Line 11:
Alternatively, if a character with separate eyes has an excited or scared expression, his/her eyes will change into this style.
 
Note that these eyes are '''connected''' to each other. If you want to add examples that include separate eyes, then do so on the inversions list. Otherwise, they're [[People Sit Onon Chairs]].
 
Compare [[Conjoined Eyes]], which uses just one eyeball with two pupils.
Line 21:
== [[Comic Books]], [[Newspaper Comics]] and [[Web Comics]] ==
* [[Garfield]] is an example, since he (and most other characters in the strip) has huge eyes.
** Jim Davis always uses this trope on his strips like ''[[USU.S. Acres]]''.
** Surprisingly, despite practically being a trademark of Jim Davis, the sphere eyes were gained through [[Art Evolution]], as the characters originally had normal circle eyes.
* Most characters in ''[[Heathcliff]]'' have these too.
Line 28:
** And don't forget Bill the Cat.
* Most of the characters in ''[[Buckles]]'', such as the title character.
* ''[[Shermans Lagoon|Sherman's Lagoon]]'' is also an example of this.
* The characters in ''[[Pearls Before Swine]]'' usually have these too.
* This is also used in ''[[FoxTrot]]''. It was even parodied in one strip where Paige cuts ping-pong balls in half and puts them over her eyes to give the impression that she's not falling asleep in class.
Line 36:
* Plus, it was used for characters in [[Matt Groening]]'s comic strip ''[[Life in Hell]]''.
* The Groening-inspired character designs of [[Isaac Baranoff]]'s ''[[Horndog]]'' and ''[[Here Wolf]]''.
* Sergeant Schlock from ''[[Schlock Mercenary (Webcomic)|Schlock Mercenary]]''. [[Justified]] as he's a [[Blob Monster]], and the eyes are both discontiguous with the rest of his body, and interchangable.
* Bob from ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]]''
 
Line 43:
* Present in pretty much any [[Rareware]]-made game you could care to name.
** And by extension, [[Donkey Kong]] and his pals in Nintendo's post-Rare games.
* Human Peasants (as well as Sheep) in ''[[War CraftWarcraft]] 3'' are rather conspicuous for this, in contrast to most other units whom are modeled with regular eyes.
* ''[[Hero Smash (Video Game)|Hero Smash]]''
* ''[[Bubsy]]''
* [[Cut the Rope|Omnom.]]
 
== [[Web Animation]] ==
* ''[[Simons Cat (Web Animation)|Simons Cat]]''
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* [[Matt Groening]] uses this trope often by doing this to the majority of characters in ''[[The Simpsons]]'' and ''[[Futurama]]''.
* [[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]] also has huge sphere eyes.
* Most characters in ''[[South Park]]''.
* In the [[Disney Animated Canon]], some of the comic relief/cartoony characters, most notably Sebastian in ''[[The Little Mermaid (Disney)|The Little Mermaid]]'' and Mushu in ''[[Mulan]]'', have sphere eyes.
* Even animal characters in some non-Disney hand-drawn animated films, such as Batty Koda from ''[[Fern Gully]]'', have these too.
* ''[[FostersFoster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]''
* ''[[Chowder]]''
* [[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?|Roger Rabbit]].
* The main cast of ''[[Veggie Tales (Animation)|Veggie Tales]]''.
* [[Eek the Cat]] also has huge eyes, similar to Garfield.
* Human characters in ''[[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]]'', if an emotion calls for them.
* ''[[Rocko's Modern Life]]'' (however, it is inverted with the title character)
* ''[[Catscratch]]''
* Buddy from ''[[Animaniacs (Animation)|Animaniacs]]''.
* Norbert from ''[[The Angry Beavers]]''.
* ''[[Regular Show]]''
* ''[[Mr. Bogus (Animation)|Mr. Bogus]]''
----
=== Inversions: ===
* Pokey the horse from ''[[Gumby]]''.
* Many of Seth McFarlane's works like ''[[Family Guy]]'', ''[[American Dad (Animation)|American Dad]]'', and ''[[The Cleveland Show]]''.
* [[The Fairly Odd Parents]]: The eyes on these characters are actually somewhat of an inversion. Their eyes are large ovals but they are ''not'' connected together.
* Many of [[Aardman Animations]]' characters.
