From Texas Tiki Week:
"The Menehunes are coming to Texas!!
That’s right! The crazy-talented Oakwash has made us an adorable Texas-fied Menehune as our official 2023 Texas Tiki Week mug! He's adorable & will be a happy edition to your tiki mug collection.
Hawaiian mythology speaks of little dwarf-like people who enjoyed life and work in Hawaii and, according to some legends, had magical powers, living in the deep forests and hidden valleys of Hawaii. Now we can all have our own little Menehune in our homes to help with mischief and Tiki fun! "
