Comics – Page 9 – 🏝️ Poptropica Help Blog 🗺️

The penultimate page of the Pandemic Panic! comic is here! If you missed the previous parts, you can catch up from our previous posts. Here we see Dr. Lange finally realizing her deathly mistake…

Well, at least there’s still that last cup of maple syrup she can attempt to calm her nerves down with… assuming it’s not contaminated too, of course.

Also, the LEGO CUUSOO project Dr. Hare has gone on and on about since last winter is almost to its 10k goal, currently with 9,325+ supporters! A final prize has been promised for when we do get there:

So, let’s keep going! These Dr. Hare Light & Shadow outfits won’t be available until the 10,000 mark – so if you haven’t supported the project yet, be sure to cast your vote and earn the bragging right to say you helped with the project (which has gotten over 2 million views)! LEGO has closed comments on the project page on the grounds that “there were too many off-topic comments,” but, of course, you can still share your thoughts here on the PHB.

Virus Hunter: Pandemic Panic! (Part 4 of 6)

August 11, 2013August 11, 2013 Slanted Fish

The latest installment of the Virus Hunter prequel story (part 4) is here! If you missed the earlier pages, you can see part 1, part 2, and part 3 on this blog or on the Creators’ Blog.

Wait, how did he even eat his snack with that blue mask covering his entire face? And, yeah, when you leave a jar of contained virus that happens to look like jam right out in the open… BAD THINGS HAPPEN. Looks like someone’s been drinking too much… (maple syrup, of course!)

In more picture-related news, I have a new Gravatar icon, a persona I made partially based on my Poptropican, so you’ll see that around the blog next to my name now. Also, as you may have noticed, earlier this week the PHB header was updated to include the Poptropicans of our current 8 staff members. Hope you like it!

What will happen in the last two pages of the Pandemic Panic! comic? Share your thoughts and predictions in the comments!

Virus Hunter: Pandemic Panic! (Part 3 of 6)

August 6, 2013August 6, 2013 Brave Tomato

Hey guys, BT here. The latest page of Pandemic Panic had been released!

Um… an important rule in life: if you leave something important unguarded, then it is likely the wrong person’s gonna take it.

So it seems that one of the poor tourists on that bus will mistake the jar containing the CC13 virus for something else and end up with that deadly virus himself. It is likely that that unlucky tourist with the bad souvenir would be Joe Stockman/Patient Zero. If only the doctors had taken the infected jar with them…

BT out!

Virus Hunter: Pandemic Panic (2 of 6) & Dream Island contest

August 3, 2013August 3, 2013 Slanted Fish

It’s August, and that means a couple of things for Poptropica – new Poptropica books are out, and the Create Your Dream Island Contest has begun! The map has been updated too (thanks ayman351!):

vh on map

First, Virus Hunter Island! The second page of the Pandemic Panic comic is here, continuing from the first part, and here our PDC heroes are stopped by a lovely Canadian Mountie and capture an innocent-looking Labrador Duck with a deadly CC13 virus. What the heck are you all doing, eh?

You’re going to need to be fit if you want to survive Virus Hunter Island, because the Expectation-Free Zone gym there wants to get you pumped up (and they say they’re expectation-free…):

As for the second new icon (the island contest), clicking on it will bring you to a page for the Island Creator Kit, containing a video message from Jeff Kinney:

Well, that’s all for now! Go get your creative juices flowing so you’ll have a stellar entry for that Create Your Dream Island Contest before it ends in December! (And if you win, you know it might just be the most exciting thing that happens in your childhood!)

Virus Hunter: Pandemic Panic! (Part 1 of 6) & info redesign!

July 30, 2013July 30, 2013 Brave Tomato

Hey guys, BT here. Remember the Zomberry: Day Zero comics released throughout last December? It seems that that same artist is back, this time doing a backstory for the upcoming Virus Hunter Island! Like the Zomberry comic, there will be 6 pages. The first page was released yesterday:

(click on the image for a larger view)

So it seems from the look of things, Dr. Lange and her two colleagues are searching for this “dangerous creature”, casually ignoring ferocious animals. The “dangerous creature” is most likely the virus we’d have to fight throughout the island. From the looks of things, and the NanoBot Training, Dr. Lange seems to be a pretty eccentric character (as well as a rare female leading doctor, the last one being Lunar Colony’s Dr. Salerno).

Speaking of Virus Hunter Island, its official island information page has been given a major makeover! Still no news of the release date, and the other islands have yet to be privileged with the same upgrade.
