Looks like mother will have to put her son to the test, figure out whether “Al” is a man or a woman, just like Leorio and Leroute did in Hunter X Hunter. XD
Apparently Hubbs’ mom is the only one who isn’t totally blind, although I think she dropped the ball on explaining boy and girl differences to Hubbs. Then again knowing Hubbs he probably ran away from the “birds and the bees” talk.
So, Hubbs’ mother has seen Al, while we readers have yet to see dear ol’ mom. Mother knows Al is a woman, while Hubbs is utterly in the dark on this fact. Al thinks Hubbs knows she is a she. Elsewhere, Sedine chuckles at the ludicrous necessity of Hubbs remaining in the dark, as knowledge that Al is really his dream girl, Ellie, from Chix n’ Wings, would send him running away in a sweat. What a great strip!
Transvestite? Harsh Effeminate male? Yes Tomboyish girl? Definitely. I guess mom calls them as she sees them. Awwww mom. You’re embarrassing me in front of my friend.
I’m wondering if we will see Mom tomorrow. What if BeaR decided to leave her as a voice from the next room we never see? In Dick Tracy, B. O. Plenty and Gravel Gerty have a child called Lil’ Attitude. We know from the faces of those who have gazed upon the child that it is one atrociously ugly kid. Yet the face has never been shown. It is left to our imagination.
Sounds like mom may have been in the Navy. What a mouth. At least we get to see that Hubbs might love his mom, but he has no problem disagreeing with her.
Also, don’t forget that the CEO of the company making the cheap phones that Ellie steers people away from has sworn vengeance against her. There’s a good chance she may have to stay in the “Al” disguise for awhile.

Now that is funny. Mom thinks Al is a boy looking like a girl.

Looks like Hubbs can do the angry Hulk thing very well.

Fortunately for ‘Al,’ I’m pretty sure Hubbs doesn’t know what a ‘transvestite’ is. ✨

Was kinda hoping Hubbs’ Mom would be the exception to the “Parental Rule” here …
… but apparently not. ✨AnyFace about 6 years ago
She sounds just like Biff’s Mom in “Back to The Future, Part II.” ✨

Oh boy… reminds me of my family. :/
I love that Ellie somehow manages to be so clueless though.

… I thought transvestites were men who wore pantyhose?…

The clothes cut both ways …

Having Kurapika’s voice probably doesn’t help.

And to think she would be your future mother-in-law… wait, that old grape that has bothered Sedine in the past is Hubb’s mom?

Now for the big money; does Mom freak out even more, or is she relieved when the Big Reveal takes place?

I’m hoping Hubb’s mother isn’t the same angry old lady from earlier comics.

Again, the detail here is amazing. Ellie looks beautiful in panel#3 and Hubbs looks like he is going to blow a cork.

I have a feeling Ellie’s cover is about to be blown.

I imagined Hubb’s moms voice to sound like Grunkle Stan’s from Gravity Falls.

It’s great when two clueless and blind people find each other — a match made in heaven

“WHO’S THAT FLIPPIN’ TRANSVESTITE????”. Why that would be your future daughter-in-law mom. Be nice to her…him…her.

Oh Ellie, are you SURE??

My wife came into my bedroom last night.
She asked, “Honey, please take off my blouse.” So I took off her blouse.
Then she asked , “Honey, please take off my pants.” So I took off her pants.
Then she asked , “Honey, please take off my bra.” So I took off her bra.
And finally, she asked , “Honey, please take off my panties.” So I took off her panties.
Then she said, “Honey, don’t you ever wear any of my clothes ever again.”
