Thank you for this excellent service, the lowered eyebrows ad to the drama nicely. If that twisted humor would be applied to the whole comic, it would improve greatly. Damn, wrongdimensionboy, I wish I would have had the color version of that 'Tiki gods' ad for the Book of Tiki, it's in the surfing chapter in B&W. And I wish I would have had the space to point out the funny way they are referring to Gardner McKay in his TV show "Adventures In Paradise" without naming names, to avoid copyright issues: "Millions of TV viewers have each week seen the TIKI GOOD LUCK CHARM worn by the romantic Sea Captain" Huh!? If I would be at home, I would post a photo of McKay with his Tiki amulet, which actually was a small version of the amazing grinning Marquesan Tiki figurehead on his schooner (which was named the "TIKI"). With his ship he plied the South Seas fighting bad guys and romancing a different hot babe in every episode of this James Michener penned kitsch fest. As a small boy, early Tiki collector Dale Sizer (see his pad in "PAD") was so impressed by Captain Adam Troy wearing that Tiki as an icon of cool that it fuelled his later Tiki obsession.
