As of April 2006, Nickelodeon Magazine has 122 issues.

In spite of being a sponsor for the network it is named after, ''Nickelodeon Magazine'' covers all sorts of topics for kids, whether inside the network or outside. It contains informative non-fiction pieces, humor, interviews, pranks, and recipes (such as green slime cake).

The magazine's Mascot is Zelda Van Gutters , a Lakeland Terrier dog clipped from photos whose picture is placed throughout the magazine's pages. On the table of contents, Zelda usually shows up to introduce herself as the magazine's "roving reporter". She is also the star of the magazine's semi-monthly photo comic strip, "Ruffing It".


THE COMIC BOOK

Every issue of ''Nickelodeon Magazine'' includes a section called "The Comic Book". Usually, this insert is made up of regular comic strips from Underground artists. The original editor of the section was Anne D. Bernstein. Since 1997 it has been edited by Chris Duffy, who was joined by Dave Roman a few years later. Among the comics featured in ''Nickelodeon Magazine'''s Comic Book:

  • ''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, but has no dialogue or sound.

  • ''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 .

  • ''Sam Hill & Ray-9'' by Mark Martin - A boy and his robot dog.

  • ''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.

  • ''Patty-Cake'' by Scott Roberts- A bossy little blonde with a flower in her hair.

  • ''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''.

  • ''Impy & Wormer'' by James Kochalka - These mini-strips (featured at the bottom of the pages, under the regular strips) feature a stupid bug who constantly bothers a comparatively intellectual worm.

  • ''Cody'' by Bobby London- Drawn somewhat like '' The Katzenjammer Kids '', this strip's title character is often misled by the fibs told by his grandfather, Poppy.

  • ''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.

  • " Teeny Weeny, The Tiniest Hot Dog In The World " by Mark Martin - A miniature hot dog with lots of enthusiasm.

  • "Karmopolis" by Nick Bertozzi--Adventure strip in a world where everyone and everything is on wheels.

  • "The Gag Station" by various. One panel gags, often featuring cartoonists such as Johnny Ryan, Mark Newgarden, Ellen Forney, Steve Weissman, Feggo, Ian Baker, and Mark Martin


In addition, ''Nickelodeon Magazine'''s Comic Book also features comic strips based off of the cartoons exclusive to the network. These strips usually show up if something big is happening with the shows themselves, such as a special episode or a movie (theatrical or made-for-TV) airing. Among the Nicktoons that have been featured in the Comic Book:
