It seems one or two execs were having trouble imagining that Pa Grape and Lunt could emote properly without eyes. Evidently, they had missed the previous 15 years worth of videos. Anyway, they suggested that we add eyes to the characters. Of course we answered an unequivocal "no". But not before I took a couple of minutes to indulge my imagination to see what they would look like...
Well, we got a laugh at them around the studio.
By the way, I did Pa Grape with a pencil and Lunt on a Cintiq.

Mr. Lunt with eyes is just creepy. I was surprised to find out that you have a blog!
Yeah, we thought it was creepy too.
Hope you are enjoying the blog!
Gosh, Pa Grape with eyes kinda makes him look like one of the seven dwarfs. I like him better without.

Actually, we made a compromise for Universal: We gave Pirate Pa eyeglasses, which he normally doesn't wear with his pirate hat.
Bet nobody noticed.
Well, yeah, you did, and yeah, he normally doesn't. But I remember seeing Pa Grape with glasses somewhere before. Was it in the video about the Grapes of Wrath (Math)? It seems that one of the temple bars was bent up... or something.
I tried to use my wordpress username here, but it told me I needed to log in first, or something like that. So I'll just stick to posting "A Nonny Mouse"-ly.
See ya!

Yes, Pa Grape usually wears glasses, but not normally with his pirate hat.
The hat usually came down and sat right on his nose.
