It's a classic! And you beat me to the punch on this: I remembered this matchbook: Looks like it was THIS guy: Sort of a Tiki baby. Reminds me of Sponge Bob when his lips are trembling and his eyes are watering :) Now Eric is gonna make a felt Tiki out of it ! :D A plush version of that tiki is a great idea! I was considering doing a pendant of the little tiki, and I already depicted it in a painting that I did for abstractiki that I included when I drew his name in the mug swap from earlier this year. I used the matchbook cover from this post as a guide for the painting, and images from his urban archaeology posted here for some of the other logos.
