Scary Shiny Glasses/Web Comics

Examples of Scary Shiny Glasses in Web Comics include:

• El Goonish Shive:
  • Tedd subverts this. His glasses look like this trope, but function more as Nerd Glasses. They once functioned as true Scary Shiny Glasses while he was ranting in full Mad Scientist mode about a new invention.
  • His father, on the other hand, has nearly identical glasses and works as a The Men in Black. Not to mention that even compared to the other The Men in Black he works with, he's shown to have an unnervingly clear picture of all the weirdness going on in Moperville and the surrounding areas.
    • Tedd's father also demonstrates this when he's extremely angry and at risk of losing his temper.
• Dave Davenport in Narbonic has these glasses while he is walled off from the truth about the Tinasky Study, but his eyes are visible when he goes mad.
• The masked man in Miamaska. Though it's more of a built-in visor to his mask.
• In A Miracle of Science, Dr. Haas' glasses turn like this the very instant he's infected with Science-Related Memetic Disorder.
• Quite a common trope in Funny Farm to illustrate the sinister (although not necessarily evil) nature of some characters, e.g. here and here.
• Nip & Tuck do this with a minor character here, as part of a ridiculously elaborate practical joke to scare a blowhard.
• In Everyday Heroes, this is how Professor Odious is first seen, hinting that Jane Mighty may have a Dark and Troubled Past. Lampshaded here where he explains how he obtains the effect.
• Fedya in Rhapsodies. Normally he's a good natured, gregarious and laid back individual who enjoys playing the Funny Foreigner, but when his glasses turn walk away slowly.
• The BLU Medic pulls this a couple of times in Cuanta Vida.
• Dale in this Questionable Content Shout-Out.
  • This one, too.
    • As well as This one. Dale really seems to live for this trope.
    • Really, since he started his challenge with Marigold, his glasses have become permanently Scary Shiny.
• In this Comedity strip. Also note the discreet Rule 34 insertion.
• Homestuck's Eridan Ampora sports these after he gains the powers of the White Wand used to murder Feferi.
  • John Egbert as well, on a couple occasions.
• Samurai Princess's Peter Fawdry is fond of this.
• Eerie Cuties. In one strip Nina has one of these moments even though she's not wearing glasses.
• The hooded man from Miamaska has his first appearance with this.
• Parodied in this strip from Frankenstein Superstar.
• Mordecai from Lackadaisy.
• Exiern: Denver, who is usually a bumbling nerd, breaks out the Scary Shiny Glasses in this strip just before thinks get dangerous.
• In Samurai Princess if Fawdry's glasses are shinning it's a good sign that you are about to take a bullet to the head.
• Girl Genius usually goes for crazy eyes, but has its moments too.
