I realize this is a kids comic, but to me it is an example of why I would not consider myself a true revivalist: When certain "qualities" of a times past, like this inane, mindless and indifferent banter are perpetuated today as if there has been no evolution in human consciousness since the 50s, it gets scary to me.

But then, this is just in keeping with the current power elite and its media. Decades of human insight and wisdom seem to have never happened. Those who do not remember the mistakes of the past are condemned to repeat them.

Fully aware of that Tiki is all just about fun, and obviously MEANT to be escapism, I am weary of Tiki-type revivalism when it seems to be bordering on reactionary revisionism.

I am not getting political here, merely philosophical, pondering the age old question: Are you a Betty, or are you a Veronica? :)

And I certainly do enjoy all these amazing old comic book covers, that is some fine research, wrongdimensionboy. Wish I could look into the Adventures of South Seas Girl, and find out about what her super powers were!
