Muse (magazine) - Magazine Contents

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.

Famous quotes containing the words magazine and/or contents:

    True love never goes without respect; and its counterfeit is often obliged to feign it, till an occasion serves to throw it out of the windows.
    Anonymous, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. Weekly Visitor or Ladies Miscellany, p. 211 (April 1803)

    If one reads a newspaper only for information, one does not learn the truth, not even the truth about the paper. The truth is that the newspaper is not a statement of contents but the contents themselves; and more than that, it is an instigator.
    Karl Kraus (1874–1936)
