While I'm disappointed to see that a bunch of internal Club Penguin stuff leaked, at least I guess some folks get to see the character sheets we made back then? I am so grateful I got to work with some super-talented writers, and the character sheets were so fun to create 💚

If you're looking for rare Card-Jitsu cards, the first and last sets are the most difficult to find. The original set was before the Card-Jitsu name, and they had the generic "Club Penguin Trading Card Game" title. This was the set I wrote and picked all the art/powers for in '08

What's your favorite illustration from the Club Penguin Times? I quite like this one

Now THIS is a fun fact! The Clock Tower is one of my favorite locations in CP, as it was all about community. A central gathering place. A uniter. Such a little thing but seriously so good and helpful. I just kinda wish it was at the Iceberg instead

14 years ago today, the Clock Tower was added to the Snow Forts. It was created to help Penguins who live in different parts of the world, meet in Club Penguin at the same time.
