SUPPORTER OF THE WEEK

@SrPelo


When the spooky month comes around everybody is ready to do the spooky dance! SrPelo's creations have brought new people to Newgrounds for a love of Halloween. He was asked for permission for Skid and Pump to appear in FRIDAY NIGHT FUNKIN'. Not only did he agree, but he voiced them in their song as well. His contributions to the contests, events, and people of Newgrounds has been incredible. Thank you for all you do SrPelo.

This week's featured artist is @DoctorGrambo! He has recently made his return to Newgrounds and celebrating 200 Fans. That number has now surpassed 300 Fans! He has a deranged style that I quite like. At the same time though, his attention to detail in realism is incredible!

TODAY'S HAIKU

Haikus for lost days!

Don't stress, just get out there and

Enjoy the cosmos

@Cyberdevil




This reboot has been a labor of love. I didn't miss out on anything Newgrounds related, I just wasn't able to write properly. I could write by hand no problem. Typing was a different story. I am back in full force now so expect the 1 Year Anniversary of The Tank Tribune to be phenomenal! I intend on doing some work on the Patreon as well. I am thankful to my patrons for being so patient with me. This old soul isn't as up to date as he should be. I look forward to seeing all of you next week! Criticism is welcome going forward with the redesign! Enjoy your morning Newgrounds!

Haha sorry for showin up on there twice this week :) really nutty to see my stuff with artists like those n really makes me wanna work to get better

いえーい!!!!

I loved reading this. Cant wait to stay tuned to it!

Oh wow! I never thought I'd get mentioned on this page again. Thank you!

Wonderful to hear you recovered! I love reading these on Mondays.
the new banners are looking slick as hell blending in with the dark red??
great edition but I got a couple of criticisms/questions though:
1;I'd change the new "featured art" from most viewed pieces to highest score or something curated(could be a bit of work though so idk) otherwise we're always gonna get 5 drawings of hot women in bikini(no problem w/ those, personally I just prefer bit more variety)
2; The featured audio is now a "Top 40", did that change? I was under the impression that the phonograph playlist was hand picked as it often had some songs with 50-100 plays, which was pretty neat bc I've been discovering quite a few new NG musicians through that.

It was great to see this pop up in my feed!!!!

Welcome back! Enjoyed reading this issue, and I sincerely appreciate the mention. :)

"Alright everyone calm down, the Tank Tribune's back and we don't have go Defcon -1 now, phew."

Piconjo pwns j00

Thanks for plugging the festival!

thank you so much for featuring me here!

@PegasuTV Yeah the Art Portal part needs to be changed. The Phonograph is still hand picked, but the Newgrounds Top 40 is the 40 most listened to songs for that week. They are still separate and will remain that way.

Ayyyye thank you for the featured artist shoutout! Really happy you like my stuff!

Woah I wasn't expecting this! thanks!! <3 :D

@The-Great-One tbh I skimmed right throug the Phonograph without seeing it when I read this edition. I think I didnt see the old yellow letter banner and just skipped ahead, glad its still here!

Eee, thanks for the shoutout! I'll try and take a look at everyone else's stuff. Anyway, I love this thing!

Sorry about your wrist, but glad you're healing!
