Hey Poptropicans! It’s grad season, and at least one creative graduate has decorated their mortarboard with Poptropica art! 
Reddit user ottomicbomb recently shared their grad cap featuring a bedazzled Dr. Hare and blimp, and it reminded us of a couple other artful pieces from years past, by Azia and happyclonetrooper. Check them out below, and if you’re a new grad too, congratulations! 
While graduation (and their fancy hats) mark the end of an era, it also invites us to look back at our beginnings. A new meme by TeamTheorist on Instagram, of the famed Theorists YouTube channels including Game Theory, referenced Poptropica among a carousel of 2000s–2010s virtual worlds, each captioned “Where my gamer lore started.” Specifically, it features the Hydra scene from Mythology Island:
Whether you’re currently celebrating the start or end of a chapter, or are just bumbling along in the middle, thanks for being part of our journey! If you’d like to join a community of Poptropicans, you can always find new things happening in our PHC Discord server (open to ages 13+), including plenty of art and memes. We’d love to have you!
