The cuteness of the hat compels you! And what it compels you to do is draw fanart, judging by this drawing of Dina by the infamous John Troutman. But just because Dina’s having a good time doesn’t mean her hat has to be! It’s so, so put out.

Ruth owned last week’s fanart, so can we get a little Dorothy in here? Yes we can, thanks to Starline! Go read her webcomic, Candi. It’s about a pink-haired girl who totally also goes to college.
Unshelved Book Club “Dumbing of Age” strip
by David M Willis on October 8, 2010 at 11:13 amBill Barnes is the creator of Unshelved, a webcomic about librarians. Don’t laugh, it’s true. A regular feature is the Unshelved Book Club, where characters talk about a book they’ve read. Sometimes Bill invites other webcomics to get into the act, and probably, what, a billion months ago he asked me to.
I originally planned to do something with Robin and Leslie from Shortpacked! about The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs, but then convention season happened and I became Worst Guest Comic Contributor Ever. But a few weeks ago Bill reminded me that he could totally end me, and I got back to it. Not because of any threats of bodily harm he may or may not have threatened, but because we’re really good friends and I didn’t want to let him down.
Between the original solicitation for a guest strip and the actual creation, I had a new webcomic. So enjoy.
Ruth, the Black Mamba, by Karen Rustad
by David M Willis on October 7, 2010 at 12:00 pmAccording to Karen Rustad, Ruth has risen from her Roomies!-crafted grave the old-fashioned way, by digging herself up out of her own coffin! And her wrists are all slashed! Oh, okay, I see, this is a Kill Bill reference, not a suggestion of Unfortunate Implications. Phew!
Frightening Spectre-Ruth by Yovnocrats
by David M Willis on October 6, 2010 at 12:00 pmI think we’ve discovered a favorite subject for Dumbing of Age fan art. Though, hey, look, it’s Mike! He’s novel! Thanks, Yovnocrats, for adding to our nightmare fuel.
Hey, look, more art of Ruth! This time, it’s be Erika Peterson. Ruth looks pleasant. … suspiciously pleasant. Hrn.
This can’t be good.
Hey, it’s Ruth and a pile of her bone-of-choice! I’m, uh, sure, she acquired these bones in a very very legal and not at all gross and terrible way. Let’s ask Trae Dorn, creator of UnCONventional, who drew this for us.
…or maybe we should just call the cops…
I’ve been drawing Joyce half my life. Here’s some images of her pulled from my hard drive, arranged chronologically, for funsies. Try to guess at which point I took life drawing lessons!
IT’S PRETTY EASY.
Here’s more Dumbing of Age fanart from the guys behind the webcomic Living with Insanity, David Herbert and Paul Salvi. They’re tapping into a key theme of DoA, which is girls punching things.
