“WHY DO THEY CALL IT NEWSPAPER IF YOU NEWS READ THE OLD WORDS OUT PAPER WRITE THE NEW WORDS?”
@HatNHoodie
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Good Morning Newgrounds! The past two weeks have been exhausting to say the least. I've been working on getting on a better sleep schedule and it has definitely had it affect on it. There has been quite a bit going on with Madness Day right around the corner. It's incredible we've been celebrating Madness Day since 2007! Not only that, the Sketch Collab has been going since 2007 as well and is approaching. The Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch is still ongoing, with the judges coming to their final decisions for Round 2. The Tribune will be featuring podcasts in the interview section of the paper instead of strictly focusing on The Interviewer. I've been working on changes for the paper, looking to expand it and bring in more from my Patreon patrons. Oh, and please stop sending friend requests to The Tank Tribune. This is strictly a project page. If you want to be friends, come to my main account. With all of that out of the way, here are the hip happenings on Newgrounds!

@midgetsausage is hosting the annual Sketch Collab this year. This collab has been going on since 2007. Every year, animators gather together to make short animated segments. The organizer then compiles them together with a song to go in the background. If you want to participate in this traditional collab, then click the pic above! They're accepting entries until November 2nd, 2004.
Newgrounds voted, in the brand new voting system, which splits up the Movies and Games from the Portal and now there are Best of the Month awards for Art and Audio. Not only this, now entries that have won in the Top 5 have Best of the Month trophies on their entry and their trophies page. The Tank Tribune will showcase the Number 1 entry from each Portal!
Best Movie goes to @JamesLee for Fuck the Artists. It also picked up the Daily Feature and Weekly Users' Choice awards. This marks his 10th Best of the Month award! Previous wins include Batman Hates Bronies, Breaking up with Adobe, and DOPAMINE DANCE MAN.
Best Game goes to @rm120 for Dungeon Watchers. This marks their first Best of the Month award. Their game also won the Daily 5th Place.
Best Audio goes to @ZaneLittle for BUNNY³ (Score). It was the score for the movie BUNNY³ by @Jaquin. This movie would give both Jaquin and ZaneLittle a Daily Feature, Weekly Users' Choice, and Monthly 3rd Place. ZaneLittle picked up his 2nd Monthly 3rd Place. His first being for Animation in The Bartman Reanimate Collab.
Best Art goes to @DeimosArt for No Gods, No Masters. This is the first Best of the Month and first overall award for DeimosArt.
The day to celebrate @Krinkels masterpiece, Madness, is next Sunday! We come together for blood, carnage, chaos, and clowns. There will be prizes for Animation, Art, and Music. If you want to donate to the prize pool then click here, make your Donation and PM Tom to let him know that you have donated that amount to the Madness Day prize pool. If you're looking to submit something for Madness Day, then follow the rules and guidelines below.
Submission rules/guidelines;
- We can only regard entries submitted on SEP 22 through the end of SEP 23 at the very LATEST. That's a 48 hour window but I have to implore that you land it on SEP 22 to be easier to find and showcase. Things tend to get lost in the chaos and arriving late makes it rough.
- In the event of a collab placing, all winnings will be sent to the collab organizer for them to distribute as they see fit.
- Music submissions can only be judged as individual songs. Soundscapes or Albums should be parsed/broken down into their individual tracks so that judging can be done on a individual basis.
- All winnings will be distributed via PayPal.
- In order for us to find you, please tag your submission with #MadnessDay2024, this is very important!
- YOWO - You Only Win Once. A person can post multiple entries across every category, but can only win placement once.
- It should go without saying, but just in case; post it here on Newgrounds!
There have been a lot of updates to Ruffle that you can read about here. Newgrounds has been using Ruffle to run Flash games on the site, with the death of Flash in 2020. Originally made by Newgrounds own @mike, multiple developers have been hard at work to help the preservation of Flash. You can help support Ruffle here.
If you can't make a donation towards Ruffle, you can help out on Newgrounds by being a part of the Ruffle Testing / Flash Preservation Crew.
Ruffle ensures that we preserve the history of Newgrounds, without it, the Sunday Console on The Tank Tribune wouldn't be as awesome as it is. We wouldn't have the Flash Forward Jam. There would be a lot of cool movies that you wouldn't be able to watch anymore. Not only does this benefit Newgrounds, but other surviving Flash sites that you have visited in the past.
This week’s featured artist is @Powgal. She joined the site at the start of this year and has been tearing up the Art Portal. She’s been drawing since the age of 4. At the age of 5 she drew her first comic entitled Pinkie Pie’s Cupcakes. She has also participated in the Kart Kollab and Who's That Pokemeat? (Pokemon Mystery Meat Collab). Check out her works below!

PAST INTERVIEWS
@DrSevenSeizeMD has been in and out of the hospital due to multiple surgeries. This time a large mass was taken from her thyroid. She's been on paid medication, but it hasn't been working, excepting making her high without dealing with the pain. She intends on telling people she got into a knife fight with Tom. Whether her story ends with her winning or losing will probably depend on her audience. Send some love her way.
Here are the Users of the Week from September 8th, 2024 - September 14th, 2024.
Congratulations to all of you!

The week can get people down sometimes. With all of the hustle and bustle and action packed drama that entails our lives, sometimes it's nice to just kickback and relax. Today we’re looking at the favorites from Newgrounds own @Wegra.
If a game is not loading properly for you, then install the Newgrounds Flash Player. There are instructions on how to do so. If it is still not working or you don't understand, create a thread in the Where is / How to / Help! Forum for assistance.
September has been a busy month for me lately. My little brother's birthday is this month, and both of Rex's older brothers birthdays are in September as well. It is a lot to take in. Which my little brother and his wife are having a baby girl. I will be an Uncle to my new niece! Believe me, this gay uncle is ready to hold the fanciest tea party imaginable! I don't have much else to say here, life has been going pretty well, except for the sleep patterns, combining that with the day job, and too many projects on my plate once again. Shout out to @Skoops for his patience.
