I have vaguest memory of reading somewhere the eyes was something Ron was forced to put in and didn't want. Seems to track with reveals in Return To Monkey Island.

Either way I remember the end of MI2 feeling jarring and feeling a little cheated out of a real ending. I'm not sure if I still feel that way with everything we now know about the intent (keeping it spoiler free for anyone who's not played RtMI).

I love CMI so much though I agree with the article about how perfectly the puzzles and humour land. I have played it at a number of different ages and it always works for me.
