Not to take any side just to sort things out

First I really like the Goof idea. The thought of it myself just after the TikiFarm contest while flipping through the Book of Tiki. But no, I didn't summit a drawing and I can certainly see how it wouldn't be a first thought to make it as a mug.

I like the Tiki Farm mug but Alientiki drawing really cemented the idea into my head as a mug, months ago.

Tiki Farm's goof is cool cause its an exact looking mug from the matchbook.

Alientiki, I would say is my favorite of the two. More personality and it has eye-brows. Eye brow are pretty important.

Who really has the rights to this Goof design. The Resturant? Nobody?

Could have went better if Tiki Farm did think it up first (and should have let Alientiki know about it) or did Alientiki think up the mug idea first.

Cause

This certainly isn't an orignal design. The only thing original about it is that it was thought up to be used for drinking out of. The same goes for Alientiki and the Goof

Really if I was a big company, I could make this mug first and sell it first and say that who really owns the rights to a uklale?

This isn't totally a new idea as well. I though it up before the contest but I wanted to win with a design that was 100% (or as close to it) mine. The artwork of the back is certain original but another mug company could just as easily make this and say it was totally an Oceanic design.

This is a forum so I'm just here to talk, not personal say anyone is crazy and piont fingers. But I think there is certainly more to the story and communcation is key.
