Make Da Goof Mug!
Tiki Farm, those fine purveyors of all things Nuevo Poly-Pop, have been soliciting Tiki Central members for new mug designs, and announced the 6 lucky contest winners yesterday. These talented folks will have their designs turned into actual mugs by the T-Farmers.
As much as I like the winning entries, however, I think the classic Christian's Hut "Goof" mug design by Eric Bass (shown above) should've won because, dammit, I want one!

Hey thanks for the compliments. I would make them but don't know where to begin. But if they get made by me, I'll make sure you get one.

My pleasure, Eric. There's a certain Rat Fink kind of quality to the Goof, and I think your design captures that perfectly.
He also looks a bit like Lurch from the Addams Family...
And seeing as you're based in Hawaii, if you ever wanted to take a stab at making your own mugs, I'd be willing to bet that Gecko would help show you the ropes.
