That’s right: in January 2007, the Magazine of Life, the Universe, and Pie Throwing will be 10 years old. How should Muse mark the occasion? If we get our ideas in soon, there’s a chance the editors and publisher might have time to do something with them. (Unfortunately, there isn’t time to make a movie between now and then. If only…)
You can post ideas here for discussion, but make sure they also reach the magazine at muse@caruspub.com or via this handy online form at the official site.
Happy Anniversary!!
woot! two digits!
Okay, I say that we should launch our plan for world domination at that point in time, starting with the vaporization of Highlights and Time For Kids.
String banners of pies, hack into the New York Times website and post the date over everything, dress up as the Muses, use the automatic pie launcher, speak in Esperanto/Sindarin/Quenya/Tho Fan/Ble for the entire day-how am I doing here?
YAYAY!!
I suggested “10 greatest people in the universe”.
Have a big party and invite all the people of Muse and Museblog
*hint hint*. The party should be in New York, and we all have little Hello. My name is stickers, and then we write our blog names. lame or what?
ha!!! I’m older than muse. oh great, that means i’m a old cracker!!!
nooo!!!
Only problem: We don’t have a Tho Fan dictionary. And I don’t know Ble.
shouldn’t it be muse’s tenth birthday? don’t you need to be married to have an aniversary?
First post! YAY!
6- YES! Par-tay!
Zyviva,
Hm. How about “decennial,” then?
Birthday is fine with me, though it’s really more like a birthmonth.
“Anniversary” doesn’t have to be a wedding anniversary. It could be anything…
From Dictionary dot com….
1. The annually recurring date of a past event, especially one of historical, national, or personal importance
what if for its tenth birthday, muse was ten times as long?
Fun! The postage would bankrupt the company, though. Maybe they could squeeze a few more panels out of Larry Gonick, though. Or add a tenth Muse? Possibilities galore.
10–um PP, that’s waaaaaaaaaaaaay off.
10th Muse! That would be exciting.
My family has been recieving Muse since it’s very 1st issue!
*smiles smugly*
I think you should do an aritcle on Muse itself. Like, how it started, how you do it…
if the postage is too much they could put the extra stuff on line.
but they defintetly could put in more larry gonick.
what would the tenth muse be like?
Have the next issue of Muse be extra long. Like as long as 3 regular Muses.
A Muse delux issue.
the Magazine of Life, the Universe, and Pie Throwing
so is that the sub-header thing you decided on??
15 YAY!! TENTH MUSE!!
how about 10 extra pages, then? 10 articles, 10 letters, 10 Q&As, 10 Math puzzles (that have to do with the same thing so you still only need 1 article), and 10 comics
WOOO-EEEE!!!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY IN *counts fingers* 8 MONTHS!!!!!
#16
well, it seemed like it was going to be first post! I guess GAPA just didn’t moderate any of the posts yet so there weren’t any on the thread.
Cedear, you accually have a good idea. The apocolypse is upon us.
dudes, i had the idea first. see post 14.
Three times as long would be enough. 10 greatest people would be great also. And a tenth Muse: Maybe they could fit in a Muse of Love.
Awww.
Or, in a different vein, they could show us the would-be Muses who auditioned for the magazine but didn’t make it. You know, like Me-me-me, the Muse of Selfishness, or Putrid, the Muse of Bad Smells.
Il ike that GAPA. the muse of love would defininetly fit in that catagory.
yes extra long would be great.
17- my fellow Sally, I’m jealose! though you only have 12 more issues than me as I’ve been subscribing since Jan ’99
I also like the reject muses idea. maybe make all back issues avalible for purchase? like the ’97 and ’98 ones? they are the only ones I need…
I like the tens idea too.
w00t!!!lets hav a big 1-0 partay for the mag!!! + you could invite ALL OF US!!! it could be like a CONVENTION, even!
that is such a good idea, GAPA! (#26)
Maybe Erato could creeep her way into the magazine. Or, if you don’t want another aincent greek muse, heres an idea…. an anthropomorphic fox muse!
Name: Vixen
Muse Of: Love
Birthplace: Vermont
Likes: Flowers, Sweets, Nice Gestures
Dislikes: Uncaring People, like Kokoepelli
In my spare time: I write poetry
Heck yes!
32- too nuch like mimi and ccraw combined
Wait a minute…. Vixen can’t write poetry, thats Crraws job.
change that to
In my spare time: I write novels
Muse rally! Muse fan(atics) from al over the country get together!
On second thought, that might not be such a great idea….
I have an idea: let Musers write articles. Come up with certain fun topics, and let the fans write the issue!
Shpinx: Yeah, thats a great idea! I could write an article on differnt types of poetry! Or anything, for that matter. Wh00t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(28) Yes, well, I can’t really brag, because twas my sister who first got Muse; I only started reading in 2000.
I like Erato’s idea.(32)
I also like Robert’s (26)
I like the idea of having all the back issues available. Maybe they could have a discount sale on back issues. But they’d have to do something more exciting. Sales aren’t very exciting. Oo! they could do an issue that was supposedly an authentic first issue of Muse and was worth thousands of dollars. Sure, it’s only ten years old, but it would be written as though it were way older. And there would be articles on stuff like hunting. And gathering. And, um… loin-cloth making?
YKM: Excllent Idea!
OK
39- YES, YES, YES!!!
Or those rubbery bracelets…
39- they did that around the millenium. Jan ’00 I think. 2000 years of Muse or something like that.
we should have the convention then!
26-YES! Amazing.
39-YES! Amazing.
Way cool…
What was the first muse issue anyway? Is it in the back issues or no? I should buy it…
The contents are listed on the Fan Page. The January 1997 issue is very rare. I saw the first three issues for sale on Ebay last year and bid for them, but I lost out to a family of Muse fans in Japan. They paid more than $50 for them.
You should totally re-print it and sell it for the 10th anniversary-i bet loads of people would buy it. Make mucho money and suchlike. Plus it’ll make us devoted musers happy. I’m gonna go suggest that now!
YES! Muse Rubber Braclets :twisted:. You could be red, and say “Muse” with kokopelli imprinted on them *twisted*. Ranger Rick is doing it!
Someone suggest it!
How about you copper yeti?
I totally would if nobody else does, but i write in to them so much. They’ve probably given me a personal answer-bot by now… XD lol jk
i alreayd suggested someothing yesterday.
What’d u suggest?
Oh, nvm.
Y’know what, let’s just all write in multiple times w/all the idees on here. That way they might be more inclined to listen.
strength in numbers people. Plus i’m bored and so i’m gonna go plague them some more. Squee.
mrahr! i lost my copy of the toilet issue!! yeah, reprinting some older issues would be cool...i think the toilet issue was in '98 or '99...keep going Muse! with age comes endless bundles and bundles of wisdom!
I wrote in for them to just come check out the thread, but i dunno if/when they will. Just so y’all know. (Yes i can legally use the word “y’all” )
in Pgh, they use “yinz” OMG it is so annoying!!!!!!
heydudes! maybe ther could be an artucle that was in the first issue of muse!!! or 4 pages of muse mail! or pictures of all the staffers! o ra whole page full of pies!! or………………. AN ARTICLE ON ANIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
or an article on the oiginal muses, or a bo t-shirt, or………….wait for this…………………………………………………………..wait…………………………………….. KOKO ON THE COVER!!Z!!!!!!!Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ZZ!!!!
whoops sorry i stretched
Yay for ye olde Muses.
You should take the month off and print old stories
Koko has been on the cover before…october 2000.
I used to have the jan 1997 one!! But i cant find it anymore.
I lost my issue with the article on Tenrecs and Black Holes
53- it was in ’99
I need to re order the future creatures issue as my bio teacher’s student teacher LOST it GASP
I want the ’98 and ’97 issues!! Doesn’t the publishing office have copies that they could re publish?
Ok, whoever it is that answers the carus publishing emails, i’ve named them MA. Mysterious Answerer. Let’s freak them out by all writing in to “Ma” and they’ll think i’m telepathic.
OOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like the mysterious tenth muse idea!
maybe you could sell a “Muse Box Set” that has all the magazines eveyr published (Or at least year of magazines). Twould cost a fourtune, though.
Has anybody written in besides Copper Yeti and me???
a 1997 Box Set
1998 Box set
and going down to 2006
Publish the ENTIRE back story on ALL THE MUSES and do a scientific anatomy of the grass Bo chews.
Make a book of all the muses there’ve been. Call it The Tenth Pie.
Starting on the January 2006 issue, they should have a different slogan on evry issue. Slogans like, “DUCK!!!!” Me, and, “For those who want total world domination…” Me.

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I have an absolutely brilliant idea. In honour of Muse’s tenth anniversary/birthday/whatever you want to call it, they should make an extra long, all Harry Potter issue, with at least two thirds of it being on the books/JK Rowling, and no more then probably a third of it on the movies, ’cause they suck. Of course, the mag has to be at least three times as long as normal…
I love that idea.
I like the box set idea. A back story of every muse would be cool, except…did you ever consider the possibility that ol’ Mr. Gonick just made them up? That’s probably all there is to tell for most of them except Urania and Koko. How about Muse introduces shirts for more/all of the muses? I also like the idea of having the new slogans introduced. We worked hard on those!
The Pwt Pwns 10th anniversary shirt!!
Front: Muse 2008: Sanity is relative.
Back: PWT PWNS!!!
Collar lined by little Kokopellis playing flute. Bottom lined w/all muses, one after the other standing and waving, or in koko’s case, throwing a pie.
You likey?
Oh yeah, black w/white letters but white outlines around the muses so you can actually see them.
What about a tricorner hat with a really nice feather and Muse emblems, with a 42 on the inside? That would be very nice. Horatio Hornblower-y.
I’m working on an extra muse issue for the off – months that would consist entierly of matirial written by readers (that sounded really weird). I’ve asked people to contribute some articles and poems on the latest writing thread. Type “for By the Musers” at the top and end with the name you want the article/poem to be attributed to if it’s published. The magazine will be published three times a year, giving Muse a 12 issue schedule without much work for the editors, and giving musers a chance to have their articles published. Like???
A tenth muse????
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllppppppppppppppp!!!!

(translation: “Then it wouldn’t match the old muses)
Speaking of the old muses, mabe they could appear in the margins or in the comic? That would be interesting.
82- yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes
No one posts here anymore??? Anyway, I have an Idea for when the first birthday of the blog comes arround – another thread with the Muses on it. An it should last longer.
Wow, Muse is ten? This makes me extremely happy but also makes me feel old, lol. I think I started subscribing sometime around a year after Muse first started. I agree that re-publishing Muse’s first issues would be a good idea if it’s possible! I’m all for a Muse convention too, although I’d have a hard time getting to New York if it were held there. But I’d try my best to make it!
Oops, I didn’t see the 2007 part. In that case I should say “Wow, Muse will be ten”. ^_^
In my oppinion, you should make a super gigundo, humungous,issue of muse with the favorites from each and every magazine. OOOOORRRRRR…write another book.
We could have the musers who were sound on hpbs drive them out of the mag!
and have more koko and company
YE SUBJECTS, COMBINE THE DRIVING OUTE OF THE EVILE MITAKES WITHE THE “KOKO AND COMPANY” GOD HAS SPOKEN.
Front: It hath cometh.
Back: muse the mag
My first issue of Muse was when I was six….. 2002, I think…. I don’t exactly remember which one it was….. But it had something to do with water on the cover……. My first issue of Muse that I really remember was the one with the faucet-head on the cover, about colds. I lost it like 2 years ago. My oldest Muse is the is the October ’99 ish. I got it from my first grade teacher.
We used to own the first ever Muse (january 1997, I think). But it was lost before I started reading Muse.
The mag shgould be 4times as long with articles on past reader suggestions, plus the 100 famous glitches.
And with the magazine they should put either, Muse PJs (featuring Koko, Pwt, and Feather), a muse pillow (One of those soft pillows with bead isnide. It should say Muse in big, green, letters),or an Attack of the Smart Pies book
TA-DA!
We’ve reached 300 posts on the original ‘Muse Movie’ thread.
Go post to celebrate.
I sure hope they have a piece on it the tenth anniversary issue.
