This was actually a bonus strip that I snuck into the the normal storyline.  There was a strong belief that Andy Weir’s April Fools day guest strip from 2001 was real cannon.  People really thought Splink was a cyclops (which confused people on the “See it in our eyes” gag in the crossover.

So I decided the best approach was to cloud the issue with more gags.  I had intended to do more of these “Splink’s eyes” jokes, but I never got around to it.
