I will definitely mention TC in the upcoming series, at the very least.

With the new series, the hardcover and a possible TV show, I'd love to hit Tiki Oasis next year, too. More tiki cons, less comic cons!

That would rock. And you make an interesting point that tiki events would take on a whole new significance beyond just attending and having a good time. Tiki events would take on a role as a jumping off point (or expansion point) for concepts looking to get out in front of their audiences. Hawaiian Dick must appeal to a much broader demographic in order to get ratings points and hang in there. Good writing and good stories are essential. I also think you're right that having Johnny Knoxville and "dick" in the title will pay dividends for you. I'm looking forward to seeing how this goes. The images you shared earlier are very nice and rich in tiki.

Thanks, Ace!

When we first launched the book over ten years ago, we leaned heavily on Sven Kirsten's work (and sent him a signed copy of the first issue in appreciation), and spent a lot of time swimming in Tiki culture. Like, obsessively so.

One of my prized Dick-related souvenirs is our profile in one of the early issues of TIKI MAGAZINE...

I'd love to do a better job of hooking Tiki Nation into HD.
