In Righteous Gemstones Episode 2.5, the flashback to 1993, four-year old Kelvin has a cover of Muscle & Fitness on the wall of his room.
Not featuring Dick Stark, top photo, or Steve Weatherford, left.
I've never heard of either, but apparently they were famous enough to rate covers and nude photos.
You can only see Kelvin's cover for a second before Judy turns off the light. Notice that it's positioned very low, at Kelvin's height.
Being a research fan, I looked through the entire Muscle & Fitness cover gallery to find the issue chosen by the set dresser. Notice that it shows a man with very short hair, arms akimbo.
I worked at Muscle & Fitness in the 1990s. Joe Weider was extremely homophobic, worried about gay men reading our magazine, so almost every cover featured a man and a woman together. A number featured just women. The only male-only covers during my four years at Muscle and Fitness featured a celebrity, usually Arnold Schwarzenegger, but sometimes Lou Ferrigno or a sports figure.
