Dynamite goes to Disney World - August 1975

Welcome to Magazine Monday – Walt Disney World Edition. Who else vividly recall’s Scholastic’s Dynamite Magazine? To me this was the only decent publication from Scholastic’s wide range of snooze-control choices. Dynamite was published from 1974 thru 1992, this early issue from August 1975 is #14.





Let me know if you seeing anything interesting that I didn’t include in this post.





Considering that Dynamite Magazine generally had a artsy-funky-crunchy-granola mood mixed with innocent (not so funny) humor, this four page Disney World article is pretty good.











This style of “art” for kids always struck me as odd, even as a kid. It’s as if the adults assumed the kids were on acid. Where’s the Green Meanie?





The only thing that seems accurate about this survey is that Skippy is on the bottom of the list, JIF of course should be #1






Whoa more Licorice Pizza artwork, I’m getting a weird mid-70’s groove on.






What in the world is going on here? Count Chocula meets Wolf Man Jack! This explains all those weird dreams I had in the 5th grade.

Coil Box Courier - August 1958

Welcome to Magazine Monday (on Tuesday). Technically this isn't a magazine, it's a newsletter, but close enough. From August 1958 it's the Coil Box Courier, a newsletter for antique automobile buffs (The Horseless Carriage Club of Southern California).








Break out the sewing machine and you to have your very own wardrobe for Disneyland!










Go back to 1958 and buy some of these "oldies", store them for 50 years and your rich!

Flying Models - September 1956

Welcome to Magazine Monday. Flying Models Magazine from September 1956 featured a very young Tomorrowland’s flight circle.





Here is the entire Disneyland article, that’s right, there isn’t one! Just a little blurb near the bottom crediting Disneyland Inc., for the cover photo.





Cox would not become the sponsor for a few more years, but their Thimble-Drome engines were already a hit!






How come my Monogram models never looked like these?

24 hours in the air – wow!






I want one of those adorable little Sea Fury Outboard motors, how darn cute is that?






Glow Plugs and cans of “Glow fuel”, what a neato hobby!!!

Live Steam April 1987 - Popular Mechanics October 1971

Welcome to Magazine Monday. Today’s magazine features Walt Disney World related articles. And since Walt Disney World isn’t exactly Disneyland you get two magazines in one post.

Up first it’s Live Steam from April 1987.





This detailed four page article has a lot of information that was “new to me”.












This article of from Popular Mechanics October 1971 issue. I’ve only got the article, but you can view the entire issue on Google Books here (link). Disney was “Green” decades before it was cool!

Teen Magazine - June 1961

Welcome to Magazine Monday. Today we’ve got ‘Teen Magazine from June 1961. Be sure and check out both previous ‘Teen Magazine posts here; February 1961 (link) and September 1962 (link).

“Teenage Woman” Tuesday Weld graces this issues cover.





The Disneyland article of course is not about Disneyland, it’s about new clothes! Are those ticket books the young ladies are holding?





These would be the exact type of books the princess’s are holding.





These 5 Adventure books were similar to the books you could purchase once inside the park, they have no admission ticket attached. This book however is a “Courtesy Guest” book and was not for sale.





Five tickets like this are inside, good for ANY ride or attraction. Choose wisely.






Back to the article, I wonder if the young ladies got to keep the tickets?








“Too much sugar in a tea cup”? Lollie-pop colored blouses and Soda-pop shades of lipstick.






Those candy apples are going to get messy! The Dumbo’s look like they have the flapping ears, I bet they weren’t working by 1961.






Crisp looking classic shirts for “me hearties”.






For all of you Tuesday Weld fans out there, here’s the truth about Tu Tu.






The truth is she likes to date famous older men!






And she drives a dark green 1961 Lincoln Continental – nice car!








“Cinemascoop” features Troy Donahue & Connie Stevens in "Parrish", hey there’s Hayley Mills from Walt Disney’s “Parent Trap”. Check out those Tiki’s! Interestingly, that address in Pasadena is single family home (Google map) and it looks pretty old, was some guy selling these out of his house in 1961? I wonder if he has any left, I want Tiki good #3.






Let’s take a peek at Annette’s private life shall we? I see she’s working on Walt Disney’s Technicolor music “Babes in Toyland”. Walt’s company was everywhere even back in 1961!






This advertisement got my interest, Free Roller Skating! Two free tickets to anyone who presents the coupon below to a RSROA roller rink! Let me know when they call for Men’s Speed Skating, I’m all over it!






What is this “secret” they are talking about? Never mind, I don’t wanna know!





Is “Dental Cream” the same thing as “Tooth Paste”?






This Kartoon Kutie has a familiar last name.






My favorite Hanna-Barbera cartoon Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddie are highly underrated even to his day.






And lastly, some Dingbat Doodles. These are like the Playboy cartoons without the nasty part.
