Not much of him is seen in the opening. He wears a green suit jacket over a white shirt, and is bald on top with pale gray hair. He is much older than Jimmy's mother; Jimmy goes so far as to accuse him of being twice as old as his grandfather. However, given Jimmy's sarcastic tone, that was arguably an intentional overestimation of his stepfather's true age. In the postcard, he is depicted wearing a purple short-sleeved shirt over an off-white undershirt, with greenish-beige shorts/trousers.
