Don mentions the alien's big, dark eyes, noting that they are
important. Ask any manufacturer of children's toys: what one feature
should I make sure to cover as I develop this toy (doll)? She/he would
tell you to give the doll two prominent dark eyes. Look at any Muppet,
Disney character, Barney--(also all stuffed toys) for this feature.
Child psychologists note the eyes as prominent in developmental
phases--bonds, etc. A screaming toddler or crying baby is often silenced
as he/she is mesmerized by the two dark eyes of any one stuffed
character. Jung-Schmung.
