Fun fact: my left eye is much more sensitive to red, and my right eye is sensitive to blue. I have a lot of trouble seeing colors correctly if I have to use only one eye, and I see much better in the dark with my left eye, even though I'm right-eye dominant.
I'm not sure how common this is, or if I'm affected worse than other people, but when I'm not doing color-sensitive work, it's kind of cool.
In any case, I do apologize for the gross technical inaccuracy of this drawing. I would never eat movie popcorn. Yuck!

You know, I've noticed something similar to that in myself... I thought it was just my head messing with me, cause it's really subtle and I only really notice it in certain light...
But this drawing is hillarious. :) I love your work, you have a lot of emotion in everything you do, whether it's humorous or serious.
And yes, Movie popcorn... when I was young (and it was fresh popped) it was AWESOME! Now, it gets shipped by boat from some 3rd world popcorn country six months ago...

They did a test on tv about taste buds and distraction. They had some big bags of movie style popcorn and had the stuff sit out for a few days in this giant bag. They then offered free bags of popcorn to people on the street, nobody liked it. They then had a free movie showing and gave them the same popcorn. People loved the popcorn.
Not too similar of a condition, I suppose, but my left eye is far more sensitive to sunlight than my right. If I'm in direct sunlight on a sunny day, and my gaze is much higher than the ground a few feet in front of me, I generally have to close my left eye or it hurts. Artificial light doesn't bother it, though. It's the reason I'm largely nocturnal.
As for the picture, I find it amusing.

I'm actually sensitive to the wrong wavelength for red (slightly off in the receptors compared to what the majority is tuned to) so I also have some color problems (real pain in the rump doing electronics work with so much stuff color coded). Hadn't heard of anyone until now though with such an unusual spectrum shift.
I have a lazy eye, meaning one eye of mine doesn't work up to snuff. After an operation and wearing an eye patch until I was 9, I still only have partial vision in my bad eye. At least my eye doesn't drift off anymore.
There was a point of saying all that though. I'm like the opposite. I can't see 3-D if it relies on blue and red 3-D illusions. In nice places like Disney World they have a brown film for 3-D effects. :3 Those I can see.

I don't think your the only one that has that a curing problem. You see all people has one eye more blue and one eye more red, how ever we can't see/notice it most of our lives, mainly because most doesn't put a big notice to it.
I think his name was Cloud Monet, but I'm not sure so don't hang me up on it. But the painter got this problem with his eyes and the colors got weirder and weirder, after an eye operation, his paintings was soft/pastel and calm than before.
Is kinda hard to explain all this, but I hope you understood some of it :3

Wow. That's the most, um, unique version of Claude Monet's life story I've ever heard.
I think that everybody's retinal pigments are slightly different from their left eye to their right. My right eye sees colors slightly warmer than my left. Not drastically, but enough to be visible.

*giggles softly* No, this is not exactly his life story is just his a bit of his elderly years and many experts noticed the dramatic changes in his works and I find it a little bit fascinating. Cloud Monet's problem was literally a fairly common problem that some elders experience as well and I believe it was cataract and after having the operation, his works became different.
Now, this doesn't mean that Wacoon has this sort of problem, just wonna make sure to state that ;3

I went looking to educate myself, and what I found was fascinating. Monet's colors got muddier and less distinct as his cataracts advanced, and he started using broader brush strokes, because he could no longer focus well. He eventually had cataract surgery on his right eye at the age of 81, which restored his perception of violets and blues. He was so frustrated by the recovery time required, he never did consent to having his left eye worked on. As a result, he was never really able to use both eyes effectively again. (lens replacement wasn't developed until the 1940's, so cataract removal usually resulted in a loss of focusing ability).
I was skeptical that something as delicate as cataract surgery was being done before WWI, but the first reference to an operation on the eye for cataracts was 29BC! Brave souls. I think I would have to do a LOT of drinking before I'd let some ancient Greek come at my eye with a bronze needle.

Having the eyes respond slightly differently is probably the norm, but few people actually take time to work out the 'callibration' on their MK I eyeballs.
I know that my right eye is more nearsighted than my left, and it sees things about half a shade brighter. That's my dominant eye, actually very good for technical work, great detail on close scrutiny.
My left eye, while a shade better at distance(not enough to really write home about, and darker in view, has one useful feature: it does not respond to glare. You could put a lit 100-Watt bulb in front of my left eye and not only does it not hurt, but I can read all the markings on the bulb. A cute party trick, but the real good luck comes in when driving, the eye that catches the low sun coming in the driver's side does not care about the glare from the low sun.

I used to see different colors from each eye. If I closed one I saw different colors with the other one. Then I had an accident and I pretty much ended up with an eye that sees and another that mostly sits there for the free ride...
Curiously, after my last car accident, they switched and I started seeing clear with my bad eye, while my good one became blurry. Then they switched back... which makes me think my eyes are ok and it's my brain that it's fucked up (which should be no news for anyone who knows me)

It sounds like it's particularly obvious in your case, but I'm just like that :3
I don't remember which is which, but there's a relatively noticable difference between the way both my eyes see colors-
and I'm left-eye dominant, but see best in the dark with my right 8D

I'm actually kind of similar, but I'm an OCA2 (Partially pigmented) albino, my left eye has minimal pigment and is more sensitive to light but has better night vision, but my right eye is the stronger of the two and the more pigmented. The left is also more sensitive to cool color, while the right favors warm.
