I'm not quite sure how you connected this to eboniphilia, which is apparently a sexual preference to 15-19 year olds. Getting a realistic tattoo of someone is a symbol of familial pride and affection, of questionable taste and class. Who's turned on by that?

e: the 15-19 year olds is ephebophilia, which is what my search engine guessed you meant. Maybe it guessed wrong and you meant something else.

Yes! Lynn, give us the FOOB reboot/sequel we deserve. For Better or For Worse: April Takes Off! or For Better or For Worse Sotsu: Answer Arc depending on how much of a weeb you want to be about it.

Yeah that’s what I meant it’s not his blood child and apparently the relationship is fresh enough that she refers to him and her mom’s boyfriend.

But also Dan's been with Shauna's mom long enough to have fathered Humphrey, who's like one or two years old. Ostensibly they've been together longer than that. There's nothing textual to support anything sexual about the tattoo.

Dan is an enormous dork(so a standard-issue dad), not a creep. He got really excited to show his paternal love for his adopted daughter and followed a dumb impulse. :shobon:

It helps that for all the raunchiness Allison is fond of he's a level-headed guy that doesn't do creepin'. In before somebody reminds me of an ancient Scary Go Round storyline I forgot(I think Bob Crowley tries to marry Erin when she becomes an amazonian giant but that's in line with Bob being the godfather of raunchy evil) but this isn't 9CL.

Or you're sitting directly above the rear right tire and as the bus turns right in an intersection you happen to glance downwards and see a pile of snow and ice beneath the window and the driver is cutting the corner. Next thing you know you're lying on the floor in the aisle hurting all over.

It reminds me of how Rip Haywire can't shut up about pancakes or whatever. Jules seems to think that if she has Mark repeat it often enough, it'll become a lovable catchphrase.

ah but you see yesterday's strip said "sometime later", so this is clearly taking place between panels 1 & 2 of yesterday's comic. verdict: no plot hole :smuggo:

Hhhhowever. April was never real, Lynn never needed to write this arc, it's abundantly and plainly clear just how many points of failure and neglect it took to get to this point (rather frankly too, without advanced knowledge you'd think this is Ellie and John and everyone learning a lesson about not being complacent or lasseiz-faire about having multiple kids) and this is just pure "making up a child to get mad at for literal decades" so LET'S loving GOOOOOOOO

I understand how Lynn got to this place. (Spoilering for people who don't know where this arc is heading) She has a comic where the characters age in real time. Farley is starting to really get up there in dog years, so something needs to be done with him before things get too ridiculous. A "time to put our old dog to sleep" arc would be a spectacular downer, so she chose this route so that he can at least go out on a heroic note. It's a shame that her imaginary third child, who's not even old enough to pronounce her own name when this happens, then ends up being the one who gets the blame forever. Can't remember if this is an attitude that ever appears directly in the strip or if it's just the strip's fans being weirdos, but either way it's gross.
