Posted In: Blog

It’s CHRISTMAS SHOPPING SEASON NOW and so that means the new book is now available for purchase for everyone!  Dumbing of Age Book 8: Up Here We Can Be Garbage is here!  Seasons Tidings, Happy Holidays, etc.

let me copy-paste my webstore’s write-up down here, like a professional

This 228-page full-color book includes the entire seventh year of strips (four full storylines) from September 2017 through August 2018! There’s commentary! There’s cast bios! There’s bonus features! There’s a year’s worth of bonus strips from Patreon! There’s a Another Foreword by Jeph “butt.church” Jacques! You can also pay extra to get it doodled in and autographed, because this is America.

Book 8 and more can be found in the online store!

Character Magnet Set 4 now available in the online store!

It’s getting to be Thanksgiving-ish, meaning HOLIDAYS are soon upon us, which in turn means it’s time to throw last year’s Kickstarter magnets up on the online store!

This 12-magnet set includes Amber, Marcie, Malaya, Sal, Howard, Asma, Lucy, Billie, Ruth, Danny, Blowjob Cat, and Sierra. Most are about 4″ tall, but they vary.  I have extremely limited numbers of the Carla and Dina magnets, and you can include them (for extra moolah) for a limited time, while supplies last, etc.  There’s a selection on the order page.

You can also get all four magnet sets together in a bundle for a pretty good discount.

(yes, those are all the available exhibitor hours, i’m not skimping you)

I’ll have books and magnets and myself at Table 26!

Andor thoughts My friend also suggested they could be vapes and I wish I'd thought of that
A comic of two people (myself and my partner) watching Star Wars Andor on TV.
Me: What are those things in their front pockets? (Referring to Deirdre's imperial uniform with metal cylinders poking out of the front pockets.)
Partner: That is THE question.
Me: Maybe they're like... pens, for writing their fascy memos at double efficiency! (Deirdre frantically scribbles notes on a sheet of paper with a pen in both hands.)
Partner: No, no, no...
(A panel of Lio Partagaz unclipping the metal things and lifting them out of his pockets. In the next panel, his pants fall to the floor with a FWUMP.) 
Partner: ...it's the only way they can take their pants off.
