Hey everyone! If OUTNUMBERED looks a little different this week its because it IS! This is only the second time I have given the artistic “reigns” over to another artist (the first, being my brother, almost a year ago), but my good friend, TONY CRAIG, actually came to me and asked if he could do a “guest artist strip” for Outnumbered. I hadn’t even thought to ask anyone, so him asking was a thrill. Knowing Tony as a strong cartoonist even back in our early days as CalArts students, it was a good fit. Tony has since directed many TV shows and feature films for Warner Brothers and a few other studios. He’s a great guy too. He says he’s been thinking of jumping into the world of webcomics himself, so hopefully drawing Outnumbered was a good experience from him. AND- by the way- I wrote this strip, so you can’t blame Tony for that. Thanks Tony! I love it and thank you for your help- I needed the break this week!
You can see some of Tony’s prints, photography and artwork at his FB page/gallery. Please “like” it at:

I can feel Melody pain! Every time, I get food stains in the same area, which is annoying… Also because it’s a very visible area, so you can’t try to cover the stains!
Luckily I don’t have that problem. I collect the food in my beard, so it never reaches my clothing. 🙂
And, after enough years to have 4 girls, and in the privacy of home, and without said girls around, Mark didn’t offer to help her with the stain. Oh, Lord!
