    What’s the first supposed to be, Adolf Toastler?

      Oh, man… sorry it’s coming off like that. Since it’s called the Humorless Toaster, the main inspiration is Ron Swanson. At least that’s what I was going for…

        Ah. I think the moustache needs to be wider for that. Also, a label might be in order. Ron Toasterson or something.

          Agreed, wider and thicker with maybe a wavy/ ridge texture on the bottom half of the mustache and slight rounding/flaring on the sides that narrows to the top.

          https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1262480275/ron-swanson-250fp011911_400x400.jpg

          Feels like that’s a good reference pic for OP.

          Edit:

          But I do prefer #2 more. Like others have said, it’s simpler and easier to tell the expression.

              Mix the two and use a trapezoidal shape for the mouth, perhaps?

        Yeah you got the mustache in that realm. I don’t think it was intentional, but Hitler really did ruin the shortened mustache look.

        Have you tried a design where it has a mustache for a mouth? As another lemming described, wider and wavy at the bottom. And then it can move up and down when it talks?

        Edit: quick and dirty mockup. This would be my vote

        Hitler’s mustache was initially longer, however there was a decision to trim it. There are various theories as to why it was trimmed and shaped into the toothbrush as we recognise it for today.

        Some of Hitler’s bodyguards said that Hitler was a fan of Chaplin. There’s speculation (but not evidence) that he borrowed it because he liked Chaplin

          I always heard that it was a common style for the working class, and Hitler was trying to ingratiate himself to them.
