Ha, now John-O has his 70s Afro connection!

Don´t let that hairstyle deceive you Bigbro.
Rarotonga is a Polynesian princess.

She wore that that hairdo long before Cleopatra Jones and other soul sisters.
Sorry John-O... :)

I think you are both wrong. Or right! Or maybe it's both.

Is it a very good documentation for character design from the artist?
The 70's look?
Is it just a coincidence?
synchronicity?
Life imitating art?

Or maybe the artist was in love with the legendary Mexican exotic dancer "Tongolele"?
On thing is for sure, this disambiguation/theory deserve another forum.:

Further research on "Rarotonga" the Mexican comic book will be posted here.
