The Other Patreon: Joyce/Joe and non-chicken fingering

by David M Willis on May 15, 2025 at 10:20 pm
Posted In: Blog

I have a NSFW Patreon, did you know? And while usually it’s just shitposting naked people, sometimes once in a blue moon something canonical pops up. Not a story. But an image, a snapshot of something that probably actually happened.  Like the culmination of Joyce and Joe’s sweatervest date!  Anyway, I drew some manual stimulation, while certain other currently-BSODing folks might be dreaming of womanual stimulation.

And also, separately, I animated it.  That’s what I went to college for!  May as well put that skill to use.

(My Bluesky feed has a similarly-cropped sneak peek at what THAT looks like)

Second Patreon bonus strip for April 2025 — ROBIN

by David M Willis on May 7, 2025 at 9:32 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’s second bonus strip is… an unused strip starring ROBIN that would’ve run April 16, but dropped because it did stuff to narrative flow.  Check out this strip and the backlog of 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 could be reading tomorrow’s strip right now!

Book 14 Kickstarter $60k update: THE DREAMHORSE MAGNET tier unlocked! Final hours!

by David M Willis on May 6, 2025 at 12:28 pm
Posted In: Uncategorized

With 11 hours left in the Dumbing of Age Book 14 Kickstarter, we’ve unlocked the thirteenth magnet and final stretch goal at $60K!  That’s right, it’s THE (not homoerotic at all) DREAMHORSE magnet!  Clocking in at a relatively enormous 5.5″x5″ size!  (that’s 14cmx12.7cm for all you still-free-world people)

Pledge at THE DREAMHORSE MAGNET tier to get a The Dreamhorse magnet along with your book!   (And don’t forget you get a free DOROTHY magnet in there too!)  Or if you’re aiming for The Dreamhorse plus two or four other magnets of your choosing, huzzah, there’s the PICK THREE or PICK FIVE MAGNETS tiers!  And if you want all of them unlocked during this campaign?  Well, there’s a few tiers that hand you COMPLETE MAGNET POWER!

That’s it!  That’s the final update before… THE END!

Finish line at 11:45pm Eastern tonight!

$55K Book 14 Kickstarter update: LIPSYNCING LUCY MAGNET tier unlocked!

by David M Willis on May 4, 2025 at 9:55 am
Posted In: Blog

Three days left in the Dumbing of Age Book 14 Kickstarter, and BOOM!  The Lipsyncing Lucy magnet is unlocked at $55k!  Pledge at the LIPSYNCING LUCY MAGNET tier to get a Lucy magnet along with your book!   (And don’t forget you get a free DOROTHY magnet in there too!)  Or if you’re aiming for Lucy plus two or four other magnets of your choosing, huzzah, there’s the PICK THREE or PICK FIVE MAGNETS tiers!  And if you want all of them unlocked during this campaign?  Well, there’s a few tiers that hand you COMPLETE MAGNET POWER!

Unlocking next at $60K is… the final, thirteenth magnet: THE DREAMHORSE!  It’ll be 5.5″x5″ which would be… probably definitely the largest magnet I’ve ever done.  It won’t be to exact scale with the others, mind you, since that magnet’d be like a foot tall and wouldn’t fit in a book, much less a stamped envelope, but it’ll be to scale with… your BJ Cat magnet, if you have that one.

And just under three days remaining!  This thing shuts down Tuesday night.

While stretch and squash has always been harder with CGI animation (especially in the 90's), leading to animation that's very stiff in SOME ways, check out how Quickstrike jerks forward a hair before jerking himself back. Skilled animators worked on Beast Wars and it shows, despite the limitations.

I really want y'all to take this in if you haven't seen BW. The amount of expression Mainframe could get out of some *incredibly* inhuman faces, mixed with body language, is astounding even today.

“last fall I had this idea for a zine about Dilbert quitting his job and trying to learn to be happy and coming to terms with the fact that he’s trans actually” (posted 4/18/2022)
A sketch of Dilbert sitting at his desk, looking worn out. “There used to be a light inside of me,” he thinks, “when did I let this place snuff it out?”
Dilbert, now with slightly longer hair, eyeliner, and earrings, is putting on a scarf. After wrapping it around her neck, it springs up like her tie did in the comics. She smiles, her mouth visible for the first time.

very into these inconvenient, extremely long and pointy shoes that spread across europe in the 14th century and made everyone so horny and effeminate that the church went full on moral panic mode and a bunch of kings made them illegal!!! also everyone got bunions
They were a controversial fashion and faced criticism from several quarters. In 1368, Charles V of France issued an edict banning their construction and use in Paris. An English poem from 1388 complained that men were unable to kneel in prayer because their toes were too long.[37] The c. 1440 morality play Castle of Perseverance includes the footwear in the

Sometimes I forget I have an original Sunstreaker! During Shortpacked! times I was gifted a giant pile of G1 from a fan, and this guy has trouble finding purchase in my memory. The tooling was lost/destroyed decades ago, so he's never been reissued.
