Yes, I'm Hot in This is a comic strip series by Huda Fahmy describing her day-to-day life as a Muslim in the United States. The comic has her observations on mistaken beliefs about Muslims from fellow Americans, surveillance against Muslims, and slice of life stories.[1] The title refers to her status as a hijabi and how non-Muslim Americans encountering her are curious about her attire.[2]
Fahmy, who never took formal art lessons,[2] wrote down her experiences upon seeing a request for work from writers who practiced Islam, but publishers were initially not interested in her work as she was not already well-known. Fahmy's older sister suggested that she could get popularity if she posted her work on Facebook, and Fahmy also began posting them on Instagram;[3] As of 2018[update], her Instagram had 200,000 followers. Fahmy's husband screens comments to remove harassment and trolling.[2]
Her comics were published in book form by Adams Media in 2018.[2]
