LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Newgrounds is now 25 Years Old! That is impressive for Internet age. Most things die out after one, maybe five years tops! It is incredible to see that Newgrounds has lasted so long and through so many different generations of the Internet! Tom Fulp is still at the helm to this day. I hope one day his children will be running the site long into the future! If you're not a Supporter then I implore you become one today! Supporters now have their own article in the paper! There's a feature for you!

With the Musk Jam coming to an end it is important to look back at the first Newgrounds Jam. Five of the Top 50 Ranking Artists on Newgrounds came together to make this jam session. @T0MMY, @DonQuikote, @ericblak, @Pinnicle, and @SickDeathFiend.


"The Newgrounds Jam was intended to help support talented artists on NG. Please support a starving artist and use the DONATE link provided on this page to support these talented artists. This is a group project in which the artists listened to an original soundtrack and each created an animated segment based on that track. This was an incredible project to work on with some incredible talent. We all had fun and we hope you have a great time watching our work."

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. Here are a few games to play to unwind on this Sunday Morning.





I've been playing around with some of the tools in the news post creator with the headers. Was wondering if I should tag the musicians whose music go into the Sunday Phonograph. I am looking for feedback on this. As of right now I am officially on vacation from my day job. I will putting more writing into Newgrounds, but I will also be just relaxing and having a wonderful week off from work. For those of you who are enjoying this paper, but are a bit of night owls, I have something special planned for you this Saturday. If you support me on Patreon you will get a sneak peek at this project later on in the afternoon. With that being said, I hope you have a wonderful Sunday! Happy 25th Birthday to Newgrounds! I've been lucky enough to be here for 14 of those years!

Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that haiku, above all others of mine, to be published. It remains my personal favourite to this day, and I'm just touched that you published it :O

As for the Sunday Phonograph: yes, please tag the musicians featured. It'll mean quite a lot to them, I think. ☺️

Done!

This is an amazing post! Great work.

Thank you very much for the mention. ?

Appreciate the mention!

Thanks so much for the shout-out again! I'll definitely check out EverErratic's best song of the week thing. ^^

I simply scrolled casually, and mindblown im in there. Suffice to say that was one hell of an eye opener. So many popular artists that are way better than I am... makes me feel special a little bit for a moment. Thank you~! ^///^

Thank you for [hopefully] generating renewed interest in my AMA. I also wish this was a thing when I interviewed you. It's cool though--this shows tons more promise than the other project we did about.

It was really fun participating on Frollab

Thanks for shouting out the Frollab. We'll hopefully get around to the audio version soon, I just have a couple more exams to deal with.

Holy shit my news are on this news post! Thanks for the mention!

Thanks for mentioning my news post and cartoon on The Tank Tribune! I figured out the problem with the computer. This was a great read, I can't wait for the next issue.

Great as usual! Thanks for doing this work. It provides a nice sense of what's happening in the community.

I don't believe it....

I'm on the Newgrounds PAPER!

Thank you so much for including me and mentioning my first music album! ;3;

This is a very fun idea! Nice! Thank you for the mention!
It was about time I played through Fancy Pants again. :D

@Rob1221 is making a lot of cool tiny games recently! :o
Like a new stuffed-wombat...

Thank you for the warm welcome :3

Dawwww you guuyyss <3

I appreciate getting the spotlight shone on me!
congrats on staying so long as well!

Happy to have been mentioned for the Newgrounds Jam movie I put together with contributing artists. It's a good piece of NG history to check out.
