"Way back in elementary school, I’d say at the age of 11 or 12, I used to spend my class time doodling little Mega-Man-style levels for video games I dreamt of making some day. A couple of my friends got into it too, but none of them were very good at drawing and the pictures they penned for me were horrible. I mean really bad. One such drawing that someone showed me was a dinosaur of some kind, maybe a brontosaurus, but where its head should have been was a circular smiley face. The drawing was so bad and yet so hilarious that I have never forgotten it. Blockhead somehow spawned as a mockery of that drawing. I started to make little notebook paper comics featuring the character all through my early teens. Then I brought the character back for a few weeks at the age of 18. He made his final return as a Flash cartoon in ’05.
I was intimidated when I submitted my first Blockhead toon to Newgrounds. I expected that a few people out there like myself would think it was hilarious but that the majority of folks wouldn’t give it much thought. I never expected my work to have actual fans. The support of those fans is really what’s helped the series to improve. To any Newgrounds user who has ever wondered if their reviews can be helpful: they are! I owe a lot to the people who took the time to tell me what they liked about my cartoons as well as what they didn’t."

STORIES
The Money Thread
With 2021 being a new year, there are people who will want to have goals for the new year. Whether it is learning how to cook, lose weight, manage money better, or what have you. We have threads for these with The Work Out Thread, for those looking to lose weight, build muscle, or just be in better shape. Remember just because you look skinny and fit doesn't mean you are fit and healthy. All types work out. If you're wanting to learn how to cook, swap recipes and techniques then we have the NG Club for Cooks, Bakers & Eaters. We however did not have a thread to help with money management. @The-Great-One has created a thread for just that. To help budget your money, how to save it, invest it, and build a portfolio. Answers to tax questions. Tips and tricks to stretch your money. It is also there to alert people to what scams are out there, how to prevent them, catch them, and hopefully stop them if you think you're too far gone. 2021 is going to be a big year. Let's make it a great one together.

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 Monday Morning.
I missed some week's of the Tribune due to not only the holidays, but some wonderful events have happened. My best friend who moved to Texas around four years ago is moving back to South Carolina. This is an exciting time. My little brother also got married recently. He's in the army and in Colorado, but is also looking to move back to South Carolina as well after his service is done. My other little brother had a baby making me an uncle! There has been a lot going on at once and it is all exciting! Naturally I have been away from my writings on Newgrounds because of this. I apologize for that. Here's to getting everything back on track and a bright and beautiful future!
The Tank Tribune is a part of Dohn's Desk Productions
