Features in the magazine included in-depth articles and interviews with the cast and crew, diagrams of major characters' dream houses, comics, and fanart (which was highly encouraged). Another recurring feature in the magazine was a comic strip called Arnold.
The magazine also reported on real news related to the show. One story was about a protest held on February 13, 1991. A local citizens' group fought the state's plan to create a nuclear waste dump in their neighborhood. It organized Citizens Against Radioactive Dumping (CARD) and demonstrated at the monthly meeting of the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Siting Commission in Albany, New York. Four kids dressed up as Homer Simpson, Marge Simpson, Bart Simpson and Lisa Simpson, and presented a three-eyed fabric fish, which looked like Blinky from the second season episode "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish", to the commission. They also performed a rap song, which explained the plot of the episode.
