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 answering the question: Where IS Walky?  IS he working out????  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!

Incoming: pre-launch page for Tricerahoodie Dina plushie from Makeship!

by David M Willis on May 29, 2025 at 1:47 pm
Posted In: Blog

All right, who wants a plushie Dina?

Starting June 9, Makeship will begin the Petition period for producing a Dina plushie!  What that means is, if during the 10-day Petition period at least 200 people pledge for the plushie, the plushie will be put into production!  There’s a prelaunch page there now, and you can click a button there to be notified when the Petition goes live (in about 11 days).   Just like Kickstarter, really!  We love our pre-launch pages.

I strongly believe we can make this happen.

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!

Naomi 🐺 @naomiwolf.bsky.social ⋅ 1d
a specific skill I've developed over the past ~20 years is crafting responses to emails sent to me, but intended for that other Naomi Wolf
email to me:

Our disabled son has CP and bladder spasms so urologist is recommending Botox treatments and we read your article and are concerned about the presence of mRNA in the Botox.  

Is mRNA in all brands?
How can we know if it is in there?
Is there a safe brand you recommend?

He has to have this so what do we do?

Thanks
my reply:

personally, i'd recommend you follow the advice of your doctor.  but what do i know, i'm just a random person you emailed.  I have no more formal education around botox than the author Naomi Wolf, whose advice I assume you were actually seeking.  but since you emailed me, my suggestion is that you listen to your kid's urologist, who is a trained medical professional, rather than seeking out medical advice from someone with an english degree and a history of making significant errors in her research.

best of luck!

what do you mean 'normal tools'?
Single panel cartoon in the style of Gary Larson Far side.

Hacker T. Dog, a dog puppet in a flashy shirt, pulls a goofy smile behind a table of 4 crudely made tools as his co-host, Lauren, puts her thumb and forefinger to her nose trying to stifle laughter.

Want to use rich people like me to your advantage? Incent us to help those who need it the most. Lower corp taxes for comps that pay a min of $25 per hour. Lower corp taxes if employees get stock at the same pct as the CEO. Bottom up incentives work. Dems never innovate. They bitch

The year is NOT 1984! Five years in the future, the Decepticons rule Earth, and the Autobots are a scrappy band of rebels fighting to survive - all in "A Robot's Best Friend Is His Dog," the unproduced pilot for the original Transformers animated series, brought to life at TFNation!
