I don’t know….you’re either going to like this or hate me. I tried. I think this is something we all feel as we age, but having it come from the “voice” of Melody is always scary for me, the male creator. I could go on and on about this subject (aging and feeling “sexy”) but I’m going to leave it where it lies. If it goes viral on “healthy aging” websites or on “feminist” websites, I guess we’ll know where it landed with most of you. Viva la internet!
This is IT- NEXT WEEK expect a curve ball to hit the OUTNUMBERED strip. It’s the SECRET I’ve been hinting at for some time. I hope you like it. But the part you DO KNOW is that I will be slowly introducing you to a NEW CHARACTER: a dog for the Outnumbered family (I call them the Crosby’s, btw, I need to mention that more, huh?) I hit my Patreon page milestone thanks to many of you, so this is the PAYOFF!
AND- did you hit the link on the top right yet? The one that says Patreon? Its cool and fun. It takes you to a wonderful place where you can help me make this (free) strip for you along with art monthly art giveaways and other stuff no one else sees- Just a click away!
A Good Rule for Husbands IS: NEVER Hold a Conversation with the Wife, WHILE You’re Reading!
Or looking on the computer or watching television!
LOL it’s normal. (us) Women tend to get too emotional and self-conscious. Men, have a tendency to not worry about that stuff as much, and can easily forget that we take it to heart (when we probably shouldn’t).
Tom, couple of questions…I’ve noticed only one frame that is “silhouette” in the “bags without cats” strip. Is this method a shortcut to finishing a strip or is it used for style or impact?
Secondly, I found and follow Outnumbered on Gocomics but it has been awhile since any new material has been posted. Any particular reason for this or have you just not gotten around to updating that site?
I truly enjoy Outnumbered and wish you continued success.
First answer: yes, just used for effect, but sometimes it is a good time saver. I need to do it more often, because I think it always looks good. Second: Thanks for following Outnumbered on GoComics.com, I aways forget to to “sell” it here. Perfect timing to ask about it because I just UPDATED IT TODAY! It will be every Monday and Thursday for the next little while (until I need to replenish it again from the archives!)
I don’t know how many times that same scenario has happened to me. Oh the joys of marriage. I laughed out loud to this one!
That’s awesome! Thanks for telling me that.
If you do not give her your undivided attention; prepare to be drawn and quartered.
No, THAT does not need to be drawn.
HA, thanks Lee
