Daily Poptropica Comics Return โ€” Read Them All Here! ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ“ฐ

Hey Poptropicans! The Poptropica comic strip is back! ๐ŸŒช

Starting this week, Poptropica is posting a daily comic with one strip each day in-game, which you can access by clicking the top banner on the map. However, the PHB will do you one better: you can read ALL of these previously released strips on our Comics page! ๐Ÿ‘€

Follow along on the adventures of Oliver and Jorge as they hop from island to island trying to make their way home โ€” outside of the wacky world of Poptropica! You might recognize these boys from the Poptropica graphic novel series, which (as the Creators’ Blog realized) is not the same as the comic strip, and actually came out after it. Mystery of the Map, the first graphic novel, just won “Best Comic” in the Poppies โ€” and is also fully archived on our Comics page! ๐ŸŒŸ

Speaking of the PHB’s archives, some of you may know that we saved many of the old Pop strips through the efforts of one super-fan back in 2020. Just recently, however, the rest of the missing strips have been uncovered thanks to another fan, Nezt50! ๐Ÿฅณ You can find these recovered comics in Part 3 in our Comics archive, involving adventures in a few worlds that seem to parallel those from the game, like the underground mole people of Crisis Caverns, years before its release.

Poptropicaโ€™s comic strips ran daily for a period of time from 2014โ€“2016 and were available on various online platforms. They were written by Paul Gilligan and illustrated by Kory Merritt, who is also the artist for the graphic novels.

Although the comic strips ended on a cliffhanger with the boys arriving on an island of Dr. Frankensteins, there’s no indication yet of whether the story will continue. However, with over 300 strips to share, Poptropica could be posting for a while before we get to that point โ€” though we may have our answer by this time next year! ๐Ÿ“…


In other news, enjoy Poptropicaโ€™s latest Instagram stories. Thanks for showcasing (and visiting) the Poppies awards, Pop Creators! ๐Ÿฅณ

Anyway, enjoy the comics! Whether you log in for each day’s drop or read them all at once in the PHB’s Comics archive, worlds of chaos await. ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Camp Cretaceous and Art Bodacious ๐Ÿฆ•๐Ÿ–Œ

Hey Poptropicans, pop in for dinosaurs and doodles!

Home Island has a new ad building for the Netflix show Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, with a chase game that’s a bit of a challenge! Your goal is to run away from a dinosaur, jumping over obstacles until you reach the end โ€” but if you hit three obstacles, you’ll start over. 

If you’re successful, you’ll win aย Camp Cretaceous Merchย cap andย Camp Cretaceous Raptor Toothย necklaceย (which comes with an audible roar, and makes you sweat when you tap the spacebar).


Here’s the latest in Poptropica’s Instagram stories! In addition to bodacious fan art features, the Creators also launched a Pop poll with the help of the Little Miss/Mr meme to ask about device preferences for playing Pop. It’s not the first time they’ve popped this question, but just like before, desktop (at 85%) wins over mobile by a long shot.


Last call for voting in the Poppies! ๐Ÿ† Polls are open until this Friday, and we’ll be announcing the winners of our Poptropica fan awards this Sunday at 7pm EST in a spectacular slideshow. See you there! ๐Ÿฅณ

In addition to the YouTube livestream, we’ll also be hanging on Discord and the Arcade in Poptropica. See the party details here, and if you haven’t already, spare a few minutes to VOTE IN THE POPPIES! โœ…

Stall no more: Rumpelโ€™s Challenge for all ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Adventures await, Poptropicans!

Pop drop alert: Rumpelโ€™s Challenge is now available for all! ๐Ÿ˜ˆ Once for members only, this side quest sequel to Fairytale Island which first launched 10 months ago is finally welcoming non-members whoโ€™ve completed the main quest to continue the story.

To get cracking on the riddles, find Rumpelstiltskin on Home Island. Alas, the lead-up with the suspiciously twitching Baron is no longer in sight. For a helping hand in your inter-island search for the true king of Fairytale, keep our Rumpelโ€™s Challenge Side Quest Guide close! ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ‘‘

Speaking of the infamous magic man, check out this early concept art of the devilish character revealed on Popโ€™s Twitter! My, what big eyes you haveโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‘€


While youโ€™re on Home Island, you may also notice a new ad building for animated Netflix movie Sea Beast! ๐Ÿ™ Like the Rainbow High ad earlier, inside you can pick a team and play a game for prizes. Youโ€™ll have to run around and find 10 little beasts before time is up โ€“โ€“ mind the tentacles! You can play for each team to get each of their prizes: the Yellow Follower and Blue Follower (yup, how original).

(Thanks to Fearless Star for contributing to this segment!)


Also, guest writer Invisible Ring is back with a post of encouragement for finding a spirit of adventure with Poptropica. ๐Ÿ’ซ Check out her post over on the Creatorsโ€™ Blog, filled with tons of postcard-perfect shots!

And more excitement is to come โ€” check back later today for the start of our next round in the Poppies awards: the voting! See you soon!
