Book 13 Kickstarter FUNDED! Also: DERBY AMAZI-GIRL magnet!

Posted In: Blog

The Dumbing of Age Book 13 Kickstarter has blown past $25K, despite the moon eating and then pooping the sun, and that means we’ve both funded and reached our first stretch goal!  There’s now a DERBY AMAZI-GIRL MAGNET tier, and that gets you a 3″x4″ character magnet plus a signed Book 13!

And don’t worry if you’ve missed the four previous derby magnets: DERBY CARLA, DERBY MALAYA, DERBY SAL, and DERBY MARCIE.  There’s a tier that lets you catch up and assemble the whole team!  Plege for the DERBY TEAM MAGNET COMBO to get this year’s Derby Amazi-Girl magnet plus the four derby magnets from previous Kickstarters.

Next up: renewing WEEKEND COMIC STRIP UPDATES for another year at $30k!  And maybe there might be a surprise magnet tier bursting onto the scene, who knows.  Check your nearby cups of water.

Pledge today!

Patreon bonus strip for MARCH 2024 — DINA

by David M Willis on March 26, 2024 at 8:35 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, DINA… came in fifth, after a bunch of nominations for folks that I keep strongly hinting are currently ineligible, but YAY DINA, DINA WINS!  HERE’S A STRIP ABOUT DINA!  Read this bonus strip and hundreds of previous at the Dumbing of Age Patreon!

Also, if you pledge up to $5 or more per month, you can read TOMORROW’s strip RIGHT NOW, every day!

that a bunch of billionaires have been irreversibly brainwormed by getting addicted to a glorified chat room adds credence to my theory that spending too much time on IRC as a child acts as a powerful inoculant to the worst impulses of an escalatory group dynamic

"You're/we're toast" was not coined as a phrase until 1984's Ghostbusters, so of course this French king from 1000AD of course doesn't understand the reference. A good cartoon.

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
