Your crab has kind of a creepy creeper pedo-smile and the eyebrows aren't helping him combat that.

i always liked Alice n wonder land, but when i was little the movie scared me especially the cheshire cat so a change to a more harmless crab is a good idea for him i think.

heres another question: what does "Cheshire" mean anyway?

Apparently "to grin like a Cheshire cat" is an old English saying which just meant "to grin a lot". No one knows what exactly the phrase is referring to (according to the Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable it's possibly from cheese-makers in Cheshire, England who would mold their famously dense, crumbly cheese into grinning cat heads to sell to people) and since Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was all about absurdity, the "joke" of the Cheshire cat in the story is that there isn't really such a thing as a Cheshire cat. The reason he is purple is because Disney made him purple.

Maybe it'd be like writing a children's story in America with a character called The Gift Horse.

And yes, crabs are so much more harmless than cats. Although a crab would never back down from a fight:

Don't worry; crabs can't be pedophiles, it's physiologically impossible because of the larval stage.

Hahaha, you are so right! I never thought of it that way! But, that doesn't make the smile/eyebrows any less creepy!

Well, it is a crab. And crabs literally creep.
