Patreon bonus strip for JANUARY 2026 — JENNIFER

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, folks voted for more JENNIFER!

Site is new!

*clicks New Post, gets overwhelmed with extremely-fancy post-creator thinger* oh jeez it is new

Anyway, hello! Welcome to New Site! If the DNS has caught up with you. If it hasn’t, then you’re not reading this!

Let’s start out by saying I Hate New Things. If I could, I would’ve continued running the old site until I was a billion years old, held together by tape (both me and the site), finally beginning to write the characters’ sophomore year. But the old site was built on ComicPress, which is a WordPress plugin that doesn’t exist anymore. And the more it doesn’t exist, the more shit starts falling apart! AND IT WAS STILL WORKING, TECHNICALLY! Which I would bring up every time Kevin and Chuck would say, uh, hey, you need a new site built on something that currently exists and is supported. And I’d point out my right bottom wisdom tooth, which my dentist has been advising me remove for like five years now because it’s crumbling, it’s really just a clump of shards, BUT IT DOESN’T HURT YET, so until then I’m keeping it. (The dentist has given up asking me to remove it.)

But, like, fine. Make a new site. Do it. But make it as much like the old site as possible, because, again, I Hate New Things. And by god, they did their best to appease my mad whims. Sure, some stuff needs to be sorted, still. They and me are working on that when we find things to trim. So it looks kinda mostly like the old site! And, most importantly, it’s not built on increasingly soggy and moldy cardboard. This cardboard is FRESH, yo.

back end’s kinda nuts, though

hate new things

btw now that comicpress is gone the site can finally update to WordPress v6.9 which is, say it:

Second Patreon bonus strip for DECEMBER 2025 — HUMAN SKULL

The Other Patreon: Joyce/Dorothy rough draft!

I have a NSFW Patreon, did you know? And while usually it’s just shitposting naked people, sometimes I show stuff from my hard drive of things I’ve drawn that later got repurposed into Slipshine pages!  And this is one of them.  For the last day of 2025, we’ve got an earlier Joyce/Dorothy drawing that later got reinked/colored differently in “Friend of Dorothy (THE BIGGEST)”!  Plus, see the step-by-step pencils and reworkings that got this drawing to where it ended up, before it got finished differently and canonized as a part of a lights-out scene. turning a big dial that says “fluids” on it and constantly looking back at the audience for approval like a contestant on the price is right
