Hey there everyone, DeepRising here with the Weekly Newsletter and Weekly Topic competition.
You’ll be thrilled to hear that this week’s Topic is Halloween. But more about that later!
We had a great response to last week's topic “The Giraffe”, and a selection of our favorite winning entries are coming up.
First, here's some up to the minute news about new Sudomemo merchandise coming soon.
You'll be excited to hear that we're working on making Sudomemo plushies for the merchandise shop. And we'll need enough people to put a $1 deposit down to make it happen!
Why not extend your soft toy collection with a Sudomemo plushie. They're soft, furry and fun, and would also make great character drawing aids.
So get your dollar at the ready. It'll be well worth it!
And next, here’s a word about our ongoing fund raising activities.
Here at Sudomemo our fundraising activities reflect the quality of services we can provide.
We want to develop more educational content, as well as continued improvements and upgrades to our infrastructure.
With more funding we would be able to do more for the community and also ensure a healthier future for the site.
If you would like to make a donation then Sudomemo Patreon is the way to go! It will really help with the upkeep and running of Sudomemo, and there’s loads of special rewards to enjoy.
Here's the link to our Sudomemo Patreon site:

And now, our winning Flipnotes from last week’s Topic “The Giraffe“.
Well done to everyone who entered.
In the first of our Topic winning Flipnotes this week, Meggo wrestles with the astonishing, yet profound and heartfelt belief that in fact…. GIRAFFES ARE NOT REAL!!!
Inspired by a late night chat with friends, the creator’s self discursive dialogue is set with the backdrop of an after dark city park scene. Where, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, the determination of their own truth holds strong!
In our next Topic winning entry, by Sonen10, when drawing a tricky subject, like a giraffe, using your phone for a visual reference is an extremely useful technique.
However, if it runs out of juice disaster could strike ... .Wherever you may be sitting at the time!
Shebby greatly impressed us with this wonderful collection of expertly drawn Giraffe Cartoon Characters.
Selected from the work of Disney, Cartoon Network, and Hasbro Entertainment, the drawings are spot-on likenesses, and rendered beautifully with color, shade, and characterful flare!
After munching hungrily on a treetop apple, a giraffe’s neck grows to astronomical proportions in this delightful, winning Flipnote animation created by captole_11.
That’s one tasty way to reach for the stars!
And that concludes this week’s winners. Now it’s time for our much anticipated Halloween Topic.
Happy Spook-tober everyone. Halloween has finally arrived and we’re trembling with excitement!
It’s the time of year for ghosts and ghoulies, witches and monsters, jack-o-lanterns, trick or treating, along with a host of other joyful, nail biting traditions. And we’re gleefully joining in the celebrations with this ever popular hair-raising topic theme.
Scare us rigid with a creepy, spine tingling topic entry for this terrifying time of year!
It could be about any aspect of Halloween you like. Or, in fact, anything scary at all!
How about a terrifying tale, a haunted MV, a cartoon monster mash-up, a movie inspired jump-scare, or why not send your OCs trick or treating for some super mischievous Halloween shenanigans?
In the darkness of All Hallows' Eve, the horror-struck choice is ultimately yours…….”Mwa, ha, harrrrrr!!!”
We really love the way you're all so creative with these topics and look forward to seeing the Flipnotes you create for them.
Make sure to post your entries to the Weekly Topic channel Weekly Topic - Halloween 2025 and the deadline for your entries is November the 2nd (12pm EST / 4pm GMT).
We would also encourage you to add a description to your Flipnotes, to highlight any details you’d like us to feature in our winner reviews.
Tip: The frame you save your Flipnote on will become the thumbnail, so choose your favorite or add a title page!
Keep on Flipnoting and the best of luck with your entries.
