“NEWGROUNDS SUPPORTER FEATURE - SUBMIT YOUR TAGLINES TODAY!”
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Good Morning Newgrounds! There are quite the number of collaborations happening here on Newgrounds. If you want to know more about them then check out the Calendar below. It’s been updated to include dates for all collaboration deadlines and events. Naturally The Tank Tribune will cover upcoming collabs. Instagram is looking to profit off of its creators, sneakily. The taglines at the top of each issue are now a Newgrounds Supporter Feature. I am excited to be back to writing The Tank Tribune for you. I have vacation time coming up from my day job, so I’ll be putting some more time to Newgrounds. Clock Day is coming up next week. Now, here are the hip happenings on Newgrounds!

- Post the images of the art here (you can also post to the Art portal and send the link here).

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. This week we’re taking a look at some of the games from 2006.
If a game is not loading properly for you, then install the Newgrounds Flash Player. There are instructions on how to do so. If it is still not working or you don't understand, create a thread in the Where is / How to / Help! Forum for assistance.
These weary bones have grown tired. Despite my age, I feel older than I should. I can’t operate at the workhorse levels that I used to. Stress doesn’t help either. Since I was 13 I’ve had a bad back due to scoliosis, my spine curves right at my neck. I’ve had bad knees. I’m going deaf in one ear. About ten years ago is when I had to get prescription glasses. I’m an old man trapped in whatever the hell my body is supposed to be. I’ve had to slow down my workflow because of this. I’m still dedicated to giving my all to Newgrounds. I’ll see all of you next week!
