Posted In: Blog

Reminding Myself That Despite What That Sign on the Highway Says, Hell Isn’t Real will collect “Year Fourteen,” spanning the four storylines that start on August 16, 2023, and complete on August 16, 2024. This includes new commentary, behind-the-scenes artwork, rejected/unused strips, and piles of new character designs into a 220-page tome with luxurious glossy paper all bound up into a sturdy, full-color presentation.   It’s fancy!   There’s 24 new Patreon bonus strips collected!  And, as always, there’s a buncha character magnets you can grab along the way.

plus tariffs, lots of tariffs

There are two character magnets you can pledge for right off the bat, and this year they’re SAL and DANNY! Get just Sal+Book! Get just Danny+Book! Get both Danny and Sal+Book! All things are possible. And if/when we reach $30K, we unlock DOROTHY MAGNETS FOR EVERYBODY who pledges for mailable goods!

Here’s to 30 days of me being on an adrenaline high as I run this thing while the world falls apart. Phew!

Second Patreon bonus strip for March 2025 — BJ CAT

by David M Willis on April 6, 2025 at 12:07 pm
Posted In: Blog

Every month at the Dumbing of Age Patreon there’s two new exclusive bonus strips — one that patrons get to vote on, and another that’s my choice!  This month’s second bonus strip is about BJ CAT, because I already drew several new backgrounds today and I deserve a break.  Check out this strip and the backlog of hundreds of previous bonus strips at the Dumbing of Age Patreon!

Also, if you pledge $5 or more per month, you can read tomorrow’s strip a full day-and-five-minutes early, every single dang night! You’d be reading tomorrow’s strip right now!

The Other Patreon: Joyce

I have a NSFW Patreon, did you know? Usually it’s just shitposting naked people, and today that meant… JOYCE.  Not 100% naked, ‘cuz she’s got her glasses and watch on, but, you know.  Naked.  Naked and happy!

Why?  Because it’s just time?  Because I’m random and know no tasteful bounds?  Because healthcare in this dumbass country is hella expensive????  one of those, probably

anyway, you’ve heard joe contemplate joyce’s “brains,” well here they are

Science fiction is basically about naming things after real astronomy which is basically about naming things after Roman mythology which is basically about pretending that you named things from Greek mythology which is about straightforwardly describing the gods on a real mountain you can hike to

Thinking about forbidden intersections
A photo from a math book: a chain of two over lapping triangles where one triangle is also overlapping a line. These are simplicial complexes (triangle = 2-simplex, line = 1-simplex). reads: the sort of intersections that are not (italicized) allowed.

While stretch and squash has always been harder with CGI animation (especially in the 90's), leading to animation that's very stiff in SOME ways, check out how Quickstrike jerks forward a hair before jerking himself back. Skilled animators worked on Beast Wars and it shows, despite the limitations.

I really want y'all to take this in if you haven't seen BW. The amount of expression Mainframe could get out of some *incredibly* inhuman faces, mixed with body language, is astounding even today.
