Allie Brosh

Allie Brosh (born May 18, 1985) is an American blogger, writer, and comic artist best known for ''Hyperbole and a Half,'' a blog and webcomic she created in 2009.

Brosh grew up in small towns across the U.S. and eventually attended the University of Montana. While there, Brosh started the ''Hyperbole and a Half'' blog. On the site, she told stories from her life using a mix of text and intentionally crude illustrations. She has published two books telling stories in the same style, both of which have been ''New York Times'' bestsellers.

Brosh lives with severe depression and ADHD, which have caused her to withdraw from the internet, her blog, and public appearances for several years on multiple occasions. Brosh's comics chronicling her experiences with depression have won praise from mental health professionals, professors, and philanthropists. Provided by Wikipedia
