by David M Willis on April 14, 2025 at 10:21 am
Posted In: Blog

The Dumbing of Age Book 14 Kickstarter is at $41,752! And you know what that means: absolutely nothing!!!! But we’re surprise-revealing the EXERMACISES SARAH magnet anyway!

Pledge at the EXERMACISES SARAH MAGNET tier to get just Sarah (plus the free Dorothy magnet), or go all-in at one of the COMPLETE MAGNET POWER tiers and consider her and all other unlocked magnets automatically yours! Want more than just one magnet but less than the whole roster? We got PICK THREE and PICK FIVE MAGNETS tiers available for you folks.\

Still unlocking at $45K: PAJAMAS DINA MAGNET tier! And some more after that, probably!

The Dumbing of Age Book 14 Kickstarter has passed $40K, which means: Double magnet unlocking! The HALLOWEEN BILLIE and HALLOWEEN RUTH magnet tiers are now available!

And, of course, if you went all-in on a COMPLETE MAGNET POWER tier, consider them added to your pile.

Don’t want the whole run, but want a choice of three magnets? Of five magnets? Then the PICK THREE and PICK FIVE magnet tiers are there for you.

Scheduled next is the PAJAMAS DINA magnet at $45k! Plus, you know, sudden surprise magnets may occur. (well, a surprise if you don’t recognize distinctive silhouettes) And even more TBA!

by David M Willis on April 8, 2025 at 10:09 am
Posted In: Blog

It’s morning of the second day of the Dumbing of Age Book 14 Kickstarter!  Let’s juice things up with a SUDDEN MAGNET REVEAL: #Dranks Joyce!

Pledge at the #DRANKS JOYCE MAGNET tier to get just Joyce (plus the free Dorothy magnet), or go all-in at one of the COMPLETE MAGNET POWER tiers and consider her automatically yours along with every other new magnet revealed by the end of this campaign!

Up next: HALLOWEEN BILLIE and HALLOWEEN RUTH unlock at $40K, and also some other magnets are waiting in the wings.

Book 14 Kickstarter update: FREE DOROTHY MAGNETS unlocked!

by David M Willis on April 7, 2025 at 10:54 pm
Posted In: Blog

As the Dumbing of Age Book 14 Kickstarter completes its first day, we’ve hit a second stretch goal: FREE DOROTHY MAGNETS for everyone!!! (who pledges for something I snail-mail to you) Pledge for a book, there’ll be a Dorothy magnet in there, no extra charge! Pledge for anything that’s not just PDFs, that’s a free Dorothy magnet! Pretty rad.

The $30K stretch goal spot used to belong to the perennial “extend weekend comic strip updates for another year” thing, but…. look, my buffer’s out a whole-ass year. 365 days. The stretch goal of “I’ll keep updating 7 days a week instead of 5” is just kind of ridiculous on the face of it. So out it went! And I skooshed up the Free Magnet stretch goal to take its usual spot.

Next up: HALLOWEEN BILLIE and HALLOWEEN RUTH magnets at $40K, with probably a surprise magnet reveal along the way, to keep us on our toes.

The plantation burning reminds me of when the residential school burnt down in Shubenacadie. I was very young. Not understanding why we were all there watching a scary looking building burning. Cars lined up all over both sides of the road. It seemed like the entire rez population (1)
