About
Welcome to the world of Bigfoot & Tiki. The world’s first sitcom…ic! The story revolves around the “oddest of couples” living together in Big City. First there’s Bigfoot, who grew up as a loner with a wallflower personality. Bigfoot often stood out in a crowd for all the wrong reasons. He was intent on living alone until little Tiki came along, with his laid back, island living lifestyle and “no worries” attitude. Hijinks ensue.
History
“The Bigfoot and Tiki Show” first appeared in the retired webcomic “YIRMUMAH” by D.J. Coffman as a wacky fictional television show in that universe. The original intent was to mock and pay homage to the old “sitcom” formula of odd couple roommates by coming up with the most absurd and unbelievable pairing ever. The two became fan favorites and at one point almost landed a REAL pilot on a 24hour cartoon channel who shall not be named. 😉
In early 2010, the big kahuna of Lanikai Ukulele envisioned a FUN way to promote their awesome ukes and come up with some unique spokes-characters. While searching for “ukulele comics” on the intergoogle, he discovered Coffman’s old “uke comics” and reached out. Unknown to the big kahuna, Coffman had a strong desire to one day see Bigfoot and Tiki on their own ukulele in the future. And the rest is history!
The Yirmumah comix were great! Looking forward to the new series!

HOORAY! I now have a reason to smile at work. 🙂
These are the greatest ukelele – related comics that I have ever read. It is in my immediate future to purchase a uke. Now there is purpose in MY life…only now do I feel at peace.
These comics are GREAT. They are the best Uke comics I have read because I not only love the Legend of big foot… but I also love Ukuleles and the entire culture that surrounds the awesoem instrament. great work guys. I look forward to the great thing to come in the future.
I used to have a link up to your old site with those vintage crazy ike and his uke comics. Do you still have them? If you can’t put up the page anymore could you scan them on a Adobe format and I will put them up on my site again with credit to you. Thanks for your consideration. http://www.ukesterbrown.com ukesterbrown@yahoo.com
