Description
THINGS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT CARE TO KNOW ABOUT FISH edition 1:When creating comics- specifically OFTF- I tend to have an image of a panel, a piece of dialogue, or a punchline clear in my head. Then, I try to make a comic around it. Not the best method in the world. xD
So this is a pretty good example of it. I literally just had Fish's first line ("We need to discuss the elephante in the room...or should I say ELEPHANTE!!!") and kinda worked the comic around it.
A lot of research went into this comic! I wanted showcase the magnificent variety of moustaches. I think my favorite styles are the Handlebar, Fu Manchu, and the Dali. Discuss!
God, moustaches just make comics so much better.

Thirded and Fourthed,
Are those words? Hell if I know...

Uh, in the Times, why is the little "teaser" (is that what it is called?) labeled, "I can practically smell the testosterone"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because testosterone is the essence of MANLY

Okay. I was just thinking some 9-year-old would go up to their parents all like: "Mommy, what is testosterone?"

Eh, it's nothing offensive. It's just an extremely manly hormone.
My comics are educational! 8D

o.0 Manyly?
....Is Mad not telling us something?

Mad is fiercely defensive about anything manly. BOYS > GIRLS GIRLS HAVE COOTIES NYAH NYAH NYAH and so on.
Mad is straight as a ruler, though. Don't get any ideas!

xD If girls have cooties, then what do boys have? >3

Gah, I really regret not taking part in this year's April Fool's thing. xD I created , after all. Moustaches are my specialty.
Anywhoo, this was awesome. xD Especially the "Oh so very manly" part.

Oooh, nice! Marth is finally looking manly!
...sorry Marth. D:
And thank you! That panel was hard to get right (tried not to cross over the line to perv/creeperville), but I'm glad so many people like it! 8D

I seriously died when Mad started stroking the Elephante's fur. XDD Oh so manly... *pets* This has to be one of my absolute favorites of yours. Moustaches seem to make everything utterly fantastic.

Also! Thank you for the font recommendation. I don't know if I'll stick with Lafayette, but using computer typography is certainly more efficient, legible, and cleaner than me handwriting. Thank you! 8D

Don't they? I'm thinking of making them a regular feature. I think it adds a poignant dimension to the comic which, before, was impossible to achieve. 8B
Thank you.

Elephantes = the ultimate symbol of MANLINESS.
I must say that Mad's expression in that panel is priceless. xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aren't they though? They are Chuck Norris' neopet of choice.
I'll tell you, I redid that panel a bunch of times to get the right expression, so I'm really happy it worked out.

In all honesty, I disagree with you on that one. While manly, the Tyrannian Elephante simply doesn't reach the level of GAR and hotbloodedness possessed by such manly specimens as the Mallow Grundo.
THEY HAVE SO MUCH TO LEARN. D:
It definitely evokes the right emotion. :3 Noice.

Such a nice variety of moustaches! I'm liking Mad's ruffly one in the first panel the best. XD

That one's nice! I call it the "Eggman". Guess who inspired it! o3o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Umm, I immediately thought of Eggman from Sonic, but then I realized his moustache is waaayy too bushy. DDDD:

Pretty much all the NTWFers. It was the big conspiracy prank this year. You can find a list of all the moustache-related entries on the forum.

Whyyyyy is the first thing I think of when I hear "handlebar" is the song I can ride my bike with no handlebars? <__<
Either way, OMA I totally lirl when I read this. xD I think it worked quite nicely. 8D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oooh, I don't know that song. I'll have to look it up. :3
And thank you! I tried.

Haha tbqh, I don't think it's worth the trouble. XD Repetitive+monotone = zzzzz

Words fail to describe how much I enjoyed this, but I'll try my best in the NTWF review. X'D

Eeee, thank you! I'm glad you got the joke. I was worried some wouldn't read between the lines. D:

This might become one of my favorites of yours, actually. XD

Random mustaches make the world go 'round.
I'm in favour of the tiny stache/goatee combo. 8D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it's a nice touch. However, you have to be careful not to go overboard with the facial hair. You don't wanna turn out like Cousin It.

In my opinion it isn't a comic UNLESS it has a a moustache.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I love how you had them with different mustaches in every panel. And all the people freaking out on the neoboards were hysterical.
I want a Tyrannian Elephante. :3 I bet they make good pillows with all that floofeh wool.

I know! I saw some screenies of the event. I love that some people thought that TNT actually drew the moustaches on the comics. xDD
Tyrannian Elephantes are adorable. They probably make pretty comfy cushions, too. Comfy, large, slightly smelly cushions.
