Whenever Netflix dumps another six episodes of Transformers: War for Cybertron content on the world, Polygon has me dig up all the nerd out of it! Today I talked about the newest (and final) release, Kingdom, in which we get re-introduced to all our favorite Beast Wars folks, and particularly Ethan’s favorite and mine: Dinobot. Come read my words about robots!

Patreon bonus strip for July 2021 – Marcie!
by David M Willis on July 26, 2021 at 11:23 pm
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, patrons voted overwhelmingly for Marcie, and as a sweet bonus you also get a little Malaya. You can read this month’s new bonus strip and the backlog of literally hundreds of previous bonus strips at the Dumbing of Age Patreon!
Also, if you pledge up to $5 or more per month, you can read tomorrow’s strip a full day-and-five-minutes early, every night like clockwork!

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, my choice is a peek at Joyce’s JULIA GRAY comic strip! And Julia Gray’s R.A., who will go unnamed. You can read this month’s new bonus strip and the backlog of literally 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.
Patreon bonus strip for June 2021 – Jason!
by David M Willis on June 30, 2021 at 11:08 am
Everyone voted for Jason! But they didn’t know he was, uh, imminently due in the strip. And so I wrote this bonus strip which I couldn’t really run until today, cuzza spoilers, so here it is now! Technically still June! I win! And Jason wins. Sort of.
This bonus strip and hundreds of others can be found at the Dumbing of Age Patreon! All you need is $1 a month. Upping to $5 a month gets you early access to tomorrow’s strip every day! It’s all pretty great.
Every time I’m like “okay, no more plaid, don’t do a character in plaid again,” and every time I still end up finding reference for a plaid shirt that’ll make me go “oh that’ll look great on so-and-so” and whoops anyway here’s Joyce in plaid for this storyline. And a weirder pattern, too! Those thicker blue lines are irregular! What am I doing? I have 5-year-old twins! I don’t have time for this!
Anyway I’m told I need to write more blogs on this site, for the SEO, so that’s part of why I’m parading this art in front of you and blathering on about it. Also, I drew plaid, so APPRECIATE.
Though when it did come time to render the shirt day-to-day in the actual strip, I sure dropped the angled variation of the pattern on the pocket. Look, I have to set some boundaries for myself.
