* When chibi (aka [[Super-Deformed]]) artwork is commissioned of more ordinarily drawn art, this type of eyes is a common choice because it fits the character design well and emphasizes the animation of the simplified face.

* [[Garfield]] and most other characters in his strip have huge, oval-shaped eyes.
** Jim Davis frequently uses this trope, as seen in his other strips like ''[[U.S. Acres]]''. Surprisingly, despite practically being a trademark, the sphere eyes in ''Garfield''were a result of [[Art Evolution]], as the characters originally had normal circular eyes.
Line 27:
* Several of the characters in ''[[Pearls Before Swine]]'', usually the humans and crocodiles. The other characters, such as
* ''[[FoxTrot]]'' generally uses this for every character that isn't Jason. 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.
** Exactly the same happens in ''[[Calvin &and Hobbes]]'', but since the characters are not normally drawn with Sphere Eyes it looks a bit creepy.
* ''Adam@Home'' is another example.
* ''[[Citizen Dog (comic strip)|Citizen Dog]]'' also usesused these eyes.
* 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]]''. [[Justified]] as he's a [[Blob Monster]], and the eyes are both discontiguous with the rest of his body, and interchangeable.
* Bob from ''[[The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob]]''
