A TRUSTED NEWS SOURCE - SAYS 8 OUT OF 10 PEOPLE
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Good Morning Newgrounds! How was your week last week? I spent mine enjoying my vacation at home. Browsing Newgrounds. Working on the paper and not much else. Had my birthday, I am now 30 years old. Last week had a lot going on and now with August approaching there are more contests than you shake a stick at. If you're the creative sort there is something out there to get your works known and maybe even take home a little money. With all of that said, here's what was happening on Newgrounds last week!

Mamma Mario
Draw-Sketoboy
Debuting back in 2006, this exploded in popularity. Based on a rumor that Mario had a subliminal Communist propaganda. Made by @Celarent, his skills would improve especially with his movie Look up at the sky.
"It's great to see him
The specific rumor was that Mario was designed to look like Joseph Stalin. Of course, I also heard that Dr. Robotnik was designed to look like Theodore Roosevelt, so is that propoganda too? There have been a lot of funny parodies that portray the Mario series in a much darker way. This is one of the best and suitably one of the most well known. What really works is how utterly gorgeous this animation is.
It may be the most realistic Mario I've ever seen. It's a bit hard to show a Mario cartoon when it's based on a sidescroller but you did it fairly well. I especially love how exaggerated the action is with all the blood and everything. I think my favorite part is seeing the sledge hammer hit the box. That really shows off the dimensions well."

THE MEMBERS OF NEWGROUNDS
NEW USERS
@Leftv signed up nearly a year ago. He's just now branching out to the forums. Give him a friendly hello and show him some of your favorite parts of the site in the Intro Thread.
@Rooooooonie has been lurking on the site for a while now and just recently made an account. They've been working on their drawing skills and are looking to animate. They're a little shy about sharing their works. Say hello in the Intro Thread.
STORIES
@RedStamp recently celebrated their birthday. Go and wish them a good one!
Why is cognition even harder to get than listening?
@VicariousE has been having trouble with his farm lately with herbivores devouring his crops, and ranting about his family. If you can give him a pick me up or if you have farm experience then pass it along.
Speaking of Mods do they get paid?
@Wegra asks the question on whether or not moderators get paid. Apparently there is dental plan and questionable things involving teeth.
A LOOK BACK AT THREADS OF THE PAST
A long time ago, there was a movement started by a 14 year old named McKay Hatch. The goal was to stop cussing. There was quite the discussion on the forums about is this just a wholesome movement to help clean up language or was it a movement under the guise of censorship?
Epic Quest! The NG Choose-Your-Own MSPaint Adventure!
@scottmale24 created an Art Forum game for artist to play. In Epic Quest: Tale of the Dragon's Gold.

USERS OF THE DAY ON THIS DATE
2003: @Desolator64
2005: @Zerok
2010: @smokinjoeevil
2019: @AleC-Games
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 have been on this spinning blue orb for three decades now. Honestly I am surprised I have lived this long. It is wonderful to back at my writing and to truly find out what type of a writer I am. I have come to accept that I am not a creative writer, I just don't have the ability for it. I am a journalist. It was a long journey to find that out about myself, and I have Newgrounds to thank for that. I tend to highlight the new users and some unknown artists on here. If you're one of the newer people to the site, I hope you stick around. You will learn more about yourself and your craft than you could possibly imagine. I hope you all enjoyed this week's issue. After my vacation I have a lot of work to catch up on. Thanks again for reading!
