[The Giant]

New comic is up.

[the_archduke]

Wonder what that plan entails, and if it will be like a normal Elan plan

[CoffeeIncluded]

Aww. And yeah, Elan, you know the tropes pretty well. I think that's about as good as any man is going to get from his girlfriend's daddy.

Cue the speculation on what the plan is. I bet it involves a lot of exposing evil plans.

[Guancyto]

Baby steps, Ian. Baby steps.

[DaggerPen]

More unspoken plans, Elan? Just be wary of trying to pull the same trick too many times.

Great strip, Giant. I loved the Ian and Haley moment.

[Ralcos]

Now I'm really jealous of Elan's character arc.
I don't know why, honest.

[Cikomyr]

Agreed. My father in law told me the same at least twice.

[Gwin]

Explosive Runes? Nice! :)

[rs2excelsior]

I hope that one day my future girlfriend's father is as understanding as Ian Starshine

Another great comic, I loved the development of Haley's relationship with her father.

[Great Dane]

Oh Elan, how I love you.

[AKA_Bait]

Nice strip!

More evidence for my theory that we'll be seeing an off-the-main-storyline book or something on the rise and fall of Tarquin's empire.

[Composer99]

"What is it? Explosive Runes?" - brilliant callback.

And the final-panel exchange between Ian and Elan? Hilarious.

[Mordae]

Better than future mother-in-law's Explosive Runes brand coffee for her little girl's freakish monsternice new boyfriend...

[Oko and Qailee]

Elan is setting his expectations pretty low at this point

[Kevka Palazzo]

Hooray! After the emotional roller coaster of the previous ~80 strips, I'm glad we're getting some light-hearted fun!

[Agnostik]

Laughed out loud at the last panel.

[Coliumbos]

Closest Elan's going to come to Ian's blessing I guess.

D'aww.

[MoonCat]

Someone who actually suspects Explosive Runes! Ian and Belkar should hang out more.

[DigoDragon]

Aye, Elan's statement on that last panel sounds a lot like the jokes I used with my wife's folks.
Frightening that they love my odd sense of humor.

[Sunken Valley]

Someone's had their coffee this week!

Now we have a new plan to speculate about.

[Morty]

That's the spirit, Elan. You need to take what you can get in this family.

[Edhelras]

The title??? Didn't get it. But nice to see a friendly father-in-law. I remember this father of a girl I dated ...

[Shale]

D'aaaaaaaaaaaaw.

Speaking as a guy who met his now-father-in-law when the latter walked into a room shirtless and carrying a smoking rifle, I'm with Elan on this one. High praise!

[Sharoth]

~LAUGHTER~ So very true! You rock Elan!

[Barstro]

The plan (or everything else) is sort of (relatively) ok.

Starshine is OK with his possible new relative.

[kabukiman1973]

So, did Elan got a magic ring (without knowing) that increased his intel stat? Or did the GM let him roll again his int stat?

[NihhusHuotAliro]

Good strip today.

Yay for secret plans and stuff getting done!

Also, I really like how Ian Starshine is developing as a father to Haley. Maybe next he'll apologize for teaching her to be paranoid and untrusting.

[LBarimen]

As the father of three daughters, I agree with Elan, it's the best he can hope for.

[plasmid]

why would gannji still want to kill Elan? there shouldn't be any bounty on Elen's head right now.

[hamishspence]

I wonder if the "Truly" phrasing is a recurring motif?

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0345.html

If so, I like it.

He's talking about Amun-Zora.
