Hello! I'm Slanted Fish, the editor-in-chief and creator of the Poptropica Help Blog (PHB). I'm a writer, Hong Kong native, and Christ follower. My Poptropica username is slantedfish 🐠 Don't forget to be awesome!
Here’s a rarity – the Creators’ Blog has posted some animated sneak peeks! All we know is that “they come out in the night,” but look at them! Aren’t they just so cute to watch? 🙂
This hopping, cawing red bird appears to be a wind-up toy based on the knob on its back, but it’s moving quite realistically for a gadget!
And then there’s this mysterious, seemingly metallic scorpion crawling back and forth in a cage. The description at the end says “Somebody’s getting up to something…” What could it mean?
Could these creatures be part of the upcoming Zomberry Island, or something else entirely? Maybe we’ll know more soon. ‘Til then, they’ll be stuck in this continual loop! 😛
The final installment of the Zomberry: Day Zero comic is here!

…And it looks like poor Joe’s soul has been claimed as well. The cause of the apocalypse, as we now know, is eating fruit! Now, how to save the town of Eastman is another story, which we’ll find out soon in the upcoming Zomberry Island. This ending is only just the beginning.
If you want to catch up with the rest of the comic, check out: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, and part 5 right here on the PHB. Stay alive!
(Happy Sunday! Here’s a guest post by MetusNui; enjoy! -fishy)
Hi viewers,
I’m MetusNui, a guy who likes blogging, but doesn’t have a blog of his own. This is my second post on PHB (click here to see the first) and today I’m going to talk about Zomberry Island. Want to know how to dress like a uh… zomberry?
Colorize your hair and skin purple/indigo (your hair should a darker shade).
Complete the Haunted House and get the Zombie Costume.
Customize the Eyes and the Mouth.
If you have the Applebees item, customize the handheld apple.
Enjoy your zomberry costume! When the island is released, it will look like a zombie (sorry, zomberry) fighting against other zomberries. 🙂
As you rush excitedly over to the Wonka factory gates, you may notice a new island in the distance – yep, Zomberry Island is now COMING SOON on the Map! Thanks Jingle Dragon. We don’t know when exactly it’ll come out, but who knows, maybe they’ll time it for around December 21st, 2012 in keeping with an “end of the world” theme. 😛
Of course, you’ll want some gear if you’re going to survive this zombie apocalypse! Though it’s just for members… well, good luck out there, non-members. Put on your ZMB Unit and equip your Safety Flare, or you may just wind up turning into another victim with a bad case of Big Blue.
If you’re dying (heh, see what I did there?) to know the origin behind Poptropica’s zombie apocalypse, catch up with page 1, page 2, and page 3 of the Zomberry: Day Zero comic on this blog! The plot thickens in page 4…

Ohhh snap! Looks like it’s Joe Puddy vs. the Zombies. What will happen next?
Anyway, there’s been a lot of positive feedback about the recent change of the PHB’s layout, and I just wanted to say thank you for all your support and suggestions. And in case you haven’t seen them yet, the PHB has new pages for the Tribes of Poptropica, so go cheer on your favorite team! Also, thanks for helping us reach 7.4 million hits! Have a great weekend! 😀
First of all, yes, this is still the same Poptropica Help Blog you’ve come to know and love. With the recent re-design of the PHN, I thought the blog could also do with a makeover that would make it more clean, easy to navigate, and eye-pleasing. Behold the new theme: Lifestyle!
And here’s the ‘before’ shot of the previous theme, Ocean Mist, in the same image dimensions:
It might take some getting used to, but hopefully you’ll enjoy this new theme with its larger page navigation buttons, access to our other Poptropica Help networks at the top, wider screen, and more.
Leave some feedback to let us know what you dig and what you don’t! The new design is for the benefit of you, the reader, so we want to make sure you like it. If you’ve got suggestions, write a comment and we’ll look into it.
Also, there’s a new header up for the Christmas season, and it’s that time of the year again when “snow” falls on the blog! Plus, there’s new pages on the PHB for the Tribes of Poptropica, so go support your team! Hope you’re enjoying all the new changes! 🙂
