The clickthrough looks to be the pre-shading linework. Open each image in its own tab and swap between them for a hypnotic effect.

The "google eyes" may be there as guidelines to make sure he spaces the eyedots properly, and also that he knows where to put the stress lines around the eyes like in panel 4. That's just a guess, though, since I don't know why that would result in Daisy getting pupil-dots. Or why he rotated the children in panel 6 just one degree counterclockwise for the finished product.

What I'm trying to say is that following an artist's process can be pretty weird, and maybe should not be attempted by anyone.

I feel like he took the pre-shading linework and then just drew circles or pupils for each eye as appropriate.

Day of the Bean: http://www.daisyowl.com/comic/2009-09-30

It's all about the eyebrows that little mark next to Owl's left eye.

Clearly Driscoll's unorthodox method of using googly eyes to plan out facial expressions has paid off again.

I have had a day when all I ate was beans.  See, during a particularly painful healing period post dental surgury, I went crazy for lack of meals or meat in particular anyway, having only been able to eat soft things like ice cream and such for what seemed like ages but was probably only a week or two.  For some reason I thought canned refried beans would fill the desire I had for substantial, high protien food stuffs.  No.  A few spoonfuls of refried beans was fine, but a whole bowl full?  I was too young at the time to have thought it through.  Surly with some sour cream, soft-ish salsa and melted cheese it would have been much more meal-like, but I was a young, foolish bean eater.  Or maybe it was bean day, only I didn't know it, being human and all.  Never again.

I once ate 1 3/4 lbs of baked beans (all of a large-ish can) in one sitting. Just to see if I could. Man, I paid for it 6 hours later but I just had to see if I had it in me, ya know?
