Welcome to the Fuck Zones feature canon-only couplings as a self-imposed rule, but for April Fool’s Day, I thought I’d draw a non-canon coupling. Because if April Fool’s gags are good for anything, they’re for doing something fun and different in a way that “breaks the rules” without pissing you off, hopefully. Long story short, that NSFW graphic over on the left of Dorothy and Joyce IS REAL. I mean, it’s not canon, but it’s, like, a real Slipshine page. You don’t click through it to be tricked. The full image is actually there.
I figure in this AU, it’s still fairly early in the school year, as evidenced by Joyce being in one of her earlier sweatervests. Becky hasn’t visited yet. And I guess both of them are into ladies and they become the bestest friends possible. Best episode of Sliders ever.
(oh right and the book 6 kickstarter‘s still going, if i don’t link to this here every day i have failed as a businessman)
We cleared $40k yesterday morning, and so the Dumbing of Age Book 6 Kickstarter has unlocked Dexter and Monkey Master character magnets! They’re based on brand new art I drew yesterday! You can pledge for a book + either of them, or a Book + both of them as a set! And if you pledged for the any of the COMPLETE MAGNET POWER tiers, they’ve been automatically added to your pile.
Next up, at $45k, I’ll unveil a FUTURE COMIC STRIP, from, like, June or something, I dunno. We’ll figure it out together. Last time we did this, I had a website poll where you could choose a future strip based on which characters appeared in it. (None of them would be overly spoilery, of course; they’d be fun, relatively stand-alone strips.) Around $45K I’ll also have another surprise character magnet choice for y’all.
That’s it!
The Dumbing of Age Book 6 Kickstarter is just about $800 away from unlocking DEXTER and MONKEY MASTER magnets, just so ya know.
And that’s when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, from the Dumbing of Age Book 6 Kickstarter stretch goal you didn’t even know was there.
(also we got Saturday and Sunday updates renewed for another year, hooray!!!!!!)
Yesterday the Dumbing of Age Book 6 Kickstarter launched! So far in one day we’ve funded and hit our first stretch goal of unlocking Leslie and Robin character magnets! (At launch, Jocelyne and Carla magnets were available, and these two new magnets now join them.) And now, looking forward, if we hit $35k, we’ll keep our Saturday and Sunday updates! … because even I keep forgetting that weekend strip updates were a Kickstarter stretch goal several years back that kept on getting renewed. Look, nobody wants to go back to just five days a week, so let’s hope we plow right through that marker.
This week’s Welcome to the Fuck Zone is Billie and Ruth, again, because, like, I guess we all really like those two for some reason. Look, I know just last week I said I was gonna inline the graphic here below the strip more often, but we’re all crowded out with Kickstarter stuff right now so I HAVE MADE MYSELF A LIAR. Good job, me. You jackass. You’ll have to look a few inches over to the left for your preview instead of having it front and center.
