Outch. I felt bad when I mistakenly labeled the Duke Carter's "Tiki Quest" mug as a Squid design (instead of a Munk Tiki mug) in "Tiki Modern (which was not the only mistake I made in it), but this is one biiiiiig "OUTCH!"

I know that Jay tried his damndest to do right for everyone, and I know that he (and Holden) meant no harm, but I can imagine the frustration that Squid must feel for not having his contribution to the genre portrayed correctly. The majority of the artists in the mug field are very humble and low key guys with a passion for Tiki who do not make a big-to-do about their talents, so it is easy to not get "noticed" --but in this specific case and circumstances it is a bit hard to swallow.

We all try to do our best, but are human and not infallible. I am glad that there is a forum like Tiki Central so folks have a voice to publish their view and correct mistakes, at least for the immediate Tiki community.
