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:
“Though an unpleasant sort of person, and even a queer threatener withal, yet, if one meets him, one must get along with him as one can; for his ignorance is extreme. And what under heaven indeed should such a phantasm as Death know, for all that the Appearance tacitly claims to be somebody that knows much?”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Every natural fact is a symbol of some spiritual fact. Every appearance in nature corresponds to some state of the mind, and that state of the mind can only be described by presenting that natural appearance as its picture.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Look into the world—how often do you behold a sordid wretch, whose straight heart is open to no man’s affliction, taking shelter behind an appearance of piety, and putting on the garb of religion, which none but the merciful and compassionate have a title to wear.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
