It would mean a lot of editing though. And that's a surprising number of fake eyes. Not different eyes either, just different ways of portraying eyes. So many eyes. Maybe that's why the picture caught my attention. I just found it on tumblr, but I'm now realising I really want this kit. Imagine if I had all these disguises, how untraceable I'd be! "He went that-a-way" I would say... I wonder who the first person was to say that. Right, according to
TV Tropes the ruse turns up in the 14th-Century CE in Luo Ghanzhong's
Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and is later re-used, as a result of convergent evolution perhaps rather than direct influence, by both
Les Miserables and the Three Stooges, who I'm guessing added the "-a-". Any other leads greatly appreciated.
Am now singing "Why are all the fake eyes blue?" to a tune by Crystal Gayle.

Jesus, I missed them!
