Pitching for Poptropica’s golden days 🌞

Agent Bubbles

Hello Poptropicans! While there hasn’t been any official news from Pop lately, we did recently get a little update from a couple OG Pop Creators.

Jonathan Pitcher, former Poptropica art director, met up with Jeff Kinney, Poptropica’s founder better known for his Diary of a Wimpy Kid franchise, at StoryCon in Salt Lake City. We loved his heartfelt post on Twitter/X harkening back to the “golden days of Poptropica,” where Jeff, whom he calls “an old friend”, “directed our stories.”

StoryCon is an event that encourages and educates on writing for both young and old attendees. Guests this year included Brandon Mull (author of the Fablehaven series), Christopher Paolini (author of Eragon), and of course, Jeff Kinney. I’m certainly taking notes for if I ever attend!

The OG Poptropica Creators aren’t the only ones yearning for the good old days of the game! Our little community on the PHC, our Discord server, is still brimming with creativity. Check out these awesome fan art pieces recently shared on our server — just a sample of the fun you’ll find if you join us on the Poptropica Help Chat! ✨

Well, would you look at that? We’re all caught up on all the ones that have been reserved! 🥳


I cannot stop drawing these little guys for the life of me, it’s too much fun! Arrest me, officer. 😝

Alrighty! I can’t think of much else to say so without further ado, I present to you…

ROUND 4!

C1— Golden Leaf (ewasmcsquared)
B7— Maroon Ring
A8— Zombie Ringleader (hamburger hamburger)
E7— Smart Bubbles
A4— Dr. Fox
D3— Serious Clown
D1— Smart Owl

I absolutely ADORE all of your characters! It’s extremely awesome how many unique characters that you can come up with. Thank you to everyone who got drawn this round! 💖

How to get your Poptropican drawn next? Here’s what you need to do:

💬 COMMENT BELOW (on the most recent DYPAE post) a reference screenshot for your Poptropican (using a public image sharing site like Imgur), their name, AND which facial expression you would like them to have from the chart near the top of the post (for example, C1).

  • 🙅‍♂️ When asking for an expression, please don’t ask for one that has already been claimed (either by someone in the comments before you, or one that has been crossed out or circled in the chart). First come, first served!
  • ❗️ Please only comment Poptropica character per person. BUT If you’ve already gotten one of yours drawn, you CAN comment ONE MORE character.(And we’ll see how this goes.) 😝

⏳ After you comment, WAIT PATIENTLY. Everyone who comments and wants to have their Poptropican drawn will get added to a list, so no one gets missed. Each round I’ll only post a handful of them, so hang tight, yours will get drawn at some point. 😃

Don’t be shy! There are still A TON of emoticons just waiting for someone to claim them. 🥺

That’s all for now! Can’t wait to see more of your Poptropicans! 😃

(The crossed out ones I have already drawn, and the circled ones have already been reserved by other people. 😃)

I hope that everyone is happy with their doodle! All of your Poptropicans were SO fun to draw! I think I said that last round too, BUT I really do mean it, all of them are so fun and unique. 💖

That’s all for round 2! 🥳

How to get your Poptropican drawn next? Here’s what you need to do:

💬 COMMENT BELOW (on the most recent DYPAE post) a reference screenshot for your Poptropican (using a public image sharing site like Imgur), their name, AND which facial expression you would like them to have from the chart near the top of the post (for example, C1).

(I also had a few people reach out to me on discord because they couldn’t figure out how to comment an image of their Poptropican. It’s already mentioned above but A good way you can comment an image is Imgur which doesn’t require you to sign up! But if you are still struggling, and really have no other option, you can send it to me on discord just as long as you also comment the emoticon you claimed, so other’s don’t ask for the same emoticon. 😁)

⏳ After you comment, WAIT PATIENTLY. Everyone who comments and wants to have their Poptropican drawn will get added to a list, so no one gets missed. Each round I’ll only post a handful of them, so hang tight, yours will get drawn at some point. 😃

Alrighty! See you guys in Round 3…
