Like a faithful dog, the moustache is truly a man’s best friend: it follows wherever he goes and makes him more approachable. And every November, it brings awareness to the subject of men's health, making it a universal friend of male-kind, everywhere.
To help raise donations for Movember, we created a series of animated shorts. Working with animator David Luepschen, we told the story of a first time ‘mo bro’, Max and his moustache, Murphy. From Murphy’s beginnings as a scrappy, stubbly runt, to that heartbreaking day on December 1st when they have to shave goodbye to each other.
