Nickelodeon Magazine - Nickelodeon Comics

Nickelodeon Comics, formally titled Nickelodeon Magazine Presents, was a series of one-shot special issues put out by Nickelodeon Magazine. Each issue tied in with comics. Nickelodeon Comics mainly contained comics, either newly-made stories or two-page shorts reprinted from Nick Magazine, but also featured articles, puzzles, and poster inserts.

Other comics included:

  • Fiona of the Felines by Terry LaBan - A girl who is raised by cats. Her strips are occasionally accompanied by a similar strip titled Warren of the Worms.
  • Grampa and Julie, Shark Hunters by Jef Czekaj - This strip's titular pair of a girl and her dim-witted grandfather started out searching for Stephen, the Largest Shark in the World. Their adventures from 1999 to 2003 have recently been reprinted in a graphic novel and a pilot for an animated series was made by Klasky Csupo
  • Impy & Wormer by James Kochalka - These mini-strips (featured at the bottom of the comic pages, under the regular strips) starred a bug who does not speak proper English and constantly bothers a comparatively intellectual worm.
  • Juanita and Clem by Craig Thompson — Whimsical tales of an adventurous little girl (Juanita) and her less brave green friend (Clem).
  • Karmopolis by Nick Bertozzi — An adventure strip in a world where everyone and everything is on wheels.
  • Mervin the Magnificent by Richard Sala — A bumbling magician solves crime with his rabbit sidekick.
  • Patty-Cake by Scott Roberts - A bossy little blonde with a flower in her hair.
  • Sam Hill & Ray-9 by Mark Martin - A boy and his robot dog.
  • Scene But Not Heard by Sam Henderson - The going-ons of a pink man and a bear, who compulsively pull pranks on each other. As the strip's name suggests, the comic is made entirely of pictures, with no dialogue or sound effects. In the magazine's tenth anniversary issue, there was a "blooper strip" where the man and bear are talking. Also, there is an advertisement for a Scene But Not Heard musical in Grampa and Julie comic.
  • Southern Fried Fugitives by Simon and Kim Deitch - The continuing adventures of a quartet of fried chicken pieces brought to life by a thunderstorm. This strip ended in December 1999.
  • Teeny Weeny, the Tiniest Hot Dog in the World by Mark Martin - A miniature hot dog with lots of enthusiasm.
  • The Gag Station by various. One-panel gags, often featuring cartoonists such as Johnny Ryan, Mark Newgarden, Ellen Forney, Steve Weissman, Felipe Galindo, Ian Baker, and Mark Martin.
  • The Uncredibly Confabulated Tales of Lucinda Ziggles by Andy Ristaino — A little girl gets involved in fantastic adventures that nobody ever believes.
  • Twiggy Stumps: Outdoor Adventurist by Brian Ralph — A flaky outdoorsman and his wisecracking skunk-pal, Juniper.
  • Underpants-On-His-Head Man by Michael Kupperman - Originally appeared as one of "the worst comic book superheroes ever". As his name suggests, he wears his underwear on his head. His archenemy is his coworker, Pants-On-His-Head Man.
  • Yam by Corey Barba — A wordless comic starring a toddler with jet backpack, wearing a hoodie, in a whimsical world that features humanlike cats, pet TVs, and other fantasy elements.
