Pedo-Glasses
| “ | My frames are good; they look good to me, and they are the best fit for my lenses anyway. | ” |
| Chris, on his choice in eyewear. | ||
The Pedo-Glasses are the colloquial name for Chris's spectacles, the appearance of which have been described variously as recalling some form of sexual deviant, usually along the lines of a child-molesting uncle.
Glasses
They are double-bridged (to reduce tard breakage) and somewhat oversized, their roundness emphasizing Chris's rotund form. And they have a string attachment that nobody else under the age of sixty would use. Regardless, Chris has defended his choice of eye-wear with the truism that "it helps me see better", although they remained conspicuously absent from the comic for some time.
Often these type of frames and lenses are one of the few pairs by default available to a patient at low to no cost if they want to utilize their Social Security Disability Insurance on vision benefits. Of course, many tend to spend some extra cash on a much better pair of frames, but Chris has better things to buy.
Dramatic glasses removal
Chris has been known to emphatically remove his glasses from his face for dramatic effect in his videos, often putting them on just so he can tear them off again, like the manchild version of David Caruso. In various videos he appears to take his glasses off and throw them to the floor; the amount of time it'll take until he finally breaks them is unknown as of 2010.
