There are many references to characters wearing '''cool shades''' (or '''cool glasses'''). Often, characters will be seen wearing sunglasses or other eyewear. However, none of the main characters have any [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|visible ears]] or noses (with the exception of [[Strong Mad]]), so it is a mystery as to how these glasses are held up.
