there was this one kid I used to know from my mmorpg days who liked to put Devo hats on random imgs. I would very much like to combine that with googly eyes for maximum awesomeness.

I have googly eyes on my office plant.

A bit more "canny" than I'd expected.

Still not enough to get me to go back to reading X-titles.

Oh my god that Brood with googly eyes needs a HUG. Yes it DOES.

Also, Fantomex looks like a Ninja Turtle.

Those are all great. And with this treatment, Liefeld's art makes a lot more sense to me.

Synchronicity. I've been on a googly eye tear for the past couple of days (and a few odd decades). This is good.

And suddenly they all look as if they were drawn by Kate Beaton. Which makes them even MORE awesome.

Maybe this can be the bridge when my son is ready to transition from Caspar Babypants to Colossus and Banshee.

I approve of this and all googly-eye related posts from now until the end of time.

in the methow, my eyes are so wide at that they may as well be googly. <3.

It helps considerably that the X-Men, particularly during the 90s, were drawn in such an overwrought style (particularly by Jim Lee and Rob Liefeld) that they're already pretty high on the ridiculousity quotient.

Of course, I had to follow the inevitable and look for "googly eyes on cats".

I'm enjoying this far more than I should.

Goddamnit people you can't just throw on some googly eyes and call it a day, shake them shits around so they're all askew! This is how you do it.

Waitaminnit - so... like... Zerg are Brood? I forgot all about the Brood, but... seeing that googly eye pic instantly made me think of the Zerg so... There's clearly an inspiration, right?

Liefeld, yes, and Lee, I dunno, I liked Lee, but Liefeld? How'd that guy ever get a gig?

Shouldn't Cable just have one googly eye and one pupil-less dome full of gold glitter?

I highly doubt Dr. Sheldon Cooper would approve.
