Some of the best mugs I've seen. Taking two of the best mugs and combining them into one, you can't beat that.

You beat GROG to the "Suffering Bob". GROG had the same idea, but hadn't gotten around to doing it. GROG call dibs on the "Bob Shot", Tiki Bob shot glass. That next on GROG drawing board.
These look great, good luck in the firing and in the show.

Don't let GROG call any dibs!
He's too slow and lazy!
it's TWUE!
example:The Tiki Magazine Bamboo Ben cover....
Ernie told us about it about 9months to a year BEFORE the issue came out...
he was PLANNING on PAINTING a cover/homage to
Norman Rockwell's famous self portrait....
Well, with a month deadline looming,and
absolutely NO WORK done on the cover
His laziness caught up with him and
he had to switch to Photoshop
to finish the art....
It's gonna be a looooong wait
to get anything out of GROG!
we told him about the Clown Show
5 years ago!
so he MAY have something done for that event...
Great Mugs,empee!
Don't let anyone stop your groove by calling dibs!
Dibs are a losers' way to do something YOU had planned on doing...
only worse!

The basic body shape was the same, but GROG think MP's sculpt is better than what GROG would've done. The sketch GROG did had a different expression on Bob, he had a down-turned mouth and was half-lidded. And the bark texture was more like the original Bob mug. GROG like the texture on MP's mug better.
MP rocks!

Sorry Grog, Im not a real tiki artist so I gotta steal stuff and mix it together to make it tiki.
I was really planning a bastard-vics/skull mug marriage but I chickened out. My bastard and bob were
on the counter. It just lined up. Thanks for the good luck wishes!
Now Kenny... you give Grog a big hug at the clown show and tell'm you were just kidd'n.
By the way you told MP you didnt do theme shows. Whats this clown bizness. Now for fibbing to MP
your sentence is to do a collaboration with MP in his Haunted Hot Rods art show.
Your plywood car blank will be in the mail.
Thanks for dropping in Mike. Always happy to here from you buddy.

i'll give ol' Ernie a hug today at TikiG's Chop
and at the Clown Show next week...
i love Ernie,lazy as he is!

Hello all, so far so good...somewhat. We pulled all of my mugs
out today and only found a little hairline crack in suffering bobs
exterior. I went heavy duty on the interior glaze and Im hoping it doesnt
get any bigger. Had a mad rush glazing before the fam and I jammed down
to santa cruz for the night and Monterey Bay aquarium for tuesday.
As I was leaving the clay studio my mud buddies were loading'm up for a hi-fire.
Fingers crossed. The rest of the week Ill be trying to get some painting done for Saturday.
Kenny - What about a mpcollaberationclownmysteryvehiclething? 
Leleliz - all this talk about dibs is making me hungry. I am bringing a
square bob with a cool sample glaze just for you.
Babalu - Thanks a lot man. I think what I meant is I dont know tiki well enough
to just create new, classic tikis like a lot of the talented artists here on tc.
I really take to tiki mugs for inspiration. I have to get to know Tiki better!
Jason - Thanks brother! Hopefully I will have a velvet or two to share by saturday.
Ha! Dream'n. Im glad to see you rippi'n it up lately.
Cheers
