You do know that Cyclopes have poor depth perception due lack of binocular vision, just relying on focus cues. Just stand a foot out of club range and you are safe but they won’t know it until the swinging club misses, but you really have to watch out for their archers!

Don’t forget, it won’t be the first time in their lives they’ve swung a club, nor did they lose a 2nd eye just yesterday. They have experience. Big swings not only do a lot of damage, but cover a lot of area, and all they have to do to extend their range limit is take a quick step forward.

Yikes! Maybe it’s OUR depth perception that’s limited (by a 2-dimensional comic page)!
