Give A Show



Before you could buy cartoons for the kids to watch on DVD. Before you could buy them on VHS. Even before you could buy them on Beta there was the Give-A-Show Projectors. The item that would take a strip of celluloid and project the images on the wall or a screen. Kids would read the story from the words on the bottom of the strip. Eventually they started to come with a record that had actors telling the story. Well there is a site dedicated to this old art form called The Give-A-Show Projector Blog. It's a fun site that wasn't started by me but by Jon of Random Acts of Geekery fame. Click on the link above and check it out.

Thanks for the link, Rick! I appreciate it! The new blog's slow to start up (at least, so far as views go), but I'm hoping it'll pick up soon!

Hope you've been checking regularlly... when I start presenting the 1962 "Adventure Time" set, it'll start being in video form!
