The episode opens on a foggy dayโbut not near Erewhon Prison. No, this is in a land far, far away from that rocky outcrop in the middle of a vast ocean. Tall grasses sway with the weight of dew in the evening fog, and the sound of sheep can be heard in the distance.
A young boy sits in the field, playing a tune on a fairly simple, small recorder, stopping every few notes to jot down in a notebook with a piece of charcoal. Itโs only got a few pages, which have been written over back and front and in every blank area. It looks as though he made it himself with whatever he could find.
Hello once again everyone! Spotted Dragon here bringing you theย May recapย for Community Creations.ย May’s themeย wasย Outer Space,ย so be sure to check out all the featured artists!
Kicking things off with perhaps the most iconic space-related Poptropican! Astro-Knights is certainly a classic island, and Binary Bard a classic villain. The coloring done here is wonderful and quite painterly, with the small elements refracted in the glass shards adding a ton of interest to the composition. Great sense of storytelling! Find her on Instagram and right here, writing for the PHB.
Need Some Space? by Magic Kid
As you may know, I’m a sucker for puns. The humor here is cheesy but entertaining and wonderfully portrays the relationship of Amelia and the Baron. I also really enjoy the purple hues of the galactic background. Find the artist in the comments section!
Lost in Space by Dangerous Dragon
Yikes! With how cool space is, there are definitely things about it that can be super scary too. Floating aimlessly and getting lost is one of those things! ๐ฌ The pairing of text and drawing here is interesting, and there is a huge focus on earth while the character actually blends in with the background. Intriguing composition! Find the artist in the comments section!
Cooling Down the Dragotank by PegaKid
Back to Astro-Knights, the fire planet is a hot-spot travel destination among the stars. ๐ With this scene, I enjoy the contrast of those super intense oranges with that icy blue! Great emotion in the characters too, with my eye definitely being drawn between the two figures. Find her Instagram here.
Mission Accomplished (Poptober Day 14) by Lucky Joker
Of course, we can’t talk about space in Poptropica without some love for Lunar Colony. I love this portrayal of such an iconic moment, especially the featuring of the aliens. The detail of the different biome planets in the background is also a fantastic touch! Find him on Instagram and right here, writing for the PHB.

“Yellow Eyes” by Serious Heart
Launching into space, Mordred had felt as light as air. He had done it! Those primitive fools back at Arturus couldn’t catch him! He had… wait. He was slowly skyrocketing toward the Pewter Moon, and he couldn’t stop his motion. He screamed as he crashed.
Mordred had smiled triumphantly to himself. He had done it! He had created the perfect fusion of man and machine. He had become the Binary Bard. I must get my revenge, he thought. But how? So, then, as we know, he kidnapped Elyana, thinking his revenge had taken place. But a hero saved her and stranded Mordred in his castle. He had thought he was going to be there forever. Until he heard a knock at the door of his castle. And he saw yellow eyes.

“Battling the Mother Phoenix” by Serious Heart
Serious Heart, “the hero,” had freed a robot Pegasus. He had thought he could get off the Jungle Planet. But the Mother Phoenix came. He had hitched a ride on the Pegasus and readied the Laser Lance. He had seen some flying bugs, so he blasted them in short, elegant shots. Then, he encountered some dark clouds. Being the nosy, wait, I mean CURIOUS, Poptropican he was, he stretched out to touch them — and almost got hit by lightning. He avoided them after that. After a couple of minutes of this, the Mother Phoenix came. He shot at her mouth and missed. He decided staying away from her for a while was a good idea. After some time happened, he decided to try again. This time, he succeeded. He repeated it two more times, then she fell. He went back to the spaceship, taking Sir Cador with him, and went in search of the other knights.

June: How Do I Participate?
Community Creations is a cool series for anyone in the Poptropica community to join in on. To sum up what itโs about, itโs basically a chance to show off your artwork, creepy fan-fics, Pop clubhouses, costumes, and anything else that pops into your mind.
If we really like the piece you submit, we will feature it here on the PHB! As long as it relates to that monthโs theme. So what is June’s theme? June’s theme isโฆ
๐ฒ๐ฃ Cryptids! ๐ฃ๐ฒ
Cryptids Island is home to some of the most iconic Poptropica characters and scenes, like the infamous Jersey Devil jumpscare. It’s always been a favorite of mine for visuals, storytelling, and gameplay alike!
We encounter tons of cryptids on this island that would be perfect to draw this month, but there are also tons of cryptids that don’t appear in game. What would other monsters like look like in Poptropica? Maybe write about new cryptids that could be incorporated into the island, or stick to drawing your favorite cryptids that we already come across.
Results: Next month, I will feature 5 submissions that stood out to me the most as well as some honorable mentions.
Limitations: Just make sure you relate to both the theme and Poptropica (and nothing NSFW or otherwise inappropriate).
Due Date: I will take any entries before the end of this month. Submit as many things as youโd like!
I will be sure to let you know I have seen your creation. While quality counts, Iโm mainly looking for something to simply catch my eye, so donโt be afraid to join in!
So what are you waiting for? Go make something awesome!

Hey Poptropicans, this is aย guest postย by Serious Heart.ย Enjoy!
Hi, guys. It’s Serious Heart. Some of you may recognize me from Dizzy Feather’s Poptropica Blog, and I’m here with a Popspiracy: What happened to Dr. Hare after he was ejected to space?
To start off, why don’t I tell you a little about myself? I first saw advertisements for Poptropica in 2016, but started playing the game in the late summer or early fall of 2020. Anyway, here is the Popspiracy!
(Warning: Contains spoilers for 24 Carrot and Super Villain Island)
Dr. Hare sent to space in 24 Carrot Island
We first saw the game’s mascot, Dr. Hare, in 2008 (14 years ago, WOW) with 24 Carrot Island, and we sent him off to outer space. We know his Rabbot crashed in the desert of Jade Scarab Island, but what happened to the grown, adult man in a bunny suit? Well, we know at some point, he was sent to Erewhon Prison in Super Villain Island. Keep that in mind.
Dr. Hare’s dream in Super Villain Island
Now, I know I’m not the first to think this, but let’s also keep in mind ANOTHER villain that got stranded in space: MORDRED/BINARY BARD. Anyway, what if they crashed into each other in space? And what if they both agreed to rule Poptropica together and that they’d help each other out โ but they were planning to betray each other in the end?
But then, Zeus… um, I mean DR. JUPITER, found them and sent them to Erewhon. Whichhhhhh leads up to Super Villain Island. I won’t spoil any more (though I already did with 24 Carrot, shush), so you do the math.
Right or wrong, 24 Carrot must be a decent island to be one of the islands still playable on the map. Goodbye everyone!
The Poptropica Help Blog welcomes interesting Poptropica insights from anyone in the Poptropica community with thoughts to share. Interested in writing for the PHB? Weโd love to hear from you!
Hello once again everyone! Spotted Dragon here bringing you theย April recapย for Community Creations.ย April’s themeย wasย Reality TV,ย so be sure to check out all the featured artists!
Kicking things off with a gorgeous color palette and composition! Getting on and off the helicopter was such a memorable part of Reality TV Island, especially when getting to finally return home a hero. I love the entire design of this piece, along with all the little details in the sky such as Balloon Boy and the blimp! Wonderful work. Find her Tumblr here.
Survival of the Fittest by Lucky Joker
Here we have some classic Reality TV competitors, drawn in a totally new style! It is really interesting to see these Poptropicans with more human proportions, along with their wide age ranges. Makes you wonder how the heck they are all actually competing against each other! Find his Instagram here.
Bosko in Reality TV Island by Magic Kid
With this submission, it’s really cool to see worlds collide by incorporating characters from different islands. In this case, Bosko from Goofball seems like the perfect TV star! Though he certainly gives off friendly-monster-on-a-kids’-show-vibes, less big-scary-beast-on-a-drama. I also love the multi-panel format of the comic! Find the artist in the comments section.
Last Second Before Disaster by PegaKid
I just knew Betty Brownie was up to no good… never underestimate a girl scout trying to earn a badge! I love the composition here, along with the emotion of the characters and the “to be continued” meme reference. I can guess what happens next! ๐ Find their Instagram here.
Snapshot Outfit by Young Rider
Lastly, we have a stylish costume perfect for someone working in Reality TV. The headset, belt, and phone are all must-have accessories in the modern entertainment industry. And beyond the tools, the hair and clothes are cute to match! Find the artist in the comments section.

๐โญ Outer Space! โญ๐
The world of Poptropica is place of incredible, endless stories… and not even all of them take place on the planet of Poptropica! We’ve gotten to travel through the stars on quests like Astro-Knights, Lunar Colony, and even 24 Carrot! Well, Dr. Hare at least got to space in that last example.
This month, we’re celebrating all things space with your out of this world creations. Make art of your favorite space-themed islands, or write a fan-fic about an entirely new planet in the Poptropica universe. Maybe design a sci-fi suit fit for the stars, or construct your own Poptropica-themed rocket ship! Shoot for the moon this month, everyone!
Results: Next month, I will feature 5 submissions that stood out to me the most as well as some honorable mentions.
Limitations: Just make sure you relate to both the theme and Poptropica (and nothing NSFW or otherwise inappropriate).
Due Date: I will take any entries before the end of this month. Submit as many things as youโd like!
