Second Patreon bonus strip for April 2022 — AMBER and DINA

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!  The first one for April was about Joe, which didn’t get linked here ‘cuz we were buried in Book 11 Kickstarter Madness, but for the second bonus strip we’re getting Amber and Dina!  You can read this month’s new bonus strip and the backlog of over a hundred 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.

DUMBING OF AGE BOOK 11 KICKSTARTER

1) We’ve funded!  Book 11 is happening!

2) The first stretch goal, the addition of a Booster character magnet tier, was reached!

3) The second stretch goal, the continuing of Saturday/Sunday updates for the next year, was also reached!  Good, I don’t wanna hafta delete and then reupload my 5-month buffer into a 7-month buffer.

4) A surprise stretch goal, the unlocking of a Daisy character magnet tier, also hit today!

5) As of this writing, we’re $1k away from unlocking the next stretch goal, which is free Joyce magnets for everyone who pledges for physical goods.  Pledge for a book?  You’ll get a free Joyce magnet tucked inside.  It’s pretty rad.

6) After that is unlocking both Professor Robin and Leslie magnets!  Together!  Well, both separately and together.  Your choice.

7) More magnets thereafter.

Anyway, that’s the first 45 hours.

Dumbing of Age Book 11 crowdfunding COMMENCES!

by David M Willis on April 24, 2022 at 11:45 pm

I Excised All my Anxieties into Cartoon Characters Who Definitely Don’t Have Feelings for Each Other will collect “Year Eleven,” spanning the five storylines that start on September 10, 2020, and complete on August 26, 2021. This includes new commentary, 24 Patreon bonus strips, behind-the-scenes artwork, and new character designs into an 224-page tome with luxurious glossy paper all bound up into a sturdy presentation.   Seriously, these books are gorgeous.  Sometimes when our house gets solicitors I whip out a book to show them how pretty it is.
 
And there will be a foreword by Kendra Wells!  (They have their own Kickstarter currently running for the next three days, if you want to go check out KISS U.) 
There’s two character magnets you can pledge for right off the bat, and they’re the ever-popular Carla and Dina!  Get just Carla+Book!  Get just Dina+Book!  Get both Dina and Carla+Book!  All things are possible.  And if/when we reach $35K, we unlock JOYCE FOR EVERYBODY!  huzzah  I know, I know, this is all according to script, you get it.  But I gotta say it anyway.
Here’s to 30 days of me being on an adrenaline high as I run this thing.  Phew!
