Dad on "Family Guy"
Answer:
PETER
Hint:
This bumbling, beer-loving patriarch often gets into absurd schemes and is known for his distinctive chin and catchphrase "Heh heh heh."
Explanation:
This clue refers to the main father figure in the animated TV show Family Guy. The character’s full name is Peter Griffin, but the answer is just his first name, "PETER," since crosswords often use first names for brevity. The show is well-known for its humor and pop culture references, so fans would recognize him immediately as the bumbling, lovable dad.
