This bright-eyed gentleman is Fauntleroy. He was born in Nebraska and got into the punk music scene with his first band, Vicious Milkshake, at the tender age of fourteen. He criss-crossed the country for the next twenty years before settling in San Francisco, where he owns an ice cream parlor (also called Vicious Milkshake).

Monsters with Mustaches Case Study #5: Zaft



Name: Zaft
Age: 37
Mustache: Jaunty Pencil

The expression in this portrait is characteristic of Zaft, who is frequently surprised. He is surprised when his vintage bicycle gets a flat tire. He is surprised when he realizes he's planted too much zucchini in his organic garden. He is surprised when his partner, Terry, remembers his birthday. He is surprised everyday when he looks in the mirror and sees his mustache, as he often forgets it is there (and has been, since it appeared one morning in 1983). Interestingly enough, thunder and lightning do not surprise him, as his large horn-like protuberances are prone to tingling before a storm. Zaft enjoys watching thunderstorms with Terry.
