Dynamite Tapestries
Description: Dynamite Magazine from Scholastic is another great reminder of childhood in the 1970s, an age before the home video and video game revolutions. The magazine, published out of Englewood, N.J. was a monthly publication that was filled with interviews with the hottest stars of the day and included fun features that could help pass the hours on a rainy Saturday. In magazine terms, Dynamite had a really good run, managing to stay relevant for almost two decades from it's first issue in 1974 to it's last in 1992.
Description: Napoleon Dynamite is a socially awkward 16-year-old boy from Preston, Idaho, who lives with his grandmother, Carlinda Dynamite, and his older brother, Kipling Ronald "Kip" Dynamite. Kip, 32, is unemployed and boasts of spending hours on Internet chat rooms with his girlfriends and aspiring to be a cage fighter. Napoleon daydreams his way through school, doodling ligers and fantasy creatures and reluctantly deals with the various bullies who torment him, particularly the obnoxious sports jock, Don. Napoleon likes to make up stories about himself and his outlandish "skills" while having a sullen and aloof personality.
