When I first created Jim, I used to draw him with those little round glasses all the time.

Now I’m curious how hearing aids work for folks without external ears. Not to mention braces for teeth.
Magic(?)
And maybe no-shifting just in case.
There are hearing aid styles that are wholly in-canal.
They’re not that cheap, have to be custom crafted to fit the individual canal and their audio quality isn’t as good as over-the-ear. There are also other issues (like making sure they stay in the canal, and battery changing’s a pain)…
I think for folks with fur on their faces, you can get glasses with little clips too. Or velcro.
Bone conduction, maybe?
Well, why *wouldn’t* Jim choose the nearest wearable thing to the John Lennon ‘Windsor’ lens style?
I’m glad someone invented glasses for those with high or no ears. Bc my fursona would be upsetti spaghetti. She’s got slightly blurry vision, like me!
Btw a message for the creator(s) of Skin Deep, I have enjoyed your comic! I can’t wait for the next chapter to come out. (First time commenting on your work, but I have figured out why you’ve been too busy to continue. Life sucks.)
Xoxo! And how do reader questions work? Do you ask them in the comments?
In the world of Skin Deep, how many otherkin (humans who identify internally as a mythical creature) are actually unturned?
I have to say, as someone who actually wears pince nez, I have no idea how they went out of fashion. They’re comfortable and awesome. I had my computer prescription fitted to a vintage fingerset, and it was one of the smartest things I ever did.
I insist on large glasses (for that peripheral vision in street traffic, also, occasionally jerking my head around as I notice another vehicle a bit late), used to be close-ish to the limit where the optometrist has to sell you lenses made of special “high optical density” glass so as not to end up making a glass brick for your face, and have minor breathing issues thanks to a not-entirely-straight septum. I’m afraid that you’ll have to try harder to convince me. :-3
(Also, when I ride a bicycle, that small rear-view mirror that clamps onto the temple arm is pretty darn handy, too …)
