A week from Monday, on September 10, I will have been doing webcomics for fifteen years. Dumbing of Age will also be celebrating its second birthday! To celebrate this milestone, I have put together a limited poster! Suffice to say, it’s the busiest thing I have ever drawn in my life.
A while ago, Joel Watson was all, hey, you should do a parody of Superboy Prime punching the universe and all the pieces scattering into the Walkyverse and the Dumbiverse. That’d be a poster you can do. And it was a fine idea, but it wasn’t “all-encompassing work of horror” enough for me. I needed something that would take me a month to complete. And so I’ve parodied a different, better crisis instead.

As a result, every character who’s ever appeared in one of my webcomics is in this thing. I poured through my own archives day by day, grabbing folks to squeeze in here. Some of them are pretty in your face. Some may be less obvious, but still pretty easy to find. Some may be essentially unrecognizable mostly-obscured heads in the background. But they’re all here. And there’s both Walkyverse and Dumbiverse versions of everybody. (You can probably tell where the split in the composition takes place.)
It’s an 11″x17″ slab of cardstock gloss craziness, and there’s only 50 100 of them. I’ll number and autograph them all. If you want one, here it is in the store.
UPDATE: I woke up this morning to find I’d sold seventy of my fifty posters, so, uh, I just ordered a second 50.
UPDATE AGAIN: They’re gone! Sold out in 23.5 hours. Woof!

This is many shades of interesting
Gray doesnt TOUCH this picture.
I am having trouble locating the great Faz and the great Wen. Lol, is the only place you drew Faz in Sarah Palin’s butt?
Also, this makes me remember how much I loved that end-of-the-world sequence…*sigh* I wish there was more of Joyce and Walky.
Yeah, Robin is the only one who’s represented more than once per universe. Faz is taken care of at the top, while Wen is elsewhere.
whos the character under the second grey pic to the left? Looked like Joyce to me, but theres already a bigger Joyce.
Anti-Joyce.
seems I need a re-read!
The Great and Delectable Wen is a couple of people to the left of The Cheese at the bottom, right next to Jason from Multiplex.
Pretty much all of the “too important for the background, not important enough for the ‘main’ section” characters are in the lineups at the bottom, including Wen.
This is simply an amazing piece of work.
This is kind of bothering me, but I can’t recognize the guy staring down the cheese at the bottom there. What’s he from?
He’s the JFO-Cheese.
Who is that looking at the Cheese? Is that from the Dexter and Monkey Master cartoon?
That’s the Cheese from Dargon’s universe.
Soo… The DoA universe is Dargon’s!
*dramatic audio que*
Nahh. There’s a Jason in it, so that’s not possible.
DOES the DoA universe have a Cheese? He seems to be a universal constant.
Awesome. I am awed.
So much awesomeness. Congratulations on oodles of years!!
It’s like an explosion of explosion, something I’m not sure is allowed in the English language.
Why is the butt taco not on here.
damn you Willis for putting this up while I am mostly broke and in the middle of PAX craziness. AAAAarrrrrgghhhhh! *le sigh*
Shit! I was looking for him, and it STILL creeped me out when I found DAB.
This is just epic I am in so much awe
I want to buy one but my mum won’t let me use her card because she doesn’t “get what it is” >_<
It is art. Tell her you’re investing in culture.
EPIC does not begin to describe this!
You do other webcomics? What are they?
If you go to the front page of the site, and scroll down below the comic and look in the right-hand column, there are big graphic links to all four of them.
WOW! That looked like a lot of work. Thanks for sharing! This was a great way to showcase all your characters.
My zoom is not enough zoom!
This really is an amazing piece of art.
Damn, you even have the Melonpool and Fans characters in there.
On a related note, does it feel weird to anyone else that Shortpacked has been running for almost as long as Roomies and It’s Walky combined?
Once upon a time, the word awesome didn’t mean “cool”, but more of an “awe-inspiring” sense.
This poster is all kinds of awesome.
I can’t seem to find DoA Danny anywhere
nvm. He’s hidin’ behind Joyce like a Waldo
Love the ghost Drama Tag, ghost nuggets, and ghost X-TREEM Mug. Not sure what the ghost Batman references (an eaten toy, perhaps?)
Yeaih! got my order last night. When are you going to send them?
I started sending them today. Just a small batch. I should be able to send out regular batches until I run out of mailing envelopes (put in another order today) and/or run through the first 50 posters before the second batch comes in.
You even have the FANS! and Melonpool guys in there! Huh. Haven’t found pooping butt yet, unless you count Palin.
Haha, just realized that’s Joyce’s comically-huge calculator, prolly furry Danny’s bone, too
Yes and yes.
You are also in there somewhere, btw, because of your Kickstarter incentive cameo. So, hey!
So I didn’t get to buy myself again?? *shakes fist*
Dude, you should do like Aaron Diaz and sell hi-res donation wallpapers. If only so I can see if I’m one of the barely visible tops of heads =p
Wait, is Ken falling on me?
Oh, and found pooping butt! And SG Ravage! Yay!
Ironically, I just came to say I’m amazed I DID find pooping butt.
The pooping butt is easy enough to find, but poor Cyclops is probably one of those fraction-of-a-head visible behind somebody more important characters. *sigh*
Sold out? While Mrs. A and I were spending the weekend chasing deer and elk around the mountains and therefore incommunicado. That figures.
Damn you, Willis.
Ding dang it. For once, somebody’s selling an incentive I really, really want, and it’s sold out before I see it exists.
My birthday is September 10th too! But I’m turning 20 instead of 2. *wonders where did my teen years go*
Am I blind, or is poster-Roadblock missing from the Walkyverse?
Roadblock looks like he’s between Ronnie’s legs
…er =o
I might be blind as well but where is Ethan is the Walkyverse?
Besides fighting Blaine O’Malley in the decorative insets?
Thanks didn’t recognise him with the angry look.
The implications of this poster make me sad… I don’t like Dorothy.
This is absolutely amazing. The only people I couldn’t find were Dora, Marten and Faye from Questionable Content when, I believe Ethan and Amber went to go talk. Anyone see them?
It’s sold out. That makes me sad. 🙁
Sorry I missed this years ago. Heh, maybe you’ll do another one based on Alex Ross’s Secret Wars teaser poster… Or the issue 1 image with only 616 and Ultimate reality characters…
