LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Good Morning Newgrounds! Pico Day is officially upon us, with 40 Days until the big event! April Fool's Day is right around the corner! The Portals are getting freaky on a Friday night! There have also been submissions that have slipped under the radar that Tom has highlighted. This is a smaller issue compared to last week's, which if you haven't read last week's then please do so!

The Newgrounds Podcast recently talked to @heyopc to talk about his music, give some advice, and his origins as a musician. Our lord and savior @TomFulp was also on to talk about the Flash Forward Jam as well as answer some questions about Newgrounds. @JohnnyUtah popped in a bit and so did @Xinxinix.
These are the people who make Newgrounds possible. Thank you!
SUPPORTER OF THE WEEK
@liljim
liljim is Newgrounds favorite Brit. He has been responsible for a lot of stuff under the hood at Newgrounds, even to this day. He picked up where @Ross left off with Newgrounds and is responsible for not only the Audio Portal, but the Art Portal as well. He works alongside @PsychoGoldfish on optimizing other parts of the site that has made it flourish from where it was back in the early 2000s to today!

This week's featured artist is @comradebodko. He has quite the realistic dark approach to his works. His use of shading to set the tone in each piece is quite splendid! He's done work on the Dragonball Z: Collab and the Totally Tubular Collab.

This is typically where we showcase a piece of Newgrounds history from the Flash Portal, which is now just called The Portal for short. However we still have a ton of submission that are Under Judgement. Today I want everybody who reads the paper to go to The Portal and help clear up as many submissions as you can. What should stay on Newgrounds and what shouldn't. You as a Newgrounds Member have that choice during this phase. Every submission that gets posted to Newgrounds has to go through this phase no matter what.

This morning we officially debut the Matinee. It has been a feature in the past, but will be interchanged with the Console going forward. To start off this week, Tom noticed there have been a lot of cool movies here on Newgrounds that were not FRIDAY NIGHT FUNKIN' themed so he decided to highlight some in the thread Non-Funkin' Movies and asked others to share some new movies that have missed the spotlight. The Tank Tribune has collected his findings into this morning's Matinee. I hope you enjoy.
Sorry there was a delay with this issue. Scheduling conflicts at work made it to where I had to pump out a lot of this last night and sleep was required soon after. There is some exciting stuff coming next week for the Tribune though as well as a surprise for the upcoming Pico Day. If you're not a Follower on The Tank Tribune then become one and don't miss out on the big things coming!
