$40K Book 13 Kickstarter update — LAUNDRY JOYCE and LAUNDRY DOROTHY magnets!

Dumbing of Age Book 13 Kickstarter update!

We’ve hit $40k!  And as marked and promised, we’ve got new LAUNDRY JOYCE, LAUNDRY DOROTHY, and… LAUNDRY JOYCE AND DOROTHY MAGNET tiers!  Pledge for just one!  Pledge for just the other!  Pledge for both together!  (why one and not the other, really)

They’re each 2″x4″ and demand a home on your refrigerator.  Want three magnets of your choice (plus the free Lucy magnet) from this Kickstarter?  Pledge for the PICK THREE MAGNETS tier!  Want five magnets of your choice (plus the free Lucy magnet) from this Kickstarter?  Pledge for… yes, PICK FIVE MAGNETS, that’s the tier, it’s in the name.

and now that there’s more than five non-lucy magnets, that tier finally makes sense

Want them all?  Well, that’s what we’ve got COMPLETE MAGNET POWER tiers for.

Next up: SOMEBODY™ at $45k!

I’m just trying to narrow it down to who’s next, is all.

pledge today

Book 13 Kickstarter surprise magnet update: SAL!

Posted In: Blog

SURPRISE SAL MAGNET

It’s that time again!  It’s… $37,944 o’clock!  This Kickstarter campaign’s sixth magnet is SAL!  Just regular ol’ kick-ass SAL!  She’s gonna be about 2″x4″ and you can have her tucked inside your book (along with your free Lucy magnet) if you pledge for the SAL MAGNET tier!

You can also decide to choose her amongst your curated selection of magnets if you go in for either the PICK THREE or PICK FIVE MAGNETs tiers, and of course she’s included if you go all-in for COMPLETE MAGNET POWER!

Next up at $40K, we unlock LAUNDRY DOROTHY and LAUNDRY JOYCE!  And there’s probably…. four other magnets past them, at some point.  WE’LL SEE.

pledge today or whatever

Dumbing of Age Book 13 Kickstarter update!

It’s true!  We’ve passed $35K, so if you pledge for any tier that involves you getting mailed something (basically everything except the DIGITAL ONLY tiers), you now get a FREE LUCY MAGNET!  I’ll tuck that magnet right into your Book 13 or stamped envelope!

If you pledge only for a PDF, my apologies, but I can’t fit a magnet in there.  Everyone else, though!  They’ll get one.

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

by David M Willis on April 8, 2024 at 9:00 pm
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!

This is a sad one, Pete Knifton has died. Long my pick for “artist I’d give another go at Transformers if someone was crazy enough to give me that power” as he was great. Unfortunately his work was confined to the Earthforce stories so he was never very well known but I really rate him. Thanks Pete
Pete Knifton’s absolutely epic opening to Cry Wolf! featuring the Mayhem Pretenders terrorising poor Needlenose
It really wasn’t Needlenose’s day as he meets a very atmospheric Carnivac
A super cool Decepticon disagreement from Bad Guy’s Ball. Love MegatRon yanking someone’s arm off!
Few artists actually made the Combiners look huge and imposing but Knifton really delivered with this spooky shot of a replacement Devastator under construction

Some of you will know Pete from his work on later transformers marvel UK comics. I remember those issues but also was a bit of a Blood Bowl fan as a kid. Sad to hear of his passing.

So ... pretty much everyone in the administration that's been in and out of the White House since construction began is going to die choking on their own blood someday? Neat!

Seeing the original page for this panel has completely recontextualized it for me. I thought we were looking at the sky! But look at those tiny imperceptible running dudes in the background -- this is actually a birds-eye view from behind the aerial battle. Those aren't clouds, they're explosions.
