Cool, cool glasses!

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 visible ears or noses (with the exception of Strong Mad), so it is a mystery as to how these glasses are held up.
