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 voted for KAITLIN, Becky’s former roommate at her original college who was gay exactly once and then stopped that forever after she learned her lesson, probably! 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!

Next up: JACOB unlocks at $50K, LIPSYNC LUCY unlocks at $55k, and I’m announcing now there will be a THIRTEENTH magnet this year if we pass $60K, and it’s a big’un.  So big it’ll have eight legs!  To help get us there, pledge today!

Book 14 Kickstarter Good Friday update: CHRIST FALLS, DINA IS RISEN

The Dumbing of Age Book 14 Kickstarter reached the next stretch goal of $45K on Good Friday, unlocking the PAJAMAS DINA MAGNET tier!  That’s right, Christ has fallen and DINA IS RISEN.  Take that, LORD!!!!

Pledge at the PAJAMAS DINA MAGNET tier to get a Dina magnet along with your book!  (And don’t forget you get a free DOROTHY magnet in there too!)  Or if you’re aiming for Dina 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!

Up next?  Jacob, I think, at $50K.  I don’t have a silhouette for him yet.  Still trying to decide which look to go for him: exercise wear?  casual wear?  It’s a quandry!!!  But there’s a surprise magnet reveal popping up soon who’s not Jacob!  They do have a silhouette.
