“When being extremely judgmental about something, we are likely to narrow our eyes.”
Merriam Webster
“GAZE, GAPE, STARE, and GLARE mean to look at something or someone for a long time. GAZE suggests looking steadily at something with feelings of interest, wonder, or admiration. • She was gazing at the moon. • GAPE suggests looking in wonder or surprise with your mouth open. • tourists gaping at celebrities • STARE suggests looking with your eyes open wide, often in a rude way. • Don't stare at him, it's not polite. • GLARE suggests looking in an angry way. • The speaker glared at the people in the audience who were talking.”

“The elegant economy of the drawing and the wild inventiveness of such pictorial devices as the towering pitcher's mound and the impossible perspective of Snoopy's doghouse keep the repetitiveness, talkiness, and melancholy of the strip a few buoyant inches off the ground, and save it from being fey. —John Updike, New Yorker, 22 Oct. 2007”
