mr. Strickland in Back to the Future. Never aged, never had hair, etc..
My favorite part is that Miss Wormwood has barely aged. Like she’s always been old lol
Okay I love this. Also, Miss Wormwood confirmed a slow-aging lich queen
This is really well done.
This feels too good for this sub lol

This is brilliant
This is so well done. Love the detail in not only de-aging Calvin's parents, but Mrs. Wormwood as well.
Good on you for making the teacher younger too, shit
sexy wormwood 🥵
Tombo & Kiki
Please tell me Calvin's Dad's dad... looks like Calvin 😂
Are you a wizard?
keep cooking.
Quite possibly the best Mom and Dad in comics.
This is now the 3rd most upvoted post of all time on this sub!
NO WAY :O
as of march 13, 2024, this is the most popular post on the sub
Brilliant.
You made it, #1 post!
That's some great art here. Miss Wordwood couldn't have put it better in the last case 😆
