Patreon bonus strip for MAY 2025 — CARLA

by David M Willis on May 26, 2025 at 10:45 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, folks tied their votes for CARLA and Jocelyne, and I broke the tie by choosing the one who’s not currently standing in the middle of a very-tedious-to-draw crowd.   So enjoy this strip about Carla, introduced by this preview panel of not-Carla.   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!

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.

Joyce is absolutely totally straight and just wants to hang out with her best friend, who happens to be another lady. This is normal behavior and a normal biblical quote to use that has no other context. GAL PALS

OK, I said I was going to a thread of receipts together on the guy who runs Kapow, in odder to explain why I personally would recommend not giving him your business at TFN. Starting with the original post, revealing the guy loves sharing right wing fascist stuff on LinkedIn.

Since you might think it's weird you got a like on this over a year after the fact, the director of Kapow just shared this on LinkedIn; i.imgur.com/hqQYWgO.png

This is the best review I've ever gotten on my clothes. They will make you hot and popular. Find em at rosalarian.com/shop
Text conversation that reads: 
Pink text: i just wore my pervert shirt from your site to a party last night and it was possibly the funniest conversation starter OVER AND OVER. i could have full conversations with someoen about it and then the person literally sitting on the other side of me would look over and go HEY YOUR SHIRT SAYS PERVERT?! just immaculate, best design I've ever gotten and it also scores me a whole subway bench on the train.
Black text: This is exactly the reaction I was aiming for, both at the party and on the subway
Pink text: 100% crit rate
Pink text: i was extremely popular all of a sudden
A photo of a short sleeve button up skirt that is black with the word PERVERT scrawled all over it in white handwriting
