Did you ever think you’d see that from Cosimo?
We’re doing great this month, thanks to you! As of this writing we’re about #73 – help us go higher!
There’s now just under a month to enter the Art Contest, so get those entries in, we want to see them! Take a look at Category 1 (personal avatars) and Category 2 (riffs on the Hot Mess characters)! We’d love to see your masterpiece win!
And you can check us out on Facebook for site updates, special content and exclusive art!
Whew, finally got this one posted after some difficulty with uploading. Thanks for your patience. So what do you think is on that there smartphone in Charlie’s hands?
Just a couple of things:
First, a special thank you to reader JP who was nice enough to design and send over the little Hot Mess logo you now see on your address bar. It looks great, JP!
Second, if you like what we’re doing here at Hot Mess and think we deserve it, we’d love for you to click on the little icon below and vote for us on Top Web Comics.

And don’t forget that we’re on Facebook!

In place of your regular Funday Sunday update, we’re proud to post the first in a series of Hot Mess Pinups! We’re working with a number of different webcomic artists to bring their unique visions to Hot Mess in special pinup panels, and we thought what better way to kick off than with a scene by our very own Emily Chan! We’re having fun with these, and our hope is that you’ll like the variety of art so much, you’ll end up checking out the webcomics by our guest artists.
Those of you who “like” us on Facebook will have already seen this picture, as Emily debuted it over there a few weeks ago. We’re going to use Facebook to occasionally premiere art and behind-the-scenes material. Some of it might trickle over here, while other bits will remain exclusive to Facebook. So, if you like what we’re doing here, please feel free to “Like” us and stay in touch!
Ok, that’s it for now. We’ll be back this week with new strips, so see you then!
For this space, I tried writing out the James Bond theme phonetically – it did not work out. So now that you know what I was going for, you can hum it to yourselves.
…ok, so we fixed 47… and additionally <hem,haw> I also altered the script just a little. So this is either an insight into the writing process, or you can look at this as a total mess up by me. Either way, I hope you enjoy it. Consider it… a director’s cut!
Anna better do some damage control…
…and that was Charlie.
Wow, Anna looks angry – great work on the art, Emily.
If you like what we’re doing on Hot Mess, we’d love your like.
