        It’s the eyes – rather than the tops angling in towards each other like weebles with a crush on each other as usual, they’re leaning away from each other like weebles harboring severe misgivings about each other’s company. Which -and you won’t be able to unsee this- gives them a sharply downturned angle on their inner side, suggesting very, very sharply angled evil eyebrows.

        Walky has gone over to the dark side.
