This episode features The Mustache, a secret weapon designed by the government to make up for the facial hair gap (the Russians had already been working on The Russian Beard, who also appears in this episode). The Mustache is trying to meet up with the Russian Beard and it chooses to inhabit the Tick's lip for protection.

The Mustache is being pursued by Jim Rage and the ladies of Project: Shave, Kitty Sangata (Ninjitsu, Demolitions, Electrolysis), Holly go Lovely (Kung Fu, Demolitions, she devil with a comb) and Crystal (Liberal Arts, Demolitions, red hot with a hair dryer). OF course, their funding had been cut in 1986 and Shave didn't really even exist anymore, so Jim Rage is basically a big loser.

Project Shave
