Meet Horace, our latest Curmudgeon Mug. Horace has always looked as though he woke up mid-thought and never quite finished it, his heavy eyelids hanging low beneath earnest eyebrows that once belonged to a much more optimistic man. He speaks slowly, not from confusion but from a lifelong suspicion that most things are not worth hurrying for, having learned early that enthusiasm tends to invite disappointment. Years spent watching the world repeat its mistakes from a comfortable chair taught him the quiet power of patience and the small satisfaction of being right in the end. Though his expression suggests perpetual drowsiness, Horace misses nothing—he simply withholds his reactions until they’re absolutely necessary, which, let’s be honest, is almost never.
Horace holds around 20 ounces, stand about 5 to 5½ inches tall, and is microwave and dishwasher safe. However, he prefers a warm bubble bath and hand washing in the sink, which will keep him looking his best for the long haul.
