Twoflower's Eyes

[Tonyblack]

What all this comes down to is artistic interpretation - or failure to understand what the writer had written.

If we take Josh Kirby's artwork as 100% correct renditions of Terry's characters, then, according to the paperback cover of Eric, the Luggage doesn't have hundreds of legs, it only has about thirty. And Rincewind is a white-haired old man.

The writing inside the book is more important than the cover.

Don't judge a book by it's cover!

Well! I can't be original ALL the time, can I?

I read the bit about four eyes, and immediatly thought of glasses, but somehow my imagination edited them out and I thought of him without glasses until I watched the film. Now he's always going to be Sam Gamgee dressed as an American Tourist to me.

You think that's bad? I 'made the mistake' of trying to fill the commercialbreaks at 'The Big Bang Theory' by reading a bit Science of Discworld.... NOT Healthy for the brain.

From Interesting Times (page 77 Corgi paperback)

They invented things. In fact, he recalled, he'd been instrumental in introducing a few of their devices to Ankh-Morpork. Simple, innocent things, like clocks worked by demons, and boxes that painted pictures, and extra glass eyes you could wear over the top of your own eyes to help you see better, even if it did mean you made a spectacle of yourself.

Sounds like glasses to me.

In Eric, the eponymous hero is described as wearing glasses, without any fuss. Should we assume that Twoflower brought glasses to AM?

 

[Tonyblack]

Yes! And dentures and cameras!

Although Eric lives in Psuedopolis, not A-M.
