Picks Black

What are my cat's black ear flakes and eye boogers?

I have been picking black eye boogers off my cat's face (eww, I know, it's a mommy complex) and today while I was scratching his head, I noticed he had icky black flakes coming out of his ears. It kind of looked like flea poo, but it was IN his ears as well. I wiped them clean but I am still concerned. My roommate says to take him to the vet if it comes back tomorrow. What do you think?

Sounds like allergies (eyes) and ear mites and/or fleas. Yep, a vet visit is in order.
