Cool, thanks.

So getting back to the original question, we could say that skulls and that sort of imagery have been present in tiki from an early point, but used mostly in a superficial and somewhat playful sense. I'm thinking that this would be consistent with mid-century tiki which we know as a form of escapism.

Bruce, how does that sound to you in light of the various posts above?
