Newspaper reading

A penguin reading the Club Penguin Times.

Club Penguin Times (known as The Penguin Times before September 2007) is Club Penguin's local newspaper, which comes out every Thursday. It can be read at any time by clicking the newspaper icon on the upper left corner of the screen.
Aunt Arctic is the newspaper's editor-in-chief, as well as its formal help columnist for the advice column "Ask Aunt Arctic". The headquarters of the newspaper were moved to the Book Room on June 14, 2012. Club Penguin Times also produces the Newsletter, which could be read on the DS Games. It was announced on April 14, 2015 that sections of some articles of the Club Penguin Times will be posted on the What's New Blog[1].

Newspaper look

Originally, the newspaper was similar to the other books in Club Penguin; It had many pages. Each page had a letter and a number- the letter, that came first, mentioned the sections of the page, while the number was used for different pages from the same section.

On November 18, 2010, the newspaper got a brand new look. Instead of pages, the newspaper was published on 2 sides of a long paper, that can be scrolled up, down and flipped. The comics and puzzles sections were removed, and the release time was changed from Thursday to Friday, and then later back to Thursday. Comics were brought back to the newspaper in December 2013.

The Reviewed by You Section was moved to the What's New Blog in May 2009, and the Technical News Section was moved to the What's New Blog in February 2006 as it is more about real life than the game.
Also, after the new look of issue #266, the CP team removed the poetry, puzzles, and comics sections.

Games

The old look of the newspaper had a few games on its "Extra" section. The games were Dot-To-Dot, Puffle-So-Cute-O, Puzzle Shuffle and Word Search. There were hints to upcoming parties on Word Search.

Secrets

  • Sometimes, if you mouse over the word "Jokes" or "Poetry", Extra jokes would pop up. This is a hidden secret, just like Aunt Arctic's hidden sunglasses. Many penguins do not know about this. All mascots have a secret occasion.
  • On the picture of the broken Everyday Phoning Facility logo in issue #369 of the Club Herbert Times (as it was temporarily called at that point), you'll find a note from the Director of The EPF.

Comics

Comics Newspaper 426

The first new comic, which appeared in Issue #426.

Main article: Comic

While some comics have appeared in the Community section of Club Penguin's website, fan made comics were included in all issues up until the new design in November 2010. On December 19, 2013, the comics section was brought back, replacing the second part of Ask Aunt Arctic on the second page. These comics are drawn and written by Club Penguin artists.

Hidden jokes

Hidden Jokes

Ocean and Jordy in News

Two players in the Club Penguin Times.

  • It is the only newspaper in Club Penguin, but the Newsletter, which is produced by the Club Penguin Times, appears in DS games.
  • In issue #129, the Club Penguin Times announced that in issue 130 Aunt Arctic is going to be the chief of the Club Penguin Times.
  • Before December 2005, all issues of the Club Penguin Times were in black and white.
  • The 100th Newspaper Event was held in the Boiler Room to celebrate the 100th issue.
  • The 150th Newspaper Pin was made to celebrate its 150th issue.
  • In Issue #266, the Club Penguin Times got a new design.
  • The reason why Club Penguin changed the design is to focus and work on parties and other items.
  • The PSA used to hide messages in the Penguin Times.
  • During the Marvel Super Hero Takeovers, one page was regular with the superhero sign supporting superheroes and police officers, while the other page was green and supported super villains and bank robbers. *When you see a penguin reading the newspaper in-game, you can see that the title in the newspaper is "Daily Report."
  • After every Igloo Decorating Contest, the Club Penguin Times will show the winners.
  • It used to take the Club Penguin team 100 hours to create the old newspaper design.
  • During Operation: Blackout, in Issue 369 to Issue 371, the newspaper had been replaced by Club Herbert Times.
  • In Issue #115, the Club Penguin Times was released 2 days early on December 25, 2007, in a special Christmas Edition.
  • On the day of the release of issue #400, Aunt Arctic waddled around for a short time.
  • Issue #426 was the first issue to use comics since the newspaper update on November 18, 2010.
  • Players Ocean6100 and JordyP1 were shown in the main article of issue #440.
  • Issue #444 of the Club Penguin Times was the first to include a meme.
  • Issue #448 was renamed as Issue #104448, and so was #449 as #104449, meaning that the newspaper had that many issues as of the year 4014. Also, both of these issues had a light-blue, holographic, hex design. This was for the Future Party.
    • Although the Club Penguin Times issue number is #10448 and #10449, the issue number seen when checking out older Club Penguin Times newspaper is #448 and #449.
    • If ClubPenguin continued to release an issue every week, issues #10448-#10449 will come out in the year 2033.
  • If you move your cursor over the picture of the penguin in the Ask section of the newspaper, the picture of the penguin will change. For example, in the Ask Aunt Arctic section, her glasses will darken. However, it doesn't apply to all penguins like in issue #445 of the Club Penguin Times, nothing happens when you move your cursor over Dot's face.
  • In issue #471, they made an error in the "Ask Rookie" section saying Full Moon Fireballs were Fullmoon Fireballs.[2]
  • Starting with issue 489, fan art was brought back to the Club Penguin Times. It is shown on the back page, in the same place where either comics or a second section of Ask Aunt Arctic are located. Unlike fan art in the old layout of the Club Penguin Times, various characters now "commentate" on the drawings.
