Even though your dad isn't overbearing with all the detective nonsense anymore, he decided to leave this one here for old time's sake. It brings back memories of his very short-lived stint as a private eye.
Dad Crocker really is just Dad Egbert all over again - not just in looks, but in personality as well. My best guess is still adoption - that it is the same Dad, but he was adopted by Poppop instead of Nanna this time.
Granted, it's a little strange that the Condesce would allow this to happen. Dad's no ally of English, so why hasn't she reassigned Jane to someone more loyal to him?
You were afraid this might be the case. Your dad has blocked the front door with the REFRIGERATOR. Looks like he's taking the grounding seriously this time.
...maybe she doesn't care if Dad's loyal to English, as long as he can still be trusted to keep Jane locked down until Entry.
Dad's certainly got the Mangrit to handle that task, and he's clearly protective enough to do it on his own initiative, without needing to be coaxed.
Here’s Johnny!
I probably should have called this when the Act's opening only showed his arm - but damn, you really don't expect to see a stuffed corpse in Jane's house, do you? This tradition feels a lot more eerie and out-of-place in Suburbia, USA than it did in Grandpa Harley's House of Mysteries.
It practically went without saying your dad keeps poppop stuffed and mounted in front of the fireplace, as is the family tradition. [...] This was stipulated firmly in the will, at the end of a long list of joke stipulations. (Dad knew this was a real stipulation though.)
lmaooooooo
Y'know, the more I think about it, the more I appreciate the fact that John got to raise Dad this time around. You can really see how the two are kindred spirits - and if the original Dad had lived to see John grow up, this is a sad little glimpse into how close they would have stayed.
