I was digging around in the files this weekend, and came across this blast from the past – it’s the first time Emily had drawn the characters together in a group shot. I remember being really happy the first time I saw this. Some of those characters we’ve yet to meet, but we’ll see them soon.
Which characters would you like to see more of? Which of the ones yet-to-be-introduced are you most excited about? You can check out the characters page for their names – though we’re still working on most of their profiles.
Ok, so thanks to you, we’ve shot up in the rankings (we’ve cracked the top 140 as of this writing). You can help us with our (very modest) goal of breaking the top 100 by just clicking on the button below. Even if you’ve voted before, remember, you can vote once a day.
Also, Emily posted an exclusive Scooziecat sketch on Facebook.
And finally, don’t forget there’s still plenty of time to enter the Contest… take a look at Category 1 (personal avatars) and Category 2 (riffs on the Hot Mess characters)! We’d love to see your entry!
Have a great weekend!


Several updates ago I would have requested more Zoey since she got introduced early and hadn’t been seen since, but it looks like we’re getting to her. Jonesy looks like he should be fun to see, he just looks so enthused.
Also, am I the only one who thinks Ashley and Ms. Helmsley kind of look like shop NPCs from a semi-medieval (or something rural like Harvest Moon) themed RPG in that picture?
^ Dude, I totally thought the same thing about Ashley and Ms. Helmsley!
@Kris
Its the aprons. All shop NPCs must have aprons. Also I am also really looking forward to Jonesy (Odd name though).
I’d like to see more of Jack! He’s like my favorite! But that’s just me :l
I would love to see more of the geeky looking Jonesy. Quite curious what he’s like, I could see him being a bit of a annoying know it all younger brother who insists he’s an expert on retro gaming but always get’s it wrong.
I could also see him being a uber nice guy to everyone.
Jonesy looks like he’d be one of my best friends! I want to meet him.
Besides that, though, I like what you got going.
I am also looking forward to meeting Jonesy.
I’ve got to agree with Kris; Jonesy just looks so adorably excited. Kind of like a toned-down geeked-out Fribble.
I look forward to know Jonesy! After reading the comments I realized I’m not the only one and I must say I found it quite funny.

He just looks too adorably happy and adorkable. X3
I’m looking forward to Jonesy, but would also love more Jack! Every girl needs a sassy gay friend! He reminds me so much of my “Sven” from high school.
I’m looking forward to Scooziecat and Jonesy.
Scooziecat because I CANT FIGURE OUT THE PERSONALITY and Jonesy because..
he’s cute.
e__e I feel so creepy.
