Doobus tried to crawl back into NG by whining at the security guards, then fighting back as they tried to drag him away. We recorded the footage and sent it off to another animator to incorporate into a cartoon.

Kitty Day has officially begun. The [KK] Mini-contest will still go on until August 17th

The literal TV-quality half hour feature Monkey Wrench: The Ghost Egg has released on Newgrounds and is now sitting at a score of 4.83/5 and won the Triple Crown. (which is Daily 1st, Weekly 1st, and Review Crew Pick)

Obviously, 99% of the NG community praised it for its amazing visuals and soundtrack and the fact that Zeurel spent many years working on it with a team of ultra-talented animators and voice actors, although some have criticised it for subpar audio mixing, (sort by score and go to the last few pages.) with some pointing to the character Shrike (who is totally not an Earthworm Jim knockoff)

According to reviewer @FoolishHyde, "[Shrike's voice] is not a pleasing voice you'll have to listen to for the whole episode." "[He] is a walking stereotype and after this cartoon, one of my least favorite characters from this rising show. How his voice constantly switches to Spanish to English mid sentence, getting angry and switching to Spanish, etc."

"Beebs was great and so were some others, however the strongest points in this cartoon were the scenes were no characters were talking [such as in the montage]."

Other complaints include the music being too quiet in the fight scene

"The mixing from the fight scenes sounded almost pathetic and underwhelming due to the sole fact that it sounded like I was hearing it from the other room"

@Sardinky

And the voices being unintelligible at times

"[The characters'] voices tend to crack or break / sound effects drown them out. For the first 3 times her name was said, I could not understand the dinosaur woman's name."

@Circusofvalues

You know, little things. Stuff that doesn't matter to a lot of people.

19th

Newgrounds went down again, and it went back up one afternoon.

20th

EBSynth animator @Goat-on-a-Stick (a blatant ripoff of Joel Haver) won their first Daily Feature. Goat appears to have joined Newgrounds less than 3 weeks ago and has started to upload their back catalog here after an already successful YouTube career with millions of views and over 150k subscribers. We in no way suspect any impersonation, Tom already knows.

21st

Not too much of a shitpost, but today's Daily winner is on the shorter side (ie. 8 seconds)

@Pop-Tart wants an explanation!

That's all for this week!
