Thanks for the dancing banana, Brudda Bear. :)

Sorry if my post shattered your visions of Uncle Walt, but dude when did Mr. Disney become such a sacred cow here on Tiki Central ?? Yes, I will admit that the Enchanted Tiki Room was probably the key childhood memory that inspired the latest generation of So CA Tiki Revivalists (since none of us could drink in Tiki bars). Actually though I never made it into that attraction as a child.

So in the spirit of Uncle Walt, and in the spirit of the politically incorrect "shenanigans" of Tiki culture, let me share with you my poster of the "Disneyland Memorial Orgy"...

In keeping with the "cartoonists who got screwed over in life" sub-plot of this thread (which can't be derailed according to the Bigbro), it was done by the late great Wally Wood for an underground newspaper in 1967. Mr. Wood was probably the 2nd greatest comic book artist after Jack Kirby, yet he died by his own hand in 1981, forgotten and of failing health in a small Van Nuys apartment. :(
