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.

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 Dumbing of Age Book 14 Kickstarter has funded AND cleared the first stretch goal: The DRESS CARLA MAGNET tier is now unlocked. To get the Carla magnet, select that tier for your pledge, or go all-in for COMPLETE MAGNET POWER and consider her added to your growing bounty! Next up: FREE DOROTHY MAGNETS unlock for EVERYBODY at $30k!  Plus there’s bound to be a few other surprises dropping along the way.
