Midsummer Daze

Spring 2025 is still just a few days away, so what better way to celebrate the final dying breath of winter than with a post called "Midsummer Daze." Excited, yes? I can hardly wait for this agonizing season to be over with, and as I was flippin' through a big stack of old Coronet issues the other day, like a bolt out of the blue, this cute key art story header really caught my eye. And why yes, in the exact same way our reclining beach beauty is catching the ogling eye of Mr. Gawksalot below too! The full length middle image is how it appears on the printed page, as photographed with my camera phone. The top and bottom images are just zoomed-in versions so you can really see all of the great "McKay" details. I do apologize though as I completely forgot to note the god dang Coronet date and issue number that this image actually appeared in, drat! But when I figure it out, I will most certainly update this post with that bit of information. So for now, just kick back, turn on some AM tunes, grab that bottle of lotion, and enjoy all of that gorgeous scenery!

Jeez, dude, be a little less obvious about the gaze! I like the kind of scratchy sketched out work here, and, as always good use of limited color palette.
