Avid Schlock Mercenary archive-spelunkers may catch the fact that this is only the second strip in which Kevyn has shown us the face behind his glasses. They may also note that the last time we saw his eyes they looked different. This is not a matter worthy of plot-oriented speculation. This is just a case of the "artist" opting to give Kevyn's eyes some whites, so that he can show more emotion, and so that the enemy will know when to open fire (in the unlikely event that Kevyn finds himself marching on an entrenched position without his glasses on).

Only those completely new to Schlock Mercenary will miss the change in Petey's ears. Unlike Kevyn's new eyeballs, this change is a matter worthy of plot-oriented speculation. Please do not email the author for hints, however. He is busily scripting opportunities for cast members to march on entrenched positions.
