Hey Outnumbered fans. I hate to say this but after 140 Outnumbered strips and never missing a week’s posting, I’m taking a hiatus. I love Outnumbered (and YOU that follow it) and its been a labor of love for me to create it every week. I have just gotten to the point where I’ve over committed on other work and travel (and they pay, so they get first priority) and I need to have some free time for my family also. So, for at least the next few months of this summer, I’m taking a break. I hate doing it and it was a super hard decision. I WILL make an OUTNUMBERED book someday soon. That was a mini goal of mine from the start and I think I have enough strips (plus sketches and maybe some new ones I can create just for that book) to pull it off. I will keep you posted on that too. Make sure you follow me on Instagram (tombancroft1), Twitter (tombancroft1), Facebook, tumblr, and our Bancroft Brothers Facebook fan page. Its been my honor to bring you a slice of my- um- the Crosby Family’s life every week for the last 2.5 years. Thank you for your support and love. -Tom Bancroft

Tom,
We never regret decisions that put family time first, as you know. Although we all love the “Outnumbered” family, it would be tragic to spend your summer slaving away at the expense of the Bancroft family. Kudos for your excellent decision! Please know you’ll have an eager audience when you get back to it. Blessings!
Hey, it happens! That’s this “life” thing we all are part of. 🙂
Enjoy the other work and working on book stuff, and congrats on getting so many comics out on such a regular basis!
Boo! I love this strip – hope it’s just a break, and not the end. I have enjoyed the antics of the Crosby family.
I love all the other stuff your doing as well! Completely understand. Enjoy your summer!
You suck! Why can’t you just do it all? And can I have a free strip?
It’s sad to see Outnumbered go, but you do what you gotta do. And 140 pages is nothing to sneeze at. Best luck to you on your other projects, and thanks for making OUtnumbered. 🙂
Good for you for enjoying your family first, this time. I like that since I am your family. I’m looking forward to seeing you this summer. I’ll miss Outnumbered, but knowing you, the first opportunity you will get back to it. Enjoy your family and the many other artistic endeavors you have this summer. See you soon…. Love you…Mommacita
