Daily WikiWeirdness: Fictional Moustaches

Today's WikiWeirdness is all about the soup strainer, the lip tickler, the pushbroom, the mo... the moustache! Specifically, a list of notable moustaches in art and fiction. As the entry explains:

Moustaches have been used by artists to make characters distinctive as with Dick Dastardly or the video game character Mario. They have also been or to make a social or political point as with Marcel Duchamp's parody of the Mona Lisa which adds a goatee and moustache or the moustachioed self portraits of Frida Kahlo. At least one fictional moustache has been so notable that a whole style has been named after it, the Fu Manchu moustache.

And of course there's no shortage of famous fictional moustaches. Gomez Addams. The Laughing Cavalier. Mirror Spock. Hercule Pierot. Ignatius J. Reilly. Yosemite Sam. Ming the Merciless. And even Rich Uncle Pennybags from Monopoly. I never realized before what a rich artistic pedigree the moustache had. Moustaches: not just for 70's porn stars anymore!
