So...where did the "draw circles around the pupil to show a character has become or is acting manic or crazy" come from?

It's supposed to be exaggerated iris, which evolved from concept of enlargened pupils.

not sure, but EEnE was the first show I saw do that. I know Doraemon did a similar thing.

...

Old Disney did it too I think

Disney was doing it already in the 40s

Pic related is from Mickey and the Beanstalk, from 1945 or 1947 I forget which

i guess they used it a lot on old Donald Duck cartoons. Crazy looking people can have "crazy eyes" or small pupils, so this look is imitated in cases where the eye normally is just a black dot by drawing the circles around the pupil.
They also used the effect for hypnosis, for example in The Jungle Book when Kaa hypnotizes folk, but it's an old visual trick

>tfw one time you saw a crazy motherfucker get those eyes in real life
>always thought it was just cartoony abstraction but it's fucking real, the dude had bloodshot veins circling directly around his iris

I've never been more scared in my life.
