Line 8:
Of all animals, cats and snakes are most often exceptions to this rule, both having eerie green or yellow eyes with slit pupils. This absolutely has something to do with the [[Cats Are Mean]] and [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]] tropes.
 
This can look downright weird where animals with eyes that are even less human-like are concerned. Where have you ever seen insects with recognizable pupils outside of cartoondom? Other than [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20130723172637/http://animalwebguide.com/Praying-Mantis.htm praying mantises], which actually do seem to have pupils.
 
A variant of this trope is to draw animals which would have sideways-facing eyes in real life, with frontally placed eyes. This makes it easier to animate the otherwise laterally placed eyed character's eyes and facial expressions.
