Peppa Pig is in the news. I still can't work out whether the artwork of this character is a brilliant attempt to introduce young children to cubism (bearing as it does a strong resemblance to "Woman in Hat and Fur Collar"), or whether it just went wrong.

I am further troubled by the glasses of another character depicted at the link (I believe this is "Daddy Pig"), which rest neither on his ears nor his nose. I think I may tomorrow spend a few minutes making a 3D model and a texture for young Peppa, to demonstrate what happens when you try and rotate her.

I take your point, but actually doing it like this is a fairly distinctive feature of Peppa Pig. For example, the Mr. Men website appears happy to show characters in profile with only one eye visible. And even then there's no reason to position the eyes so that they're actually ON the nose.
