The
Dumbing of Age Book 12 Kickstarter hasn’t only just funded, we’ve also blown through the first stretch goal, which means the LIZ MAGNET tier is unlocked! Search down the list of tiers and this handy graphic on the left will alert you to where you can sign up for a Liz magnet to be included with your Book 12.
Of course, if you pledge for the PICK THREE or PICK FIVE MAGNET tiers, you can now choose Liz if you want. And you get all of the unlocked magnets if you go all-in for the COMPLETE MAGNET POWER tier! As they’re unlocked, consider them automatically yours.

The Liz magnet will be 2×4.2″ or so (to scale correctly with the other magnets) and get tucked neatly inside your book! Next up: Renewing weekend comic strip updates on the main site for the next year! That’s at $30K. A free WALKY magnet unlocks for everyone with tangible goods at $35K, and Halloween Joyce and Halloween Dorothy magnets unlock at $40K. There might also be some surprise magnet tier reveals along the way!
Her Hugs Are Traps will collect “Year Twelve,” spanning the five storylines that start on August 27, 2021, and complete on August 21, 2022. This includes new commentary, behind-the-scenes artwork, and new character designs into a 224-page tome with luxurious glossy paper all bound up into a sturdy, full-color presentation. There’s 24 new Patreon bonus strips collected! There’s a foreword by Steve Horton! And, as always, there’s a buncha character magnets you can grab along the way.
Two character magnets you can pledge for right off the bat, and this year they’re SCIENCE BECKY and SCIENCE DINA! Get just Becky+Book! Get just Dina+Book! Get both Dina and Becky+Book! All things are possible. And if/when we reach $35K, we unlock WALKY FOR EVERYBODY! huzzah I know, I know, this is all according to script, you get it. But I gotta say it anyway.
Here’s to 30 days of me being on an adrenaline high as I run this thing. Phew!
