Q: In Munch's Oddysee, do Abe's eyes move around? In the recent bunch of screenshots for MO, Abe seems to be sort of staring into space. The Sligs and Munch look awesome, but Abe looks… well, sort of stupid. Please explain.

Alf: You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. Your obvious lack of training in the studies of anatomy and simple common sense serves to explain your comments. Abe's eye sockets are of the rotator cup variety, which allow him to swivel his eyes in virtually any direction, much like a chameleon. If you saw him ‘staring into space’, it may have simply been that he felt your gaze and chose to ignore you by focusing on a distant object.
