Hello Tiki Tavern, you’ve been a no-show for quite some time.
I’m wondering if those are all actual drinks.
That and if this comic day is still the same as when Harold got stitched together, or if some time has now passed.
Either way, Rye may be in need of a ride due to drowsiness.
You’ve heard of Rule 34, no doubt. I have believed for some time there is a similar rule for bartending: if you can think of a whacky 3-word or 4-word name, then chances are some bar, somewhere, has a drink by that name.
stick… those drinks, are indeed, real. I have one of them bartender books and I had fun fishing thru the bazillion different drinks for some interesting drinkee poos. Some cannot be mentioned in a comic strip…. um, maybe if you’re Stephen Pastis (and thanks for the “Short” joke you left on my desk on Tiki First Fri). Anyhoo, look up a Jackalope, Ink Street, Cookie Monster, or a Voo Doo.
To further, Squish’s tat is still there… Look close… I didn’t make it very distinct though… by accident, I assure you. And Kapu (the winning tiki drink some month’s past, would go good with Kola… maybe it should be Joe Minotaur’s Maka Kola Kapu! Still further, what have you against facial hair? and I did add blue eyes at the end… from black. Meh.
Grey & Shelby> Too True! I could make a whole bunch of drinks! It’s a fun & silly profession… Trader Vic & Don the Beachcomber had a fun job.
I think one of the worst drink mixes that I’ve ever heard about was a home made concoction that some friends called “Bile of Cthulhu”. They took lime jello and mixed it with ever-clear and some non-toxic phosphorescent liquid. It was this green glowing liquid with slimy green chunks in it. I heard the only thing worse than actually drinking the stuff was throwing it back up later.
brig… Yah, I bet bartenders have as much fun coming up with names for their drinks as they do creating the drink recipes themselves.
Stephen (Pearls) does have an often wonderfully warped sense of humor, however, I didn’t leave a comic on your desk this past Tiki FF. You’ll have to show it to me sometime, I’m curious.
The Kapu contest you had was fun and congrats to Joe for winning it. My Maka Kola reference was but a nod to your Maka Koa tiki of the past. I was thinking it was spelled like a “Mako” shark at first, but then went back through some of your comics and found the “better” spelling.
On the facial hair front. I don’t sprout any and have not had a guy drawing in your strip to relate to. Mostly it just came as a surprise, even as the character is likely a passing fringe extra that will all too soon fade into oblivion. Wow, oblivion… now there’s a great name for a comic city.
Pasha… Ha, you remind me of some purple fruit flavored slog named “Swamp Juice” that was served at a bachelor party I went to long ago. The groom to be ended up wearing some on his frat sweatshirt that had missed its puke target later in the night.
Pash… YAHK! anything with the word “bile” in it should be… run from! Although, glowing phosphorescent-ness does seem fun kinda cool. When we ordered a drink from Trader Sam’s recently, it glowed… but it had crushed ice (lots of rum) and a battery operated glow stick inside (which was ours to keep). It was rather fun.
stick… that wasn’t your cut toon? I figured since it was a toon about one’s height, that it was you who cut it from the paper.
I have a fondness for facial hair (done right)… I like ‘staches and goatees and nicely trimmed or interesting beards. I don’t, however, like wacko bushy mountain man beards… too much.

GreyWolf: Rule 35 of drinks. If there isn’t a drink named after a 3 or 4 word phrase, you must mix and imbibe that beverage.
Great naming rules.
Uh… Someone’s kraken tat seems to have faded…maybe washed off.
Love the shirts, am impressed that we finally have a guy with no facial hair…but whoa, did his eyes go from brown to blue?
Must be that Mako Cola I’m sipping on.
Er… Maka Kola. Think I’ll have another sip now.
