Wow, what a fascinating Tiki "Chain of Transmission" (aka Tiki design rip off): -I obtain a color xerox of the Enchanted Tiki Room ad from my Tiki agent at Disney's archives.
An examplary case study of Tiki devolution. Just shows how these chains operate: "Hey, D.T. has a good selling item, let's just COPY it!" D.T. not only swiped that design, but also the Tiki candle on page 184 (sans breasts), and to sell the two, they used my chapter 18 slogan "And The Gods Were Amused" in their catalogue. Yep, I was. Just wish they would identify it as quoting "The Good Book". |
