People like Allie Brosh

Allie Brosh (born May 18, 1985) is an American blogger, writer and comic artist best known for her blog in the form of a webcomic Hyperbole and a Half.

Brosh grew up in small towns across the U.S. before attending the University of Montana. While there, Brosh started Hyperbole and a Half in 2009, on which she told stories from her life in 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, and her comics on depression have won praise from fans and mental health professionals. Her depression led her to withdraw from the internet and her blog for several years.
