Why a monocle? Surely he could afford glasses? He and Mr. Peanut need to pool their resources.

    Only one eye is bad.

    I could get away with a monocle, only my left eye has a prescription. But I tried wearing the one my grandmother used, and I genuinely don’t know how you’d get it to stay in place. So uncomfortable.

    Have to assume it was used more like a magnifying glass on a cord, but I’ve only ever seen people with them on like the ad above.
