Without warning, notice, or a head's up at any time, ALL content on my YT channel was demonetized at like, 4AM today. So for those who want to help out : Patreon

Unfortunately I had to go through my channel and do a mass deleting of questionable content (which has been fine on YT for a decade), so unfortunately, if you watch there... it's not there anymore. New episodes will still be posted in the usual places, but the original series HD upgrades will be spotty from here on out.

YT generally requires 30 days before I can re-apply for partnership or get re-monetized, but hopefully they'll listen to my request. (Dawn B. is out of work due to COVID closing her job down, so I WAS supporting both of us with my work... which is tricky for any content creator to do.)

If you can, please retweet my pinned tweet on Twitter

Sometimes tweets are the only way companies listen. :(

Made a playlist on NG for those who don't want to watch stuff on FB or YT

Foamy Playlist (Current Series)

Playlist has all the current episodes from the current series. Will add new ones when they're posted here. :)

For those who haven't been keeping up, i've been working on a new character for the Foamy/Neurotically Yours series... probably a spin off though or something, if anything. Anyway...

This character went through a LOT of development (check previous posts). I worked on this character through a series of comic strips rather than doing everything behind the scenes. So I guess if you ever wondered how stuff evolves in my head. (I mean, she's COMPLETELY different from what I started with. It's madness.

Posted a series of "Character Development" comic strips recently where Foamy tweaks a potential characters appearance over a few episodes. (It's generally what I do when I add a character, but tend to just keep the comics in a sketchbook, unpublished. This time I'd figure I'd share the process a bit. So those interested, have a look, but the image below will probably be the final version of the new character... who I have no idea what to do with.

For me, I tend to have to draw a bunch of comics where the characters interact with each other prior to tossing them in a cartoon, so those will be posted over time, and hopefully she'll make her way into the series, or maybe be in a different series. Who knows.

Posted a bunch of alt style doodles with a possible new character but I generally never know how Foamy & the rest will interact with new personalities until I actually put them in the same room. :) So check out the art uploads if you're interested and be safe out there!

Yep, "Squirrels & Robots" is now on: Google Podcasts

Working on Apple, but it's taking a while.

Thanks for hangin' in there and helpin' out while I diversify from the YouTube madness :)

Good news everyone!

I did a bit of work and managed to get ALL the "Squirrels & Robots" podcasts up on Spotify

(iTunes/Apple & Others soon) Enjoy! :P

New episodes usually weekly, posted on Friday.

Initially, the podcast should be available on:

Spotify, Apple Podcast (iTunes), Google Podcasts, Breaker, Castbox, Overcast, Pocket Casts, RadioPublic

I'll update when new platforms are added :)

(Give these platforms time to approve & process the podcast) Could take a few days.

For those who follow on other platforms like YouTube, Facebook, or Twitch....

Since Youtube is being... well, Youtube, I updated the following places:

Twitch : All current series episodes of Foamy are now on Twitch (Under collections, New episodes posted a week after YT so I can scrape what ad rev I can from the platform.)

Facebook : All current series episodes of Foamy are slowly rolling out on FB and should be all available by the end of May. (I didn't want to clutter up everyone's feed with 80 episodes of Foamy in one day)

Newgrounds : All current series episodes are up on Newgrounds as well & some artwork.

Facebook : All "Squirrel & Robots" Podcasts available on FB as well as YT. 

YouTube : Starting in June/July I will be going through the process of uploading both an edited and unedited version on YouTube. Since any content with words harsher than "Damn" or "Hell" now have to be manually reviewed to determine ad suitability. (Not joking). 

Whichever version is approved for ad revenue, that is the one that will be posted. All other platforms will have unedited versions posted. (Twitch/FB haven't given me any issues with any content for the current series of Foamy) Of course I don't really get paid there. Soooo.... 

Older content on YT. Basically whatever has been reviewed will stay as is from what I've heard. HD upgrades will still be posted and have to go through manual review, but basically, if you see a classic Foamy on YT, just assume it's not generating income from here on out. Older content will probably not make it to FB or Twitch due to content. (terms of service n' such)

What about older stuff?! Eh, hopefully it'll remain up on YT, but certain episodes have already been removed for one reason or another and it'll just get worse in the next few years. I'll work on getting a Blu-Ray collection / Digital Collection together for everyone once the HD upgrades are all finished. 

BUT I HATE EDITS!?! Blame YT. Besides, I wouldn't worry too much. I can work wonders without using a single swear word. (See "Sitcom Silliness") Even without a swear it got demonetized. :P Kinda proud of that honestly. :)

Regardless, Newgrounds has always been Newgrounds (Thank God!) and stuff here will basically stay the same. So if you just watch here. No worries. Nothing will change.

Thanks for reading all this & keeping up with all this during the ups and downs :)

Like everyone else, I've been on lock down... which honestly, is like.... Tuesday for me. I kinda just stay inside and work on Foamy things, so this has been rather "normal" for me. (Kinda miss getting real food at a diner, but hey... pandemic). Hope everyone else who doesn't already live like a shut-in is doing well.

Be well. Things will get back to "normal" before we know it. :)

Other than that, for those who haven't been keeping up everywhere else, I started a Foamy podcast called "Squirrels & Robots" a few weeks ago to test the format. So far so good. It's a simple round table of squirrel talk with a robot. :P So that's a thing.

(I haven't posted them here 'cause NG isn't really a podcast platform... or is it now? idk. I just look at doodles and cartoons here.)

Anyway, back to work!

Been working lately on redrawing a bunch of characters for the Neurotically Yours series. First up was Sue Z. June, (Image posted to art). Also did a bunch of Germaine drawings, some new Foamy & Pilz-E & some Begley drawings.

(For those who don't know, the current series of Neurotically Yours is actually hand drawn, with all images first put on paper, scanned, cleaned and colored for the cartoons. Initially it's more work, but long term makes things easier) :)
