Hyperbole and a Half is a webcomic/blog written and drawn by Allie Brosh in a very distinctive, messy style that nevertheless is extraordinarily human and genuine. She has recently recovered from a severe depression and has started posting again.
The writing and the comics are weaved together throughout each blog entry without any definitive pattern. The comics are hand-drawn in a Microsoft "Paint" style with stick figures and bold colours. The expressions on the characters are exaggerated, but very clear. The stories are told in the first person and the main character is the writer herself and the plot is her take on her own life.
Anyone prone to anxiety, who has an offbeat and vaguely snarky sense of humour will love this blog. It may also make a connection for many people who wondered where the "all the things!" meme started.

Very interesting work. Would proably be very funny for people who are overcoming deppression themselves.
ReplyDeleteYes, or those who have experienced it in the past/working through. I actually think it would be a brilliant addition to pamphlets for family and friends of sufferers to read, a little laugh, but also a lot of insight.
DeleteGlad you liked it!
Simple but expressive!
