Magazine Contents
Muse is published nine times annually. Each issue contains a comic strip ("Kokopelli & Company") written by Larry Gonick, a spoof about the main subject of the issue (Dear Muse Reader), a fun facts page (Bo's page), letters from readers (Muse Mail), a contest, a question-and-answer page written by Robert Coontz, Rosanne Spector, and Rebecca Lasley; an article written by a Muse reader ("Muserology"), a short article based on a surprising photo ("Last Page"), and articles on various topics. Often the topics of the articles are tangentially related. Past issues have included articles about vegetarianism, pie throwing, extraterrestrial life, naked mole rats, the origin of the moon, pirates, urban legends, insects, mummies, tenrecs, the history of napkins, contacting ghosts, New Zealand's exploding trousers, Rube Goldberg inventions, The Lord of the Rings, and blind cavefish.
Although many of the articles are serious, Muse can also be very funny. Dear Muse Reader, Kokopelli and Company, Muse Mail, and Bo's Page often times have very witty humor.

“To be, contents his natural desire;
He asks no Angel’s wing, no Seraph’s fire;
But thinks, admitted to that equal sky,
His faithful dog shall bear him company.”
