Dumblr Of Age

It's all Dumbing of Age stuff, all the time!

One of my favorite things about DoA is how accurate it is to IU. I'm not an alum, but the rest of my family went there- my sister even cheered there- and it's really fun to see a campus I'm so familiar with. That attention to detail makes the world feel so very lived-in, and I like that a lot! And that leads me to a question: have you ever done analytics to see how many of your readers might be in Indiana?

A statistically normal amount of readers are from Bloomington, Indiana, according to the last time I checked Google Analytics. About the number of readers you'd expect if the strip took place anywhere at all, honestly.

My attempt to capture the hearts and minds of Bloomington, Indiana, residents specifically has FAILED.

Every month at the Dumbing of Age Patreon there’s two new exclusive bonus strips — one that patrons get to vote on, and another that’s my choice!  This month, folks voted to see CHARLIE!  What’s she thinkin’ ’bout? To find out, read this bonus strip and hundreds of previous at the Dumbing of Age Patreon! 

Also, if you pledge up to $5 or more per month, you can read TOMORROW’s strip RIGHT NOW, every day!

I only have one pair of shoes. Not for any masculinity reasons, just every time I get new pairs I end up losing the previous one.

I have one pair of shoes I wear every day, which gets replaced as they fall apart, and a second nicer pair of shoes I wear when somebody dies!

really fun way of visually showing a person doing different voices in a medium that has no sound hahah

[dumbingofage]

joe has how many pairs of shoes???

was really hoping i could dramatically unveil seven different shoes across joe's character models, but alas, i can only produce four

it'd've been really cool if I coulda pulled out seven, though

[notedchampagne]

we ran out of devotion that corrupts. would you guys be cool with devotion thats a little annoying to everyone

really enjoy the full circle moment of dorothy wearing the amazi-suit that she redesigned for mazie literally a week ago

(and, y'know, also the full circle moment of all those times dorothy's like "oh my gosh amazi-girl you're so cool, i wish i could be as awesome")

(...and also the full circle moment of characters pointing out that amber and dorothy are basically just echo fighters of each other...)

there's lots of roundness happening here! including dorothy's face, and mazie's everything else

[dumbingofage]

Multi-part question by necessity:

Are Amber’s glasses prescription?

If yes:

She shares the same body with Amazi-Girl, but Amazi-Girl does not wear glasses.

How does Amazi-Girl see without prescription glasses?

Like me, Amber has astigmatism. She's not near or far-sighted. She basically has reading glasses, and she's generally fine to jump around as long as she's not trying to read highway signs at night while driving at 65 miles an hour.

2012 Dorothy vs. 2026 Dorothy

this is an absolutely crazy callback to be making

(i'm glad i already made a post about those tweets a while ago bc wow)

[queenofsodor]

did you know i've had a project file on my computer of this scene since the Live Jocelyne Reaction itself ran, just to experiment with timing a Specific Piece of Music to match its pacing, with no dialogue or word pop-in edits or anything

figured i'd actually finish it today! happy joyrothy kissaversary

I have a bisexual guppy and its funny as hell to watch because it seems like he’s only bi out of desperation. Like all of the female guppies are unimpressed by him, and dont accept his mating displays, and every time he fails, he goes over to a SPECIFIC male guppy (the prettiest male guppy in the tank) like PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE and that male guppy always lets him????

[domnika-deactivated20250923]

[c-53]

NEW COMIC DUB! This is one of my all-time favorite scenes in the comic. Dorothy Keener, the neurotic poindexter that you are...

(I had to export this at 720p to get it to fit into a Tumblr embed, but it's mirrored on YouTube in proper HD if that is more to your tastes!)

[dumbingofage]

Hi, I'm a big fan of the comic, and I was wondering if any members of the cast are Indigenous Peoples? I think it's really important for the original inhabitants of this stolen land to be seen, and I love how diverse and representative of everyone the comic is! Anyways, much love, and have a great day ❤️

Jim is! We don't see enough of him.

[dumbingofage]

do you have hi-res of the panel where becky says "chicks" to dorothy? idr if that's one you've posted before

[dumbingofage]

i'm trying to update the tiermaker and i need to know because this is exploding my brain. which one of these cops is Lon??? i assumed it was the bald one but the unclear directions of the word bubble tails in that one strip where they leave Fuckface alone makes it less clear

bald with bandage is lon

[dumbingofage]

Karen!
