"People always ask me, ain't I pissed my son's a queer? To be honest, doesn't bother me one bit!"
-Pops, jan/2010[1]
Gunnar's dad (aka. "Pops") is an original kangaroo character created by the artist Anti_Dev. He is one of the main characters of the Incestaroos series.
In Pops' first known appearance, Anti Dev has described him as "a drunk, divorced dad who, every now and then, gets just drunk and horny enough to let his son suck him off (despite being straight himself). All the dad wants is to get off, but his son just loves sucking that big dick at every opportunity."[1] He is 50 years old.[2]
He has had various appearances in standalone pictures with and without Gunnar throughout the years, but his most notable appearances are the comics: Father's Day (2013), The Fuckening (2014), The Rise of Chet (2018), and Wilson (2020). In this last one, we see him as a young adult who was acquainted with Wilson, from the Brogulls series.
Trivia:

- Was bald by age 27.[8]
- Anti Dev joked that Pops and Gunnar host a cooking show called Incestaroux.[9]
- Anti Dev has stated that Pops has a proper name, and both him and Arcarc know what is is. "But I like him just being “Pops” so I doubt I’ll ever reveal what it is."[10]
- Pops is divorced.[11]
- Pops is bisexual. Anti Dev thinks of him as "being straight for most of his life and then leaning more bi as he got older".[12]
- He and Gunnar's "idea of a date night is probably just eating a frozen pizza and banging for two hours, which they do often."[13]
- Regarding sex with people other than Gunnar, "Pops is a free agent but most people aren’t interested in scruffy single father with no job and poor hygiene."[14]
- "Has never known shame, and never will."[15]
- Has been referred to as an "ass man".[16]
- Anti Dev has also commented that he is "Really into the idea that Pops has had a volatile/contentious relationship with absolutely everyone he’s ever known except Gunnar. Gunnar is the only person who has ever genuinely liked Pops."[17]
