Saving the day… because he’s Super Hot Dog Boy!

Slanted Fish

If you’ve been around since the early days of the Poptropica Creators’ Blog, maybe you’ll remember this old comic! A cheesy tale of heroism and hot dogs, Super Hot Dog Boy came in 4 parts. It’s so old that even the PHB had only been around for about a month when I first posted about it! Wow. 🙂

Back in the day, these comics were posted by Comic Kid, the PCB alter ego of Super Power Island‘s Ned Noodlehead! This Thursday, however, we get to discover our inner Super Hot Dog Boy by playing Super Villain Island! (Yup, there’s the word “super” again.) So that’s why the Creators decided to repost the comics. 😛

Click “Read More” below to view them fully enlarged right here on this blog, or view the original PHB posts about them.

Less than (Ben) 10 days until Super Villain Island!

Slanted Fish

That is, if you’re a Poptropica member! Super Villain Island is set to release on September 27, 2012, which is next Thursday! We don’t know yet when it will be released to everyone, but maybe non-members will get a little demo. We’ll see. 😛

Get ready for dreams and disasters, and remember, the PHB’s Super Villain Island page will have guides and other resources available when it comes time to beat the villains. 😀

Also, there is a new Ben 10 Omniverse ad on Main Streets! Thanks to Samwow5 for his help on the guide:

Go inside and talk to Ben. He’ll tell you to talk to Zook. Zook says he is Ben’s new partner, and Zombozo is up to his old tricks again. Click on the 3rd question. You’ll have to help Ben get to Zombozo.

The rules state that you have to jump and climb your way to the top, but watch out for Zombozo’s bombs. If you get hit too many times, you have to start over. It’s very easy – just jump to different sides often until you reach the top. When you reach the top, he leaves. You win 2 prizes: the Alien Transformation Power and Ben 10 Costume.

In other news, don’t forget to enter the PHB’s 7 million hits contest if you haven’t already! You have until this Friday, September 21st for your chance to win a rare costume. 😀
