Hey everyone! First off, before the post, I’m sorry I haven’t been active really at all – life has been a bit rough, so bear with me in this tough time! Anyway, Poptropica recently tweeted that they now have an Official Tumblr page!
From looking at their Tumblr, I see some really cool stuff! I see the creators re-blog a lot of stuff on Tumblr, like how they also retweet a lot of stuff over on Twitter. I just hope the creators don’t re-blog any inappropriate language that people post on Tumblr, as they did on Twitter.
Big Hero 6 ad: Baymax Follower
To get the Baymax Follower (from the movie Big Hero 6, which was released into theaters today), just watch the video ad on any Main Street, and boom – you get the cool prize!
LOL! Is it just me or does the Baymax Follower kind of look like the Michelin Man or the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man? xD Tell me what you think in the comments.
Interview with Poptropica comic writer Paul Gilligan
Remember Slippery Raptor’s post about an interview with Poptropica’s comic artist, Kory Meritt, conducted by L’Idea Magazine? (He confirmed the release of the upcoming Poptropica graphic novel!)
Well, the magazine did another interview with another Poptropica employee – Paul Gilligan, the writer of the Poptropica comics. Although he didn’t give away any important details like Kory did, Paul said some pretty interesting stuff – check out this little tidbit:
L’IDEA MAGAZINE: In June of this year you debuted with another comic strip, Poptropica. Could you tell us how it came about and what is the storyline?
PAUL GILLIGAN: Poptropica is a popular website where players can create avatars and travel through a plethora of interesting islands. The website’s creator, Jeff Kinney (of “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” fame) wanted a comic strip to go with it, and so he hired me to do the writing. There were pre-existing templates for the two main characters of Oliver and Jorge. I fleshed them out and gave them the motivation that they’re searching for a way out of Poptropica by traveling from island to island, kinda like that show “Quantum Leap”, like each time they hop to the next island it will be the one that leads them home.
L’IDEA MAGAZINE: In Poptropica you share the credits with Kory Merritt. How do you operate in the creation of the strip with him?
PAUL GILLIGAN: I do the writing, accompanied by thumbnails if necessary, and Kory pencils out the strips and runs them by me. I bring up any alterations that might be necessary for clarity, etc, and then he inks and colors the work. It’s been a fairly seamless collaboration thus far; Kory’s a great artist and super easy to work with.
Wow! I never thought of jumping island-to-island as something like Quantum Leap! Anyway, that’s it for this long post. Have a great day!

It makes me so excited to c the movie!!
did they take away the ad (today i posted this comment 11/01/2014
Yeah, I want to know too because I haven’t been on Pop like, for 3 days.
Wait a min- No, @vincentfong0116, the ad is still there!
I love this follower? 😀 I’m seeing the movie this week and btw I laughed so hard at the Michelin man part
That robot’s kinda creepy… I don’t like it at all, and no adds are showing for me anymore. I’m not sure should I be relieved or worried…
I’m a poptropica player running my own blog/website, but when I look at others, people have moving pictures, awesomes headers and all kinds of thing that I don’t know how to get… Anyone feel like telling me how to get some stuff for a better blog? Maybe check it out (It’s attached to my name) and see if im doing things right? I don’t think my blog’s very good compared to every other blog I see…
Wait, I didn’t realised until I posted, the link is wrong, just let me fix that… Fixed!
