Kokotomo Island was one of the elements created for ''[[The Halloween Cameo Caper 2014 (series)|The Halloween Cameo Caper 2014]]'' by [[Hogan]], and visualised by [[Aggie Janicot]]. As the conceit of the event was that those elements could be freely used by writers in their own comics tying with the ''Caper'', the Island can arguably be considered an open-source concept, although it has never been formally dubbed such by Hogan. Janicot, on the other hand, explicitly noted that her reference visuals for the designs of the Island and [[Mr Montibar]] “may be copied and used within your comics; feel free to use”.<ref>[http://www.dragoneers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=8957 ''The Setting of Kokotomo'' on Dragoneers.com]</ref> | Kokotomo Island was one of the elements created for ''[[The Halloween Cameo Caper 2014 (series)|The Halloween Cameo Caper 2014]]'' by [[Hogan]], and visualised by [[Aggie Janicot]].

Kokotomo Island was a thinly-veiled stand-in for the eponymous setting of the 1970s fantasy TV series {{w|Fantasy | Kokotomo Island was a thinly-veiled stand-in for the eponymous setting of the 1970s fantasy TV series {{w|Fantasy Island|''Fantasy Island''}}. Indeed, ''[[The Setting of Kokotomo (short story)|The Setting of Kokotomo]]'' noted that it could be referred to as “''the'' Fantasy Island”, and in ''[[Tales To Behold Halloween Cameo Caper 2014 (comic story)|Tales To Behold Halloween Cameo Caper 2014]]'', Montibar nearly refers to his island as “Fantasy Island” before correcting himself and giving its name as Kokotomo Island. As such, Montibar serves as an analogue for Mr Roarke, the host of the series and Chief Magistrate of Fantasy Island. Roarke was played by {{w|Ricardo Montalbán|Ricardo Montalbán}}, whose name “Montibar” vaguely evokes; Montibar shares the canonical Roarke's style of dress, although they look somewhat different. | ||
