Introduction...
1975 -1978
1978-1980
1980-1982
I drew this in 2003. I had originally intended to continue with more installments taking me up to the present day but I never got around to it. Still and all... it's those years as a kid that inform movie love as an adult. When it comes to the summer blockbuster, they feel more vivid than the years that followed. Nowadays my best friends always want to go to the beach. I always want to sit in the air conditioning with a tub of popcorn staring at the screen. Hitting the beach beforehand: a pleasure but hardly a requirement.

Blogging challenge! If you have a blog share a memory of summer moviegoing from you childhood over the next few days. Let me know you did and I'll link you up in a follow up post next Tuesday, the 22nd. Consider it a warm up nostalgia exercize for Eddie Copeland's 30th anniversary of Star Wars blog-a-thon --(that's on May 25th) you will not want to miss that one.

I did one. It's a tad bit corny, but hey, when is nostalgia not?
You can't romanticize something without pummeling it with euphoric terms and labels.
Wow, you deserve kudos for this great post. Will we ever see more of it? :)
Wow, those panels are awesome.
Ditto.
Amazing...
Here's a nostalgic summer movie memory I wrote about a while back that I think would work well for this.
BTW very nice artwork. :)
Wow, a wonderful illustration with superb images on this blog. I hope more romantic in the coming weeks in this blog.
I loved those drawings the first time and I still do. So good.
Nat, I've also decided to participate. Great challenge! I also love your drawings--very impressive.
Excellent work, Nat.
Regarding Grease I pretty much BECAME ONJ after that film. It was the most influential film on my childhood (and I have the photo--of 8-year-old me in spandex--to prove it).
I also hated the Heartlight song, but I looooved E.T.
Time permitting, I'll post something more detailed on my Grease obsession.
SECRET OF NIMH ROCKS!
