He's got the same googly eyes, the same Frankenstein's monster stitching on his left wrist, same toothless looking upper mouth, same sun, BUT no tag under the last button on his shirt, no wedding ring on the "rehab" pic, khaki shorts instead of jeans...it's the same freaking photo!

I knew Elaine's hand looked weird behind him in his bed!
