I think that is more a consequence of this picture being about the only one of John in existence, rather than a deliberate ploy to make you think xod (the chap on the left) is John. xod, btw, is black *and* white, by his own description -- a condition I myself aspire to, though so far without success. (Though I was recently thrilled when Gale, John's spouse, discerned in my visage a likeness to Eldridge Cleaver, about which many decades of boasting lie ahead for me.)
