"The loss of the magazine comes as a blow to the comics community — in addition to developing such popular comics properties as SpongeBob and Avatar: The Last Airbender, Duffy and Roman hired the cream of the crop of indie cartoonists, from Sam Henderson and Johnny Ryan to Laura Park and Jason Lutes. It was one of the few places where cartoonists of this ilk could get paid decent rates for their work, which makes it all the sadder. In addition, they published stand-alone comics collections and sponsored the first Kids Comics Awards.
While this leaves an obvious gap for kids comics, it leave a gap for comics in magazines in general — once a key way for cartoonists to make money and gain exposure, the implosion of the magazine market has taken this avenue with it."

"In Los Angeles, of course, there is no such thing as childhood anymore (well… maybe for the poors), so it should come as no surprise that Nickelodeon Magazine folded this week: Today’s kids know that life is one big paper chase, which leaves little time to @&*# around with children’s games."

What angers me more is the fact that there was no direct notice made to all the employees; that many had to hear through online sources about the status of their job. What's so hard about open communication?
... Sigh. The LEAST I can do is purchase the final issue, of course.

It's sad to hear that Nickelodeon Magazine is going the way of the dodo bird. I mean, with as many subscribers as was mentioned in that video, why cancel it? Then again, I did hear the news from a friend of mine about the actual Nick studios closing some time ago, which REALLY upset me. ;~;

I have been subscribed for the past three and a half years
ITS NOT FAIR!
I mean I HAD been noticing they had been getting kind of..... umm.... it hasn't been as high quality as it once was. I mean two years ago, they were like 72 pgs the past year they were 32-39 pgs
Of course, I still loved every page of them
When it came in the mail, the first thing I did was plop down on my bed and read it. Cover to Cover.
I JUST LOVE THEM!!!!
A couple months ago me and my friend were going to enter in a contest. The results came in the last issue. We never did it. One of my dreams as a little kid was to win one of those contests. I'll never will be able to now...... I... I... I feel like part of me is gone now... I love NIck Mag. I love the comics, the stories, the weird and funky facts. Everything. I'm so glad I saved every one of them in a box up in my room.

Nick mag :(
I am very saddened that the magazine has ceased publishing. I have read Nick for years. I must admit I am decades older than the average reader was but still enjoyed it. It was always full of comics and pop culture. It upsets me that future Nick watchers will never get to experience it.Anonymous
