I noticed two things about this. First, John has a firmer grasp on reality than Elly. Second, he's a better artist.
I imagined him ganking some clip art (or the 1981 equivalent), but definitely the reality bit. :)
The Josephstons?
The Josephstons?
A bit of name-replacement algebra with a touch of "meta."
I like to imagine that John's middle name is Pat. Rod's middle name is John, so he has a somewhat redundant-sounding full name: Roderick John Johnston. So I imagine John is John Pat (or Patrick) Patterson. Just as Lynn chose the characters' first names based on their real-life counterparts' middle names, John named his avatar after his middle name. In Elly's Yammersons, she renamed John "Joe" (or "Joseph"), so "Josephston" is a nod to "Johnston." :)
