AND I SHOULD HOPE NOT! HE HAS ENOUGH AS IS!
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Good Morning Newgrounds! This month just sort of flew by didn't it? Easter is just around the corner and not long after that we'll be at Pico Day before you know it! We've had some birthday celebrations last week! Bringing the legacy of Egoraptor back to life with a new generation. Honoring one of Newgrounds dedicated moderators and biggest fans! Remaking a classic during the era of the beard. Taking note of other podcasts here on Newgrounds. The Phonograph moving forward will be a hint of who will start next week. The last song not counting the outro Paper Dragon, will be the composer who starts next week's Phonograph. That's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Here are the hip happenings of Newgrounds!

Art-Inspired Music Contest 2021 Begins!
@Random-storykeeper has announced this year's Art-Inspired Music Contest! A contest where musicians create a piece of music inspired by a piece of art from the Art Portal. An important note is that if you wish to enter you can start looking for art now, but can't start creating your entry until the contest officially begins! Last year's winner was @littlbox.
Last Week's Daily Features from the Portal as posted through P-Bot's Postings are listed here. We start the week with @saantonandre picking up his first Daily Feature for Mad Pirate Skeleton Bomber. @TwistedGrim nabs a 23rd Daily Feature for E M I. @iKiwed picks up their first Daily Feature for Paper Morshu. @elsamwell wins his first Daily Feature for reanimating a classic video in the style of TANKMEN with GET OUT OF THE TANK. @Figburn and @Spasco win the Daily Feature for a new rhythm game on the site, Neon Rhythm. Gumby's Pizza nabs a Daily Feature for @mikelzNG, @ColeBob, @Alexmigo, and @TheOGGriper. MOIKALOOP x GHOST DATA | Animated Music Video picked up a Daily Feature for @moikaloop, @Blipsqueek, and @Chobiluck to finish this week off.
This week we're featuring a different podcast. One that has died out back in 2019. It is @BenTibbetts podcast. He talks about music, creative processes, and there's some wonderful music played as well. It is certainly one for you to check out.
These are the people who make Newgrounds possible. Thank you!
SUPPORTER OF THE WEEK
@Malachy
Where to start with Malachy. One of the most helpful members of the site and most helpful moderators. After Rage came in with his thread for flagging abusive reviews got out of control, Malachy took it upon himself to come in and help clean up the mess on two separate occasions and still gives help to the reviewers of Newgrounds. Always looking to give support and help to those on the site in anyway he can. If he doesn't have the answer to your question, you can bet your ass that he knows who does. He is also one of the most highly underrated funny people on the site.
"this place is my home, man. This is where I landed when I started internetting way back in the day. I love the community and the content and Tom. I'm not fartistic by any sense but it makes my heart happy to see young folks get gud at it and do amazing things. If I can have a small part in supporting the next generation of video game developers, musicians, artists and animators then it is worth every cent."

Injuries (1999) - Fake Album

Back in the late 2000's gas prices were at quite the high peak in a lot of areas. Ranging from $2.50 a gallon to over $4 or $5 a gallon depending on where you live. It was a problem for everybody in the country who were looking to get back to work at any job they could during the recession. Once you finally have the job and have to scramble for hours, most of your paycheck went into your gas tank. SardonicSamurai had a poetic yet disturbing way of venting his feelings about this period.
"It seems like any popular flash I make is created due to me venting. A group of friends wanted to go hang out in an area that was around 30-45 minutes away. I really wanted to go, but gas was $4.00+ and I had no money to fill my tank up. Instead of going out to party with friends, I created that flash as a joke. I was the voice actor for the Dollar, as well as every other character I've ever animated. I don't like asking for voice actors help, and I have a wide range of voices. I've constantly been told by friends to get into voice acting, and I'm just now starting to take those people seriously. I'm looking for a new microphone and hope to start voicing other peoples animations as well as my own!"

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.
Work has been hell for this entire month. Getting home to a set schedule for my writing is getting easier. I have learned that I cannot be an early bird. I am a night owl through and through. I've tried to convert to an early bird and I just can't do it. It goes against my nature so much. It's back to burning the midnight oil for me. Good news for all of you though, because now I can the paper to you before 5AM once again! Hope you all enjoy your morning! I'll see all of you again after Easter... or will I?
