"There's that fatherly figure we've been missing all these years!"
―Francis McReary

Plot[]

It has been nearly ten years since the death of the siblings' biological father. When Maureen takes her kids and their friends out bowling, she meets and falls in love with a nice man named Hector Wilson. Seeing that if Maureen and Hector marry eachother, this will give the siblings a new father, which makes all five of them excited.

Trivia/Goofs[]

  • This is the second longest comic of the series, as it was later surpassed by "Straight Outta Green Bay" at 38 pages.
  • Almost every character of the series introduced up to this point appeared in this comic. The only two notable missing characters were Albert Green and Steve Madison.
    • "The 100th Comic Spectacular!" similarly included appearances from nearly every character, having a lot more to work with as a Season 13 comic.
  • Tommy's Café from Dodgeball Mishap reappears in this comic. The climax of the special takes place here.
  • Gerry's three other favorite quarterbacks are revealed: Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, and Eli Manning. However, they were not mentioned again after this comic.
  • Second time in the series that Aiden McReary is mentioned since "Hello, Wisconsin!" and "The McRearys Get Schooled!".
  • This is the first comic to show the Wisconsin Warriors as an antagonist gang, like Tony said they were in Locker 239. Also, Giovanni Ancelotti is mentioned once again.
  • From this comic on, every character has a smartphone. The characters seen using a smartphone in this comic were Packie, Kate, Joel, and Jose. They were only Samsung-type phones with nothing much to them, and they would stay with the same box design until "Feeling Peachy", with the phones now having a brand and being more unique.
  • Second time a character's nose is broken, in this case it is San Salvador after Marco shoots him with a paintball rifle. ("Dodgeball Mishap")
  • San Salvador's Salvadoran background is mentioned again. ("House Party")
  • This comic marked the first appearances of Mr and Mrs Gonzales in two years. They last appeared in the Season 1 comic "Gonzales Vs. McReary", released in August 2013. Their next appearances are in the Season 5 comic "A Christmas Story".
  • It is mentioned in this comic that Claude has gotten hooked on the Nickelodeon series Henry Danger, which is a show that GTA Nerd personally dislikes.
  • All of the characters that attend Maureen and Hector's wedding aside from the McReary siblings themselves are:
    • Salvador R
    • Eduardo
    • Claude
    • Pablo
    • Zalma
    • San Salvador
    • Tony
    • Josh
    • Eric
    • Jose
    • Joel and Jose's parents
    • Michelle
    • Mark
    • Kiki
    • Shelia
      • Both Hector and Maureens' side of the families were completely absent, due to the characters not being created yet. In-universe, it was explained that Louis Wilson and his family were on a vacation, but the reason for Maureen's family not attending was unknown, even though she does have family in Appleton, Wisconsin (Maureen's extended family was also not created until two seasons later).
  • The scene of Hector meeting Maureen, as well as marrying her at the end, are recreated verbatim in 2021 prequel Zachary.
