LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Good Morning Newgrounds! Sorry for the lateness in this edition posted. Newgrounds was experiencing crashes pertaining to FRIDAY NIGHT FUNKIN'. This issue was planned out to celebrate the Games here on Newgrounds to coincide with Week 7 and Castle Crashing The Beard HD coming out. We are here now with the "Monday" Console having 40 Games, all classics on Newgrounds, all Ruffle enabled, for you to play this morning! Pico Day is coming up next Saturday so if you don't have your entry ready then now would be time to put on the finishing touches. With that out of the way, here are the hip happenings of Newgrounds!

Drawn anything recently?
@LucaTheHuman is an artist and is wondering if you have drawn anything recently. Could be a work-in-progress, a completed work, a doodle, anything. Doesn't matter if art is your hobby or if you were just scribbling. Share it with Newgrounds!
Gonna Be More Active
@Pervyangel is looking to be more active here on Newgrounds. He has been busy with his Patreon, some things going on in life, and his DeviantArt winding down.
Parappa Newgrounds Collab
@jelly07 and @Zalay are looking to start a Newgrounds Collab. They are looking to make one based off of PaRappa the Rapper, both the video game and anime. If you're interested in joining then send a Demo Reel of your past works to either jelly07 or Zalay.
@Jazza would bring us his contribution to Pico Day 2006 with an anthem. It is how I start celebrating each Pico Day. With this momentous occasion just around the corner, I thought it fitting to reminisce with this Pico Day submission.

STORIES
The Official JimmyBiscuit Crazy Thread!
@JimmyBiscuit has a thread for all of her ramblings and shower thoughts. Pop in sometime if you would like a little madness or I guess maybe advice.
Blam More Stuff!
@MatthewMcChan is calling on you to go to The Portal and vote on Under Judgement submissions. BLAM (a.k.a. delete) movies and games. Help keep the site clean and do your civic duty as a Newgrounds member!
The Adventures of SevenSeize
@SevenOnAStick (a.k.a. the artist formerly known as SevenSeize) lost her power recently. It is thankfully back on now. She wants all of you to know that she's very proud of you.
The Roast of Deity-Donkus
@Deity-Donkus has requested that Newgrounds give him a celebrity roast. Do your worst Newgrounds!
RIP Adam Perkins
Although not Newgrounds related, it is sad to see another Internet personality die. Adam Perkins passed away. The cause of death hasn't been disclosed. He was a Vine star best known for his Welcome to Chili's Vine.
NG Games you can play with a controller?
@BronzeHeart92 is looking for any games on Newgrounds that can be played with a controller instead of the keyboard. Back in 2009 @MindChamber made a post entitled Quit Playing Flash Games on your KeyBoard!. It is an old news post so with updates the video tutorials are no longer there. It is something to look into if you're interested.
So Piss is back on Newgrounds
@Wegra has noted the return of one of Newgrounds veteran users, @Piss. The Tank Tribune issues him a hearty Welcome Back!
QUOTES OF THE WEEK
"Is this the JimmyBiscuit x DrunkGeck arc on the newgrounds bbs online anime?"
"Were you having an aneurysm while writing this or is that something you have daily?"
"I am robot Wegra, mecha wegra!"
"There is nothing wrong with edgy humor, as long as you know your audience and where the line is."
PIC OF THE WEEK
A LOOK BACK AT THREADS OF THE PAST
The Push For Pico Day!
@Galloglasses came up with the idea to celebrate one of Newgrounds mascots. The creation of Tom Fulp, Pico. Pico is to Newgrounds what Mickey Mouse is to Disney. Pico Day is an important holiday here on Newgrounds. A celebration of Pico and his friends, the TANKMEN, and other Newgrounds iconic characters. This was an idea back in 2005. We have celebrated Pico Day since then.
After six long years

2011: @ComptonAssTravis
2020: @DreamsWarErotica
Work has been hell the past few days. Sunday while I was slicing I had numbness in my left hand that went through my arm. My heart started doing crazy stuff and I had trouble breathing. I pinched a nerve in my wrist which messed with blood flow and through my system out of whack. The doctor believes I am in the beginning stages of carpal tunnel syndrome. I am currently wearing a wrist brace with a thumb stint in it and I have to follow up with a doctor going forward. I am resting my wrist as much as possible going forward so please be patient with my writings going forward. Thank you all for reading and sorry for the delay in the paper, but out of all the things to delay it, overwhelming traffic on Newgrounds is a wonderful way for it to crash.

The Pico Day Anthem is one of my most fondly remembered Pico shorts. I once recorded the music from my speakers with a cheapo MP3 player because I was too stupid and young to just transfer the MP3 over instead.
Also holy hell, normal eyes Raiden in the papers! Thanks for the mention, appreciate it.
