Items related to Hobo Mom
Hobo Mom was collaborated on and drawn simultaneously by two cartoonists across the Atlantic: Charles Forsman, author of The End of the Fxxxing World (now a hit Netflix series), and Max de Radiguès, winner of a prestigious prize at the Angoulême International Festival of Comics for his 2018 graphic novel Bastard. Both of their clean line styles fit together perfectly to tell a sober and intimate story about an emotionally damaged family and the price of freedom. Tom lives a simple life as a single father of pre-teen daughter Sissy, but their estranged wife and mother has chosen a much different path. Natasha hops trains and has become a vagrant since leaving her family a few years earlier. After a dangerous encounter riding the rails, Natasha chooses to show up on the doorstep of the family she abandoned and finds an upset husband, although still deeply in love, and a little girl yearning for a mother. Can someone who covets independence settle down? Forsman and de Radiguès's Hobo Mom explores the ideas of being trapped in domesticity and whether one deserves happiness, even at the cost of others.

Review:
An understated, satisfying graphic novella.
An extraordinary story by two giants of the genre.
A short but unputdownable slice of heartbreak.
A tale of fractured family and personal freedom that you won't want to miss.
A quiet but powerful story... Forsman and de Radiguès are astute, emotionally observant writers.
In terms of both subject matter and style, it's difficult to imagine two comics artists better suited to work together.
