## Relationships

### Love Interests

#### Crispin Cienfuegos

After meeting Crispin picking Judy up from work, the two felt an immediate attraction, but he rebuffed Crispin's advances due to Judy having a crush on him. They kissed at the school dance, but he rejected him after his sister saw them. After Judy uninvited Crispin and Ham re-invited him, they happily danced together and started dating.

### Family

#### Beef Tobin

Ham is close with his father. He, Beef, and Judy often plan parties, albeit with his sister doing the bulk of the work and them just being told where to put the decorations.

#### Kathleen Tobin

Like all his siblings, Ham has a negative opinion of his mother and is glad she walked out on them.

#### Wolf Tobin

As with all his siblings, Wolf and Ham are close. He happily agreed to help him operate a sunset cruise in “Curl Interrupted Adventure”. During Wolf and Honeybee's wedding, He, Judy, and Crispin performed a piece for them.

#### Judy Tobin

Out of all his siblings, Ham is the closest to his younger sister. They dub themselves “Alaskan twins” despite being born 9 months apart. They have a very complicated secret handshake.

#### Moon Tobin

As with all his siblings, Ham is close to Moon. They used to share a room and play a game together called "Monster Brothers". When Moon was forced to give up his security item, Dagmar, Ham gave up his magazine in solidarity. When questioned on this by Moon, he said "you had to give up something you really cared for, so I thought as your brother I should do the same." In "A Bear-tiful Find Adventure", Moon reveals he used to wish he had a sibling he was as close with as Ham and Judy are. Taken aback by this, Ham reassures Moon that he *is* that sibling for him, and that his relationship with Judy doesn't change that.
