    You're not a real artist unless you have a real moustache

    We all know how it feels to be outmatched by another artist. Be all know that feeling of both great admiration and massive envy. The crushing knowledge of defeat can make the most proud man break down and cry. That knowledge, that no matter what, you will never have more than the second best moustache. Sometimes it just feels like this
    Please contribute to this important and relevant thread

    Oh, and names, please.

    Philip Alexius de László


    Akseli Gallen-Kallela


    Albert Edelfelt


    Salvador Dali


    That's okay, Nietzsche, you don't have to be an artist to be able to have an awesome moustache!

    Friedrich Nietzsche


    Sir Claude McDonald


    Hercule Poirot

    Serpian, this one just seems so much more ballsy though
