Warm, and dry.
It helped that the local grocer down the mountain had a stash of Howard The Duck comic books to keep me entertained. I really liked the Howard title.
"Trapped in a world he never made."
(Just like me, and every other 14 year old in the world.)
It was those memories that made me excited to see the film adaptation of Howard a few years later, in the mid-80s.
The movie poster was prophetic: it really did lay an egg. And it really, still, haunts me!

Tee Hee! Spruce Knob!
All hail Howard!
Funny you mention that movie. I just watched it again. What memories.
I'll be talking about it on the next Paul and Spike Show.
I've never seen this film, and I never will.
Paul: I think about it a lot, oddly. It was ahead of its time.
Maybe. :)
Donutbuzz: embrace the beak, my friend.
The only family-friendly movie dealing with beastiality ever made.
I remember the hype well, and I, too, have never seen it. But after Paul's surprisingly glowing review of it, I might just have to seek it out. Even if just to say "now I've seen it".
Oh, and I heartily second All Click's "tee-hee" at 'Spruce Knob'.
Hey, what's funny about Spruce Knob? It's one of the most incredible spots in West Virginia ...
And F.G., I didn't make it past the first 10 minutes of Howard the Duck, all three times I tried to watch it.
There's nothing funny about a spruce knob. In fact, it's practically a requirement in the adult film industry.
OK, I think I get it now.
