John the Perv

As Elly Patterson looks through an enormous opening in the wall to the outside with there being no evidence of a window, John Patterson sits out in the open reading Macho Men magazine with a picture of a noseless, blonde woman on the front and an advertisement for Lion Tamer Cologne on the back. There is part of me that hopes that Macho Men magazine is a men’s adventure magazine, the type of which used to be popular decades ago. However, there is another part of me which says, “If John can’t find smutty books in the Contemporary English class material, then he is going to resort to smutty magazines instead.” Naturally, I cannot imagine John just reading a magazine like that out in the open where his children might come across him reading it. I also notice that as John reads the magazine, we see Elly sporting the enormous bottom she often waves about whenever she has negative thoughts about her appearance.
