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.

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.

It's the perfect pic, thank you. I admit I was working from memory

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

Keep the stasch and call the character "Der humorlose Toaster".

I want to start a fanfic rumor that Ron is related to Ricky from Trailer Park Boys. Lol

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

Just slap on a brown cutout mustache
