I read this today and got a kick out of it so I thought I would share it here too for anyone interested. If I screw up the order or miss a page I'm not going to bother fixing it because you can probably find it yourself.

>>150934136Soild 7/10 I'd say. I wonder if it'll keep going with more issues in the future.
>>150934223>Pringus McDingus jab in the first issueJeez, is this actually official?
This has a more pleasant version of the vibe I got reading old collections of underground comix in my local library when I was young. Are we thinking there’s going to be a physical release of this? The more rep Newgrounds has outside of being the site that produced Zach Hadel the better.
>every single joke is just funny faces or them being butthurt over something>elitist attitudes towards all indie stuff that isn’t seen as “epic based newgrounds-core” shit (monkey wrench, furry pilots, college animators)>shameless cocksucking of Zach and Smiling Friends (totally not parasocial behavior)The only good thing in this entire thing is the comic shitting on LSMark
>>150934232Sweet protip. I'll keep it in mind when I want to dodge some criticism.>>150934489Damn those are some sweet sponsorships. Truly bringing together the world.
>>150934781I kinda agree with the 2nd one but>shameless cocksucking of Zach and Smiling Friends (totally not parasocial behavior)One of the first few pages is a dig at SF, and the rest is filled with similar digs at Zach and other Oneyplays people.
>>150934405>that shot at the furry fail girl "pilot" from last monthjej
>>150934136Is this actually a printed fanzine? or just some online thing?
>>150934405this is the most accurate portrayal of how much newgrounds has changed ive seen so far
This entire zine feels written by that crying Wojak wearing that smug mask.Just a bunch of unfunny complaints all targeted at people who actually make shit instead of being whiney bitchbabies
Huh what's this from? Is it a Newgrounds procured zine?
>>150934870>Is this actually a printed fanzine? or just some online thing?never mind... I just found it on Newgrounds... I keep forgetting that Newgrounds even exists.
>>150934908>’asexual Amazon Kindle’
sorry nobody gives a shit about ratbasterdz, maybe try advertising your cartoon to people instead of shitting on everyone else above you.
>>150934914>Just a bunch of unfunny complaints all targeted at people who actually make shit instead of being whiney bitchbabiesThis is a funny post, considering that they actually DID get together to make an art project while (You) have made nothing except this whiny post on 4chan's Disney TV cartoons and furry asses discussion board.
>>150934136It's cool how some of the Bridge Kids people worked on this. It's bitter, but that's fine.
>>150934964If I had a nickel for every time someone made a cartoon called "Rat Bastard" that flopped, I'd have two nickels.
>were newgrounds, we’re not like other TERRIBLE sites for creators, this is the REAL place for artistic freedom>except if you don’t fit into our exact tastes then fuck you we hate you and want you to die
>>150934992Like it's the Incomparable Atuk of animation kek
Half of this made me laugh IRL.
>>150934249>that Mark loool
>>150935053Why are you posting news reports about dead teenagers on /co/?
>>150935006I made a really intentionally unfunny cartoon about garfield that won me daily 3rd place a while back. Tom even commented on it saying he liked intentionally unfunny cartoons. Quality has always come second place on the site.
>>150935091Life just finds a way to correct itself.
>>150935090If there’s anything NG users love it’s 12,000 layers of irony to mask any sincere thought they could ever have. Their biggest fear is being seen as cringe and they’d rather shit on other artists than actually make something that isn’t just funny faces and ironic jokes.
what's the lucky boy jab?
>>150934752I'm not sure. The description on the original art post says it's a new bimonthly zine but it shares a tag from a news post about a parody jam competition where you take the piss out of Newgrounds. I'm going to rule it as a one-off until proven otherwise.
>>150935053>>150935091What does this have to do with Bluesky?
>>150935162The main character of the comic said he was a producer, so maybe it's about BrandyBuizel? IDK, I've never watched Lucky Boy
do people hate the jack skelengton guy who comments on their work?
>>150934195>entire comic drawn because they didn’t like a collab that was probably just seen as a fun side project by everyone involvedWow you got ‘em and definitely don’t look like a petty cunt
>150935053>150935091>I made a thread for my off topic faggotry but barely anyone is replying, what do I do?>I know! I'll go into a thread that IS on topic and start spamming it there too. Brilliant!
>>150934249>>150935045Wouldn't be surprised if whoever made that one lurks here.
>>150934136I came by this thread to say one thing:Lee Hardcastle doesn't have a Newgrounds page? You think that'd be a no-brainer. Stop-motion is already well received on the site (ex. My Chair) so you'd think he'd be posting on the site by now.
>>150935402Well looking at how the site treats its users perhaps it’s best if artists stay away.
>>150935090give us a link to it anon
>>150935510portal/view/620095I was wrong about what Tom said, but his was the first comment on my cartoon
>>150934249As a NG Supporter, I just don't use Takeover Tuesday at all. Just let me go to the Featured Movies.Also FUCK it's Takeover Tuesday again
Close enough, welcome back street fighter chode
there's a lot of dick in this zine
>>150934312Damn...
Usually zines aren't meant to be solely repositories for butthurt whining but i can tell this is an avant-garde project
>>150934136WHERES THE ONE ABOUT TELEBUBBY FUNLAND
>>150934232holy shit its doomguy
>>150934136I came here for bitches but all I got was bitching, boooooring
All of these are pathetic and self-referencial. I expected some short comics with a theme or something.
This was fucking shit, it's just 46 pages of people being asshurt that they haven't been able to find the level of success as the creators they're shitting o- I mean uh, "criticizing".>>150934473Look, I agree that the view of criticism in general has declined in the recent times. But this entire thing is like the text book example of how to not do it. No one is going to look at this and go:>Wow they're right, Newgrounds isn't what Newgrounds used to be and the modern indie animation community is shitThey're going to go:>Wow, is that someone's OC killing Charlie from Smiling Friends? That's fucking gay lolThe only people that need to be taken down a peg is everyone involved in this humiliation ritual, but that would imply that these pathetic retards haven't reached rock bottom to begin with.
>>150934136That cover makes me super horny.
>>150936471youre entirely correcthowever i still found it funnythe seethe and butthurt fuels my biggest of laffs
Well that was a waste of time. Just a bunch of whiny edgy bitching. But at least the GF on the cover is hot.
>>150934473So basically, this entire thing is shitting on the idea of toxic positivity within the modern art circle and animators hopping on trends, where popular figures are praised for being popular. There also seems to be a lot of focus on the abundance of reanimated collabs and pilots.Gotta say, this is the exact opposite of what you would expect from an NG zine, I laughed throughout at the sheer ridiculousness.However, to whoever planted the seed, I will be jerking off to this GF tonight. Thanks >>150934136
>>150934257Man, people really have a bone to pick with SCAD, huh?
ALIEN POMINID
>>150937131good running gag that made me lol
I enjoyed it.
Honestly the art was really good and I enjoyed a lot of the jokes but I REALLY wish half of the space wasn't wasted on talking about recent animated pilots. This isn't a fucking Smiling Friends zine. I wanted to see stuff about old Newgrounds.
>>150934183True
>>150936601Yeah pretty much. It also highlights the rampant egotism in the independent scene while still seeking for validation from the "legit" studios.>I will be jerking off to this GF tonight.I wanted to ask for a text less version but I was too scared to ask.
fun stuff
I liked it. It's nice to see some pushback against the pilot and self-glazory I've been seeing on the site lately.I don't really get how you'd be mad over it unless you're a cocksucker for "indie" or Smiling Friends.
>Animators seething about how hard it is to make animations and how newfags shit up everything.Eh. It alright, I'm surrounded by fags who spout this nonstop so a whole zeen full of it just feels like everyone is whining.Much prefer the ART FOLKS MAG they posted recently. Just artists drawing good stuff.
>>150934329Can I order fun magazines like this IRL?The ones I see in stores are usually just Times or Martha Stewart.
>>1509394091992? are they pretending this is old?
>46 pages of whiny vitriollol. lmao.
>>150934376kek fukin BRUTAL
>>150934971Took me 30 seconds to make a post calling them losers while it took them at least an hour each to come up with their brilliant masterwork of moaning.
>>150934136This is supposed to be a physical thing that you can buy at any local bookstore in entire US or what?
>>150937010They also hid an SVA in there
>>150937778>the rampant egotismI see this more from Newgrounds diehards than anybody making a "pilot" on YouTube. Literally all of these people think they're hot shit
>>150934282>frutigerlandman people really hate that pilot with the y2k animal girls with square eyes huh
>>150943611Wastlandia wasn't reallyY2k or Frutiger so I think they're thinking of other trends among newer online animators. Which is rich of Newgrounds users, considering that all of the shit they make is also based on trends and looks exactly the fucking same.Every popular Newgrounds artist is just>Wow you like anime, Ren and Stimpy, video games and edgy humor? Me too!
>>150934971I agree that in general complaints about production of shit are worse value than the actual production of shit but still, you understand how much this zine is also those complaints vs the actual things they're complaining about, right?
>>150939409I was finding it weird that this and that were coming out the same time, but it makes more sense seeing what this actually is>>150939669yeah the gimmick is it's just artists drawing pin-ups themed after retro fashion
>>150943651The youtuber that made Wastelandia first started going viral with videos talking about Fruitger Aero etc, I assumed that was the connection there
>>150943388>a physical thing that you can buyThat would be cool but it'd probably have to be printed in black & white on the cheapest paper imaginable.
>>150937010>>150943431Is there actually something to be critiqued about their courses, or are people just looking for a new scapegoat now that Calarts is getting old?
Basically this >>150936471, I don't get how people find this entertaining at all. There's no substance to any of this. You CAN make parodies and works that provide meta-commentary on others, but, still make them smart and funny you know. This is just empty moaning. Very disappointing for a site and community that used to be so inspiring to me.
>>150934136Thanks for the dump, OP, I enjoyed it.
I didn't know that Newgrounds was still around. I remember visiting the site back in the days when Flash was still relevant and they were just nothing but flash cartoons, flash games and flash videos. It was a site that was basically reliant on flash. I guess they just host videos, art and music now. Which seems like a regression. Would be nice if someone uploaded this to Archive.org, which has that sweet "flip book" embedded software: https://archive.org/details/unhip-0I thought about making my own shitty fanzine and just uploading it to archive.org. I have never decided on the topic.
i clicked for girlfriendgot a butthurt comic insteadalien pominid can get it tho
>>150946897they still host games, and all of thee above incl. new and old Flash content.They've just expanded to also include modern formats for ease of use.
>>150934914right. feels like crab in a bucket mentality for everything that has done well and come out of their website. "OH MY GOD I AM SO MUCH BETTER THAN THESE RETARDS WHY DONT AYEEEEEEEEEEEEE GET FIVE STARS AND MY TOTALLY BETTER IDEA MADE INTO A PILOT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"(its because all of you are insufferable people no one wants to work with)
>>150945167I wanna know too
>>150947512>>>150946897 (You)>they still host games, and all of thee above incl. new and old Flash content.>They've just expanded to also include modern formats for ease of use.Oh yeah. That's how little I know about the site now.
>>150934136The Newgrounds, yo!
This feels like a lot of empty yelling into the void, which is fitting for an anonymous site, but putting it all into an "official" zine reads like you've got a stick up your ass
>>150949352thats newgrounds for ya
>>150934297>my OC kills popular character LOL?>>150949383this shit is the same as that collab seething about brawl taunts
>>150934249Yeah, ugly pooners. We all know that.
>>150934489appreciated
apparently this is not the real zine, just a joke one a bunch of newgrounds creators did for fun and probably to whine
>>150934136Landlines? In Big 2025?
they're really mad at Smiling Friends success aren't they
>>150934136It was pretty good, some jokes are just funny, some stuff is so ridiculous it gets funny.
>>150934914>This entire zine feels written by that crying Wojak wearing that smug mask.Kudos, this is an extremely apt comparison.
>>150934136Based zine.That it triggered yall this bad with such low level criticism is unsurprising really.Will cop if print run
Smiling Fragilities
>>150934312God damn I want to bust my fat fucking nut deep in that alien clown
My mom always said that what you put out in the world will always come back to you and that’s why they’ll never reach the success of smiling friends. Yea, some have successful shows on YouTube but you gotta lock in and cherish the fans you got or else your envy will get you lost in the sauce.
>>150934136>>150934987I think some of the crew from Bridge Kids contributing to this zine is actually kinda raw. Because Bridge Kids became and currently IS one of the most popular indie web shows on Newgrounds and YouTube. Every new episode garners attention. But, are they still in the circle of what's being poked fun at?
>>150934136Astronomical cringe.
>>150934914That's Newgrounds. They beef with each other and bitch endlessly while acting like everyone else is the cry baby. If you criticize them, then they will pretend it's on you.
>>150951872genuine contempt framed around being hardened when these fuckers have the thinnest skin imaginable and are constantly jealous and threatened by each other
>>150940847>>150936533>>150935430You just described /co/.

>>150956772Which are you referring to. The Zeen comics, or... you know...
>>150934384blam is the best character
I saw Tom Fulp at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday.
>Waaaaaah this is too mean spirited!Fags. grow some hair on your nuts
>>150959722>comes in to complaining bitching thread>is a complaining bitch himselfAt least I didn't think about everyone else's nuts.
>>150959312Did he cut in line and act like an asshole to the cashier?
>>150934312very nice
>>150959312did he say "dude cmon i made newgrounds" after cutting in line at the register?
>>150960953"that counts for something, right?"
>>150934136Her heels are cute!
>>150934924Don't sweat it. I remember the days when Newground was pretty the YouTube of the internet before YouTube was a thing, all those great flash animations and shitposts (before that word was even a thing). I even remember the time when the place did become a hotbed of adware and pop-ups that were so abundant the place was virtually unusable at times.It's certainly managed to endure for quite some time, even if now it's kind of like twitter and often used for porn dumping.
>>150934136That's not how you spell ZINE, dumbass.

>the weird shitting on smiling friends>the weird shitting on animators who actually like creating something>the weird shitting on people making things that aren’t 100% finished whole also shitting on people who make finished shorts and pilots they just don’t likeIf you’re gonna shit in anything related to NG, maybe start with how 9/10 times a popular NG artist makes the transition to shitty let’s player or halfwit podcaster instead of ever doing their cartoons.
>>150934136What the fuck is this? This isn't charismatic!I don't see anyone having fun, I just see a bunch of people in their thirties being bitter old fucks.>>150945391>>150951978If these AREN'T some zoomers skinwalking as "the oldfags" I'd be very surprised. This feels like a soulless version of Beavis jeering at Teen Mom.
>>150955247>Bstrawberryclock>>150963150it's pronounced like that on purpose since it's just a joke zine while the real deal us yet to come later>>150960953Then give you a small scribble of Pico
>>150959312What does he buy though?
>>150952166
>>150963993Good point.However, they do take shots at fans who make OneyPlays and Game Grumps animateds supposedly "shitting up" the Newgrounds portal.
So... Is this Newgrounds thread now?
>>150965252They sort of do like the Sleepcast joke >>150934384 and all the OneyPlay garbage and Oney Ware fail in the sponsors.
>>150965951no, this is an Alien Pominid thread now
>>150934436Holy shit the Family Guy and Smiling Friends comparison is accurate
>>150967255you're not allowed to criticize Smiling Friends, nobody here should be criticizing Smiling Friends
>>150967364Why is it that the Oneyplays audience treats it like you cant say anything bad about Oney or Pebbles?
>>150967516you're only supposed to criticize Adam
>>150967516oneyfags google oneyng daily and will make reddit threads about any rando criticizing them like its a fuckin cult lol
>>150934136someone is mad their cartoon didnt bring in as big of numbers
>>150936601>this entire thing is shitting on the idea of toxic positivity within the modern art circle and animators hopping on trends, where popular figures are praised for being popularI kind of agree with this because it's pretty much the reason why nothing but slop gets made nowadays. Everyone chases trends, no one tries anything cool or different and any popular artist can shit out anything and people will just like itHowever the answer to this would be to make more stuff that you love and not care about what the zeitgeist is at the moment instead of making a whole fanzine just to bitch
>>150967516Because their primary audience is extremely cringey autistic people who use Oneyplays as a friend simulator. They genuinely believe they'd all be bros when the truth is that Zach and Chris would probably bully the shit out of them if they even found out one embarrassing thing about them.I've never seen a fanbase more blatantly act like they personally know the people they are fans of than them.
>>150934195he's literally me
>>150934136this is art i am ordering immediately
>>15093514190s style don't-give-a-fuck looks like insincerity in the 2020s.
>>150963993>>150965252>>150966709That's still kind of pathetic though because regardless of whether or not Oney is still making shit hus new stuff is actually bringing in more artists and animators to make artIt's still more pitching over "wash I don't like it so it's bad"
>>150967516Because almost every time it's just fags crying he doesnt make cartoons anymore despite moving on to other stuff. No actual criticism just "wahh why aren't you still making shitty parodies"I also imagine it makes certain anons mad that a guy who comes off like an autistic retard somehow got his life together and that upsets them>>150967756>>150968149You guys are way too upset over this
I read it all and I wish there was more variety. It is all kinda just>look at me killing this indie cartoon character! so free or something oh algoI had fun.
>>150968269I have noticed people here get way too mad about Oney and Zach specifically
>>150968322yeah, you. you reply to every thread defending these faggots up and down and justify every last bit of bullshit. you buying those nfts bro? egoraptor bad for giving up animation for lets plays but oney is ok?
>>150934136First time in a decade I saw something from Newgrounds that felt like Newgrounds. Anyone bitching about this being mean never fucking used the website.
>>150968269>oney is moving on to other stuff>*cricket chirps*comic is fucking spot on. faggot became what he said he would never become.
>>150936471
>>150934136Why is everyone butthurt over this? SF Chode is ok but you cant make fun of Oney?
>>150934136ngl it's peak.
>>150934136This captures the spirit of NG
>>150968149Oney and psychicpebbles ten years ago would be bullying the shit out of who they became today
>>150968571I don't even watch these fuckers you guys make parasocial dependencies on, but when a work has the stench of desperate "I'm not mad I'm not mad I'm totally just joking" you can't act surprised when people go "are you mad"
>>150968648geez man it's just a goofy youtube show
>>150968691I'm saying this zine has that stench
>>150968269>You guys are way too upset over thisI literally agree with you though. Their fans are parasocial as fuck.
Anyone solve the crossword?
>>150968648>"I'm not mad I'm not mad I'm totally just joking"That's Street Fighter Chode. That is literally Newgrounds at its core.
>>150968810makes sense to make fun of these fags in a similar manner. dont hate the player hate the game.
>>150934489Yo they got the kaballah to sponsor. Sweet.

>>150934376lol
>>150968392What exactly are you so upset about? Not a single thing that is brought up about them is worth this much crying, what is your issue?
>>150934376That left page is totally going to be reposted in every thread about Monkey Wrench, isn't it?
