It’s once again that time of year where I make my annual pilgrimage back to Bloomington, Indiana, where all the Dumbing of Age magic fictionally happens! Mark Friday, October 12 on your calendars. And, as always, you can find me at Vintage Phoenix Comics, from 5-7pm. I’ll bring books! I’ll bring magnets! I’ll bring an insatiable desire to rack up as many gifts from the “Cat Statue” Pokestop as I can!

and maybe i’ll get to visit that new computer science building that i drew into the strip before it was completed in real life i dunno

I’ll be at CXC 2018 this weekend!

This Saturday and Sunday, I’m gonna be at Cartoon Crossroads Columbus (CXC) here in my very own hometown of Columbus, Ohio. It’s an annual comics convention held at the library downtown! And, like, one of those real comics conventions, with actual comics people there. There’s bigtime comic book folks this year, like Brian Michael Bendis and Matt Fraction, and also us webcomic folks are represented, like Melanie Gillman, Ngozi Ukazu, and Blue Delliquanti. And also, crazily, announced at the last minute is special guest Olivia Jaimes, the enigmatic new artist behind the newspaper strip Nancy. She’s gonna have a late Sunday panel and we don’t even know who she really is, it’s exciting!

It’s also a incredibly nice-looking location, with lots of windows. 90% windows. I mean, it’s a library. An amazingly-nice library. I was there a few hours last year and it was just… cozy.

Anyway, I’ll be there! I’ll be at table 6! (It’s first thing on the right hand side, can’t miss me.) I’ll have books and magnets and probably some prints.

ADMISSION IS FREE

because it’s in a library

Dumbing of Age SIX BOOK COMBO is now available in the online store!

There’s six Dumbing of Age books, and now you can get them all at once for a reduced price! Just log on over to the Dumbing of Age online store, and you’ll find the six-book combo listed there. Get the whole thing (so far) at once! It’ll all come in two padded flat-rate envelopes, three books per! For an extra $10 I will doodle/autograph inside them all!

For those of you overseas, there’s a little extra bonus for you. International shipping is way expensive, especially for TWO packages full of large heavy-ass books, so I’ve eaten the portion of the shipping costs. It’s down $15 if you live in Mexico/Canada, and down $20 to everywhere else! So hop on that. Consider it a “jeebus yes you bought six whole dang books from across the globe” special rebate. Don’t forget you can add a Dina magnet to your order!

don’t worry i will still love you if you only get one or two books

Excuse me, would you like to hear more about Slipshine?

Did you know that I’ve drawn nine NSFW stories for Slipshine? And that they’re all canon? Did you know I’ve also drawn 32 stand-alone pages of NSFW art to accompany them? Just checking, because my overlords would really like you to know, just in case you didn’t!

Here’s a quick run-down of most of them!:

Walky Performs A Sex: The original! Dorothy and Walky come in from the rain.

Mask Or No Mask: Amazi-Girl has a very good day with Danny.

Finally: Billie and Ruth relieve that building sexual tension like a volcano from Hell.

Head of the Class: Sal and Jason, probably!

Tales of Sinterest: An anthology! Includes Roz, Sayid, and more.

To the End of the Line: Originally titled “Upside-Down on a Grappling Hook.” You fill in the rest.

Keep It Clean: Whoops it’s Billie and Ruth again, but in the shower?????

…and I’m in the middle of doing a Joe/Malaya one. Need to finish that one up, I’m like four pages in. And one TBD for, what, August? *checks* Yeah, August. I’ll keep you posted.

A Slipshine membership gets you access to all of them, plus all the other stand-alone pages!

And now you all are fully informed. Carry on.
