Flash Animated Mustache Contest

I missed the boat on Mike Hollingsworth’s clever short back in August of last year, but it’s worth another look. It’s titled ‘Mustache Contest’ and it features the creatures of the deep - a starfish, a squid, a whale and an octopus. Mike is an animator living in Los Angeles, and he and his friend Brittney Crump started Baby Bird Comics. ‘Mustache Contest’ grew from a comic, and has faired well over at Newgrounds.com.

I spotted Tom Kenny (voice of Spongebob) in the credits, and it makes sense, as I’ve read that Mike is also a comedian - like Tom. Or we’re all getting ink squirted in our faces, which is entirely possible.

Spotted at transbuddha.com.

    The way the fish float up after being shot is brilliant.
