He had also lifted the original logo Tiki off the studio lot when the show closed, but it has since rotted away in his yard in Waikiki. I posted the above 1 Year before "Tiki Modern" came out :) Doug Mossman brought the sign to a meeting with me and Dug Miller. He had it in the trunk of his car, and I photographed it on the pavement of the parking garage. What I really appreciate about the Tiki on the sign is that its eyes are far more off-set in abstract-modernist stylization than on the statue. It was a stroke of good luck to find that Connie Stephens photo on e-bay last year, nobody was watching! I love the naivety of the press caption on the back:
