I just posted it to make his hairs stand on end twice! :) Kahiki Witco- under bright, florescent lights: Personally- I don't agree with it exactly, but wouldn't doubt that the painting of tikis seemed ok sitting next to PNG imports being adorned with color. Combine that with the dark lighting in tiki bars (where the bright colors don't show up as much), Orchids of Hawaii schwag (the Party City tiki of the era), North Pacific totems and the 60s psychedelic movement - With all that going on, something's going to get painted when it starts looking aged..
