Anime enthusiast Ernie the Giant Chicken here. The dad is wearing a t-shirt depicting Shou Tucker the "Sowing Life Alchemist." From the Fullmetal Alchemist Manga, Anime, and lost Anime. In order to keep his accreditation as a state alchemist, Tucker claimed to have created Chimera (animal hybirds) capable of human thought and speech. His first Chimera only said "Let me die." This was shortly after his wife abandoned him and their child.
He produced a second Chimera when he was due for re-accreditation, that the Elric brothers discovered that he had created by fusing his dog and his daughter together. Tucker admitted this, broke down laughing and admitted that he had committed crimes against man, god, nature, and he would do so again.
Shou is not a great father, he's in the running for the worst.
Speaking of bad fathers, it's about time I payed a little visit to Mr. Griffen.
I'll leave you with this meme. Anime loving Ernie out.
No, it's canon. It's been some time since I saw FMAB, but from what I remember, it stopped short of actually saying it. Ed asked about Shou's wife and her disappearance, and he confirmed it.
Additional fun fact from someone who is not a part of the family guy universe: According to the creator of Full Metal Alchemist, Hell exists in the FMA Universe SPECIFICALLY for Shou Tucker
