The Movembering Approaches

36 Notes

Movember is almost here. For those not in the know, here is the skinny on Movember:

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in Canada and around the world. With their “Mo’s”, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer.

On Movember 1st, guys register at Movember.com with a clean-shaven face. For the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.

Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words, they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

This year I will be growing a fine and lustrous* moustache in support of Movember.

As well, I will be posting a new drawing every day in the series “Manly Moustaches of the Animal Kingdom”. These will be examples of manly animals with manly moustaches thinking manly thoughts in the manliest of orders… alphabetical.

All I ask of you is your kind monetary support.

It starts in six days. And it’s gonna be awesome.

* Alas, it will be neither fine nor lustrous.
