Description

I became curious enough after starting this comic to actually figure out whether the Japanese word for ‘moustache’ and ‘beard’ were the same or interchangable. It turns out that they’re both variations on hige, (髭) with the former being kuchihige, “mouth whisker” and the latter being arohige, “chin whisker”. Whitebeard is simply called Shirohige, “white whisker”, and that thing under his nose clearly isn’t facial hair, so I think the gag stands.
