Ok, all the entries are in, and Emily is working very hard to pick the winners. I can truthfully say I don’t envy her – the amount of submissions and their incredible quality is going to make naming the winners a tough challenge to say the least! Personally I was overwhelmed by all the creativity put forth, and can’t thank you all enough for taking the time to enter.
Which ones are your favorites?

Wow, I can’t believe what a tiny little programming change will do. As many of you noticed (and commented on) we were having an image-size problem with our comics. For whatever reason (i.e. my ineptitude), the comic images were being shrunk by WordPress by about 1%, causing them to be a little blurry. Our wonderful programmer Nick fixed it today, and I can’t believe how clear the pictures look now! Thanks Nick!
Hi Everyone, Geoff here with a couple of site updates.
First, thank you all again for continuing to vote for us over at TopWebcomics – Hot Mess topped out at #68 last month and with your help, I think we can do better.
Now on to the important business: I want to announce that I’m going to be writing a semi-regular blog series called HOW TO MAKE A WEBCOMIC where I’m going to share the things I’ve learned working on Hot Mess. It’ll be a open look into the process of creating and maintaining a comic site, and aimed to help anyone who is thinking of putting their toes in the water get to the point where they’re ready to jump in. It will be my own personal guidebook to the world of webcomics.
My honest hope is that first-time creators out there can use my posts as a tool to help you avoid the many (oh so many) pitfalls that I feel into to – or at least be aware of them – as well as highlight some of the successful paths I took. If nothing else, I think it will get your brain going and get you excited about creating your masterpiece. I love this medium, and I do think it’s the future of comics. There’s no better time to start one up than right now – everyone has an equal chance to get their work out there and seen!
I’m thinking this series will be at least 13 parts long (I know, right? Who knew there was so much to think about when making a funny-book?), and my plan is to have the first one post next Friday, then weekly after that.
So, we’ll see you next week with new strips, and this Sunday will be a Funday!
Emily Chan, artistic mastermind behind the look of Hot Mess, created another series called StupidFox (as if most of you didn’t know). And now, that silly StupidFox has his own site. Personally, I think her work there is brilliant, elegant, and consistently funny.
