Well that was me that said that, so I will clarify

Holden was asking our opinion on if he should do a run of The "Trader Verne" authorized reproduction of the famous Zombie mug
which is a vintage mug & highly collectable, It was not a new design.

I myself not being a fan of "monster mugs" said so in that same thread
but the pedigree of the mug in this case was not in question, due to it's extensive history.
which is why I said Holden knows what he is talking about, (Did you take that as admonishment?)

I believe you might not have been aware of the context of the thread, but if an artist was just posting
a new monster themed mug in the General Tiki area, I would agree with you.

And by now you should be aware I am usually the first person on here to point out that something's not Tiki
as I am sometimes called the Tiki Police by a few people who don't care about such things.

Now this also goes back to my other point above that you may not be taking my criticism as I intended
but as some form of attack, which I did not intent it to be.

Do you mind if I ask you your age? TikiTacky.

I don't dispute it's a neat mug, and it certainly has some cachet because of Verne's pedigree. BUT, I still don't see how it's tiki. Was it used at any Polynesian restaurants in the heyday of tiki? It certainly isn't Tiki Style. I didn't take your response as an attack, I just didn't feel like it answered my question about how it's tiki. :wink:

In answer to your question, I'm over 40.
