The eyes carry the whole face. Oversize them slightly more than looks natural.

Field notes
The photo dates to August 2014, posted with a caption that a friend’s hamster looked like a cartoon. It sat mostly unnoticed for six years until an October 2020 YouTube video stamped the misspelling “Hampter” over it and the format took off from there.
