Hot Moms

Rebecca’s Hot Moms ran for 17 issues from 2003 to 2013 with Fantagraphics, a singular, creator-driven series that follows the candid, often surreal domestic lives of mothers navigating parenthood, friendship, and desire. Written and drawn entirely by Rebecca, the comic strips away sentimentality to offer a raw, humorous, and unflinching look at the messy realities of modern motherhood—a perspective that was underrepresented in comics at the time. Its long, consistent run and intimate, autobiographical tone made it a quietly influential work in alternative comics, capturing the everyday absurdities and emotional depths of its characters with a distinctive, hand-drawn charm.
