Tiki Oasis 2023 - The Enchanted Sea - Mermaid Mug - by Eekum Bookum

a.k.a. Tiki Oasis 23 Mermaid Mug, Tiki Oasis XXIII Mermaid Mug in 3 collections

This year's Enchanted Sea theme doubled up on romance with two matching mugs made by Eeekum Bookum. The second, represented here, is a kissing mermaid. The first, is a wide-eyed diver with his helmet removed (shown in background illustration). Both are meant to be shown together as a tableau scene.

Issued August 2-6th, 2023 at Tiki Oasis, held at the Town & Country Resort in San Diego, California.

Created by John Mulder of Eekum Bookum.

The only way to guarantee a mug was to purchase a DELUXE pass.

They also sold these mugs ($150) in the convention center lobby on Friday August 4th at 10:30am.
