This strip is a pretty good demonstration of the fact that comic characters even within the same universe each have their own distinctive design, and, unlike actual humans, the wide variations in their head shapes means that you can't just slap glasses on someone who doesn't usually wear them and expect it to look not insane. But no matter how uncanny Sarge looks in this final panel, it's all worth it to deliver this joke about wearing eyeglasses in order to disguise the fact that you're crying, the normal and relatable thing that we all do and that would definitely work.
