Looks like the question choices are getting a bit thin...

Amber can take off the glasses dramatically, but she can also pull off a Caruso and put them back in an equally epic manner.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

this bit also pokes fun at the 'wardrobe as character' convention a lot of comics seem to use, where the clothing and accessories used by a character never change, as if fans wouldn't be able to tell who a character is without them wearing that one outfit.
TVtropes has a page on it actually. Limited Wardrobe (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LimitedWardrobe).. (warning, Tvtropes has been deemed to be a Weapon of Mass Distraction, read at own risk..)

Oddly enough, this is true for any article of clothing.

Personally, I like the multiple removal of glasses joke from the movie "Airplane".

I propose forum rules against posting TVTropes links. Just saying.  :3

On a completely different topic, I wonder if Amber likes Puppies?

Also, don't QFTR pages usually end a chapter? Does this mean Friday's update will feature the start of another chapter??

People who don't need glasses have no reason to think about them very much.
To this day, people are sometimes surprised when I take my glasses OFF to read something.

So, yeah... A character who needs glasses will probably take them off now and then. And because that character needs glasses, finding them again is the next entertainment event of the day.

and people who don't need glasses, but wear them anyway (like jyrras) generally exhibit the same behaviors.

I keep telling my wife not to leave breakable things near the bed.  In the morning, my search for glasses looks like Mr. Magoo in a china shop.
