Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Invisible Ring. Enjoy!
This is it, Poptropicans! After parts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of my pop-tastic PoptropiCon Saga comic series, I promised you an epilogue to wrap it all up with, and now it’s finally here!
…Now you have 771 pages of gut-busting graphic novel pages to read all in one spot! …At last, my 5-year PoptropiCon Saga is finally finished! YAAAAAAY!
…Wait a second… five years? Did it really take that long? …It only took me six months to draw my 136-page Dream Island graphic novel prior to that! I can’t believe my PoptropiCon Saga took me so much longer! …On second thought, yes I can. A lot has happened to me during all that time…
Hey Poptropicans! 🤗 Poptropica fan artist RainbowBrush (Tough Spinner) is back with a cool new project: a fan comic called The Mystery of the Forgotten Islands, and she’s just dropped a teaser with four full pages, along with the following synopsis. Read it below!
Poptropica is an online game that features an adventurer traveling the ocean, exploring many different islands, and helping the people on those islands with their problems. Poptropica once had a wide variety of different islands to explore ranging from traveling the Wild West, to becoming a secret agent, to solving mysteries on a train. Unfortunately in 2020, the game engine that ran Poptropica, Adobe Flash, shut down. The shutdown of Adobe Flash caused most of Poptropica’s islands to disappear.
This story takes place in the disarrayed state that Poptropica is in now. There are only a handful of islands that remain in the world. Tough Spinner, a long time adventurer, attempts to solve Poptropica’s biggest mystery. Whatever happened to the old islands of Poptropica?
The teaser is also available on Instagram and Reddit, with a promise for future updates to be posted on those platforms whenever they’re ready.

Hey Poptropicans! Remember Bucky Lucas, the washed-up contest winner on Reality TV Island? Poptropica fan artist Cherry (cacaocheri) recently made a comic imagining his life after coming home from losing the game show, and with their blessing, we’d love to share it with you!
(Content warning: Contains references to alcohol.) Enjoy the comic below:
Aww, you’ll be okay, Bucky! 🥹 Speaking of comics, we’re pleased to announce that we’ve updated our Poptropica comic strip collection with better quality visuals, courtesy of HPuterpop. Enjoy all the adventures with Oliver and Jorge from our Comics page! 💥
Piñata Man is a quirky, wanna-be superhero whose dream is to prove himself to the Mighty Action Force! This comic follows a silly adventure of his, in which he attempts to save The Wizard’s soda which is stuck in the evil vending machine! Will he be able to do it or… will he fail terribly?
BONUS! Here’s my comic making process:
First, I get the script for the page I’m working on (the amount of times I lost it while working on this was actually insane). Using that as a guide, I make a messy doodle of what I want the panel to look like.
Second, I ink the panels. Not much to that.
Then (third), I roughly sketch out the characters. For some reason I decided to use pink for all my sketches and stuck with it the whole comic 😛
Fourth, I ink the comic and detail the characters!
Unlike the other pages, I gave this one a black background to make it ✨EXTRA DRAMATIC✨
Fifth, I color the characters and the backgrounds! The colors I used for the characters were not the actual colors of them in-game — I used simpler, brighter colors to make it easy on me to draw. 😀
Finally, I add shadows and highlights to help bring these silly guys to life!
For the rest of the pages I added speech bubbles for the very last step. But for this page there is no dialogue, so I just added a white outline on the evil soda machine.
And that’s my process! Now repeat all of that 11 times over the course of two and a half months, and you get this comic! 🥳
Thank you so much for reading this comic! It was a lot of fun to make and I hope that y’all enjoyed it. 😄
