“THE TAGLINES ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION”
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Good Morning Newgrounds! Sorry this issue has come out late for my Patreon Producers. My day job has made my work week exhausting. There’s not too much to this issue. I have a lot going on in July and the rest of the Summer. I will have something bigger for all of you next week and every week after that. I would also like to make a note, please stop sending Friend Requests to The Tank Tribune account. If you want to be friends or message me about the paper, please do it through my main account. I typically try not to tag myself in papers, but it’ll be at the end of this Letter From The Editor part. Here are the hip happenings on Newgrounds!

Why do you draw your style?
@AM-ZYNK is curious about other artists' styles for their art. @blind3dna is still looking for her own style. @ZenonRetna bases his drawings off of cartoons he grew up watching and by drawing on 8 x 11 paper, the limited space adds a challenge.
please check out my new game!
@Pciphidic has released a new game entitled Burgerguy Adventure: Chapter One. You can play it below! Check out some of their other games below as well!
@YendorNG
YendorNG has been on Newgrounds since March 2022, in that short time he has made himself known in the Audio Portal, judging the Poetry Slam and the revival of the Treasure Hunt. He has attended multiple meetups including the upcoming SHORT SHORT FEST 2024. Thank you YendorNG for all you've done for the site and the memories you have made with multiple Newgrounds members!

PIC OF THE WEEK
Tell me your favorite music genre and I'll describe something about you!
@TheMusicalManiac is going to use her mystical powers to determine who you are by the genre of music you listen to. She’s been pretty accurate. Share your favorite genre and she’ll determine who you are!
Small life update!
@stupidvampire has been going through living conditions hell. The public transportation was in a small forest town and not in a major city, plus it was only for college students. The landlord messed up his lease so the first month he was living with an animal hoarder. The public transportation situation made getting a job hard. With no job, no money, which meant he was serviced with a “Pay or Leave” notice. Luckily a friend on Discord has helped them with a place to live. They’re still open to doing art commissions. Check out his works below!

This issue came out a little late on Patreon, I apologize for that. I’ve been hard at work at my day job and by night I’ve been working on the Newgrounds History section. My calendar tends to get bloated during the Summer. I can’t wait for Fall to finally get here and the Spooky Month! See you all next week with a larger issue of The Tank Tribune!
