Appearance
In the novel, Blart's figure is described as not being very prepossessing; His head is too big, his eyes are too small and close together and his nose looks as if it has been squashed into his face. His mouth constantly hangs open. His body seems too short but his legs are too long, and the clothes he wears through the entire novel are too small and constantly cluttered with dirt and mud. His image is insulted frequently in the novel, a notable insult being Princess Lois's remark 'Weasel-features'.

Famous quotes containing the word appearance:
“What! Would you make no distinction between hypocrisy and devotion? Would you give them the same names, and respect the mask as you do the face? Would you equate artifice and sincerity? Confound appearance with truth? Regard the phantom as the very person? Value counterfeit as cash?”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
“February is a suitable month for dying. Everything around is dead, the trees black and frozen so that the appearance of green shoots two months hence seems preposterous, the ground hard and cold, the snow dirty, the winter hateful, hanging on too long.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“The President has paid dear for his White House. It has commonly cost him all his peace, and the best of his manly attributes. To preserve for a short time so conspicuous an appearance before the world, he is content to eat dust before the real masters who stand erect behind the throne.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
