Yesterday the Dumbing of Age Book 13 Kickstarter broke $40K, which means the LAUNDRY JOYCE and LAUNDRY DOROTHY magnet tiers were unlocked! Also, obviously, there's a LAUNDRY JOYCE AND LAUNDRY DOROTHY MAGNET tier, because, like, why would you want only one. I'm not even sure why the separate tiers exist.
Anyway! That's the update. Sadfeels

And here I was singing, “Round, round, get around, Joyce gets around.”

I thought it might be going in a different direction….

That sounds like phalluses are an invasive species

I mean, according to some, they are.

Homeschool education for the win! Can’t nothin’ go wrong with that!
IntangibleMatter
I was homeschooled for most of elementary school and rather liked it, though for me it was homeschooling due to Neurodivergent Parent School Trauma rather than homeschooling because of “those damn wokes”.
S.R.
Homeschooling gets a bad rap because of the conservative types who misuse it as a control tool. It can work out really well for some people, generally if it’s done for reasons like “I was miserable in school and want my children not to have that experience”.
(source: was homeschooled, my 3 brothers were homeschooled, have met plenty of families homeschooling in an entirely reasonable manner through assorted homeschooler activity groups.)

I mean, you could ask your boyfriend, Joyce.
but also the new magnet reveal features the note of “no heterosexual explanation” so… maybe you could ask the girl sitting next to you to help with some sort of demo?

I would be tremendously surprised if Joe knew what it was like to have a penis inside of him.
Sirksome
What are Joe’s secrets!?
Nono
He’s intimately familiar with Other Jacob.
FlamestAndLight
YET
Yotomoe
Joe would just ask Danny.
David DeLaney
somewhere Danny’s ears are BURNING
zee
Maybe not a real one but Joe seems sexually open enough to try pegging
Taffy
Joe doesn’t have a vagina, so he can’t explain that exact sensation. I can’t imagine Joyce is asking about butt sex.
Dante
Nope! Butt for the sake of comparison…~
mneme
No, though I’m reasonably sure quite a number of her fellow church girls have taken advantage of The Loophole (song is decidedly NSFW).
Roborat
I knew it was going to be Garfunkel and Oates, and I don’t think anything by them is SFW.
CrazyJ
Kate Micucci has a SFW song at least

46 Penises, the thankfully forgotten first draft of 47 Ronin
Rose by Any Other Name
To be fair, she didn’t say 46 penises. Her phasing implies that one or more penises were in her exactly 46 times.
Mturtle7
No, no, she says she’s “had, like…46 exactly.” And the last object she referred to was “a penis inside me”. To me, that phrasing implies she’s had 46 distinct penises inside her, not one or more penises 46 times.
Jo_cubstar
Yeah, I feel like she’d say “I’ve had them inside me exactly 46 times” if it was the individual times any penis has been inside her, vs how many different ones

The last four are different, since you already understand Life, The Universe, and Everything.
Sirksome
I feel like Joyce needs to recognize virginity status isn’t an indicator of maturity. Erase that shit from your mind Joyce!
Kimi
I feel like an asexual is screaming in the background, or is that just myself? Wait, is that why people always think that I am a teenager?!? Honestly though, I think that a lot of people are really bad at guessing ages unless it involves babies/toddlers/young kids. I think that it is a little easier at that age provided you have the appropriate education. As for adults, a lot of it revolves around genetics, environmental factors and personality.
Rowen Morland
Well asexuals have mostly had to go through that social pressure themselves, its one of the things that increased visibility, awareness and legitimacy is good for.
Amós Batista
No, me too.
nerdpants
yes, very much so.
GUIGUI
I don’t think it’s about being mature or not, it’s about knowing what having sex is like.
Sirksome
In the first panel Joyce is worried that revealing she’s a virgin reveals that she’s underage. This is because society tends to relate sex with maturity, but there are many older people who are virgins and younger people who are not. Especially as awareness of asexuality increases we shouldn’t be applying such stigmas to one’s sexual experience. Also tragically our youth aren’t being properly educated about sex and are experimenting with it at younger and younger ages if not outright being taken advantage of. Somewhat ironically what Joyce thinks proves she’s an adult might actually prove the opposite.
Slartibeast Button, BIA
She’s been doing a lot of erasing the past few months, cut her some slack. Rome wasn’t burnt in a day.
zee
I feel like America needs to recognize that. The world needs to recognize ot
anon
i mean concept aside unless you use a lot of lube/foreplay or so or have used a lot of toys that might eventually be bigger than the average guy’s i imagine it’d still take a while to get used to having sex
interesting when they took some pop culture stuff with ppls’ grandparents being uptight about sex /talking about itexisting when they wouldn’t have had children with out it (tho i guess that’s internalized shame and pre feminist movements and stuff)
Pocky
being stabbed
in a nice way
JA
With their penis.

well, a t least it’s not knifeplay lol /shot

Don’t worry Joyce, between the way you and Dorothy are cuddling up and that “I KNOW HOW A PENIS FEELS I PROMISE” response, everyone’s still probably assuming you’re over 21. They’re also probably just assuming you’re a closeted lesbian.
Dara
Closeted? Oh, this looks closeted to no one. This looks like lesbian but bi-curious Joyce asking her bi girlfriend what sex with men is like because she wants to know.
Daibhid C
I think if one member of an obvious F/F couple loudly and unconvincingly asserts she’s had so much straight sex, guys, seriously, she looks closeted. Very badly closeted, but closeted.
Nathan
Less in the closet and more hiding behind the coat rack

Broke: invasion of the body snatchers
Woke: invasion of the body snatch (in a good way)

Animedingo
How are they getting home
Reltzik
Probably walking. … which might not be entirely safe.
JA
Uber, probably.
Sirksome
I mean these two were likely born in a post Zoomr world but I also think they just walked here to begin with. You can’t walk yourself into a tree when drunk right? I mean you can but at least that doesn’t endanger your totally not girlfriend right?
Coatl
Joyce will not stop until she knows the truth and if she were to use drastic measures, both she and Dorothy would end up knocked out, only the miracle that someone she knew would come to the rescue.
mneme
On the bright side, out is better than up, in this case. (sorry. probably.)
HueSatLight
I hope Sydney Yus has to drive them for whatever contrived reason.
Dante
Sydney hasn’t been around in a while, I need this to happen
Lars
That would be awesome!
Mturtle7
Sydney being their Zoomr driver seems entirely plausible and in character, actually!
Thomas
Amber, Jennifer, Sal will descend on them simultaneously to drag them away. Jennifer will then try to initiate a pub-crawl that culminates in a very sloppy threeway.
David DeLaney
…while Dorothy and Joyce look on bemusedly
–Dave, with Dorothy explaining various parts to Joyce, and teaching her some technical terms
Needfuldoer
Maybe Amazi-Girl (or Amber just wearing the costume trying to invoke her) will go out looking for them.
Mark
It’s starting to look like Dorothy is going home in a wheelbarrow tonight.
jeffepp
Joe will arrive, and carry them cradled in his arms like worn out toddlers. He will take them to one, or both, of their rooms, and see to it that they’re roommate(s) look after them.
anon
well a handful of ppl know they’re out drinking so i imagine there’d be some run in with amazigirl maybe, but i imagine they can’t be /that/ far away from the campus assuming they got on foot to beginw ith
Reltzik
Revised answer: They’ve been through too much. They can never go back home again, because they’re no longer the same people whose home it was.
Hazel
Dorothy’s devious face is cute.
Needfuldoer
Panel 3 Dorothy, panel 5 Joyce.
HueSatLight
And somehow they will be identical to the ones she drew on the whiteboards.
Coatl
Even in that state, Dorothy isn’t going to say anything and Joyce will do everything she can to get her to talk. On the one hand, I know I said we could learn new information about Dorothy and reveal her nightmare, but on the other hand, Joyce is a rookie. with alcohol and his conviction and the state he is in is a bad feeling.
By the way, even though she continues to hide her problems, Dorothy’s face looks adorable in panel 3
Coatl
*and her conviction and the state she is in is a bad feeling.
Dante
I’m now wondering what in the heck would get Dorothy to talk. She looks like she’d pass out before ‘fessin up.
Coatl
It is more intriguing to know what methods Joyce will use to find out the truth.
John Campbell
In a row?
