Hello again, Poptropicans! Dropping by with a few updates!
Unfortunately, the Creator’s Blog still hasn’t been active since the end of February, but there have been small updates on social media and additions โ or in one case, a subtraction โ to the game itself.
First, let’s show off some wonderful fan art features from the official Pop Instagram. Click the artists’ names to view the original posts!
The Creators also announced this month’s member gifts: a WhitePhantom Rogue costume, White Phantom Rogue Power that turns you partially invisible, and a White Phantom Butterfly Follower. ๐ฆ
The ensemble is a little unusual compared to most other outfits in the game, particularly because of its monochrome color palette. Nonetheless, it’s interesting and quite refreshing!
Meanwhile, non-members and members alike can go shopping with the new rotation at Adventure Outfitters, now stocked with swords aplenty. If only these Astro-Knights came with the long-lost island itself! โ๏ธ
Have you been keeping up with the Daily Comics from the in-game map? After 300+ strips from the series which began its daily showings in July 2022, the comic strips have been reset. So rather than continuing on with the story, which had ended on a cliffhanger, the strips have been removed and are now being re-uploaded from the beginning. Seems like this was just another way for Pop to manufacture novelty!
Finally, long-time Poptropica CreatorJonathan Pitcher posted a couple tweets on his personal account related to his work for the game: a piece of concept art for the Multi-Tool in Steamworks Island, and compliments to pop band AJR for being his muse as he works.
There's something to AJR. Those guys never fail to help me get my creative juices flowing while I'm working on Poptropica. #AJR#poptropicapic.twitter.com/3Fjz7pO31O
So, are you about to joinamasquerade while donning your phantom costume? Will you listen to the music of the night as you work late into the days on fanart? Are you interested in going down once more into the antics of Jorge and Oliver?
Whatever you plan on doing, all I ask of you is that you think of me and the PHB team as you continue on your adventures!
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!

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.

As always, you guys have proved yourself to be stars with your amazing submissions this months! Talk about some content creators!
May: 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 May’s theme? May’s theme isโฆ
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!
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 a guest post by Invisible Ring. Enjoy!
Greetings, Poptropica fans! Invisible Ring is back, and the next post of the PoptropiCon Saga is finally ready to go.ย
Nearly a week of conventional madness is all covered in Parts 1 and 2, and it ends with a dramatic turn of events. Now, here come the next three issues! But first, a blurb:
The tables have turned, and an awakening of evil has come out of the shadows. Itโs lights out for everything we thought we knew before. Like the Reign of Omegon, a resistance has formed, retreats have been made, and desperate changes of tactics have been set into motion.
The true boss behind the Omegon invasions is dangerous and unpredictable, and PoptropiCon is the only place to find more information about this mysterious maniac. But time is running out. The war is escalating, and the next battle threatens to be too much for the Con to hold… Prepare yourself! The fight is about to be relocated. We must be ready to leave PoptropiCon and finish the battle somewhere else!
Issue #7: The Force of E. Vile
Issue #8: The Roundabout
Issue #9: When the Storm Strikes!
โฆYou have been warned.ย
To find out where the rest of the robo-battle is going, stay tuned for the next part of the PoptropiCon Saga!
Hope you enjoyed this guest post by Invisible Ring. If you did, you might also enjoy other posts of hers, including her PHB interview about her Poptropica fan movie, Battle Morale!
