TREADING NEW GROUND
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Happy Clock Day everybody! It's been 19 years since I decided to submit a single frame flash movie and Newgrounds would never be the same. I never imagined people would care about something like this nearly two decades later, but here we are! It's 2020 and there's plenty of clocks still making Clock movies, including one from myself! Since it's Clock Day, expect a lot of Clock movies in the portal from both new and old members. I don't have much else to say, except if you want to make animation, just make it! Even if you think you'll be the only one who'll enjoy it. Make what YOU want to make!

Today is Clock Day, so of course we have to celebrate the movie that started it all. If you can even call it a movie. It was just an off center static red letter B. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less. It is amazing how this could cause so much outrage among some and hilarity among others back in 2001. It did though. It was uploaded on August 15, 2001. And since then we celebrate every August 15th as Clock Day in celebration of this movie and The Clock Crew!
"The idea was to submit the entire alphabet one flash movie at a time and see how people would react. I expected every single one to get blammed, but the surprising success of 'B' changed my plans."

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. This week all games are Clock Day related!
Even more than two decades later, Newgrounds continues to be a platform where everybody is encouraged to show the world what kind of movies and games they can produce. Even if you're not a fan of the Clock content, there's so much content out there made by so many people, all with their own ideas and perspectives. I'm proud to be part of its history for strangest of reasons, but as far as I'm concerned the history of Newgrounds, what's being produced now and what the future holds is massive. It really is, 'Everything by Everyone'.
