National Lampoons Hitler-Tiki Parody

Back in 1972 National Lampoon ran a spoof called "Stranger in Paradise", about Adolf Hitler's new life in a tropical paradise. The cover featured a Hitler look-alike (supposedly an impersonator named Billy Frick) with a parrot on his shoulder and a pineapple cocktail in his hand in tropical surroundings. The article read as an average travel magazine piece about a "modern day Robinson Crusoe" who had found his Paradise.
The thing that hits you the most is the bizarre, almost grotesque contrast between National Socialism and the aloha lifestyle. Fun, in an unpleasent kind of way.

Ha! Odd timing there, since we were just watching "Guess Who's Back?" - a comedy about what would happen if Hitler were somehow transported to the future and dropped in the middle of modern-day Berlin.

And that is one nice looking peacock chair.

...just not really "Tiki".

Looks like a candidate for the "Celebrities in a Peacock Chair" thread.
