The artwork is deliberately aping childrens' art. Children find it hard to deal with the idea that a realistic depiction of something will usually require part of that thing to be obscured. A child's drawing depicts every major feature if the thing - because Peppa has two eyes, they both must be there even though this means they get placed in a bizarrely unnatural place.
I would think this would be because children haven't yet gotten the idea that "everybody knows" pigs have two eyes. They think that if you were to draw a pig in profile, showing only one eye, the viewer would assume they were looking at a one-eyed pig.
