About Dad[]
Dad is a well-built, Caucasian man with auburn hair. He wears square glasses with a black frame, handles, and light turquoise lenses. He wears a forest green cap with matching, turtleneck shirt; a Chelsea gray jacket with folded collar; light gray pants, and dark brown boots with light brown cuffs at the top. He is very meticulous when it comes to examining prehistoric remains. He is the paternal parent of Joan and Joey. He is a paleontologist.
Dad is in the middle of studying a fossil when Joan and Joey arrive in the same area where he is. Joan asks him if what he is doing is that important. But he's so busy with the examination he doesn't even notice that she brought him his lunch bag. He tells her that even right down to the smallest detail, it's important to him. When she asks him, "even lunch?", he realizes she has his lunch and he takes it. Joey asks how the search is coming along and his dad tells him there hasn't been much success. It's mentioned that they might have to move again if there's still nothing found. Joey, having grown attached to their current home tells him he doesn't wish to move, but Joan cuts him off before he could continue what he was saying. Joan tells her dad that they'll get going elsewhere. The kids wave goodbye to their dad, he waves back, and they continue on their way while he returns to his examinations.
Dad appears again after Joey and a pair of policemen arrive at the site and they tell him about the bank robbery. He joins them in the police car and they ride in search of the bank robbers. After he and the others eventually find them, the cops arrest the robbers. He finds Joan and asks if she's alright when he steps on a wad of gum. Dad then finds a stegosaur tooth, which belongs to George, who went off to hide, stuck in it and he's amazed by this. He says that he'll contact everyone who's involved in paleontology and Joan, and Joey, are glad, and satisfied to hear that they won't have to move away after all.
