“Googly eyes are an infinite capacity for causing pain.”
The Tumblog Googly Eye Books features digitally manipulated covers of literary classics where the eyes of the characters have been replaced by googly ones.
Each photoshopped book cover is also accompanied with an altered quote from the book, making the joke more amusing or silly.
Perhaps literature lovers may find this childish, but this does make classics a lot more accessible.
