Her first book, the New York Times bestseller Hyperbole and a Half- named after her blog - came out in October 2013, the same month as her final blog post.
For sensitive, goofy kids on the internet, it was comedy scripture. Even casual web surfers couldn’t help coming across her much-memed “CLEAN ALL THE THINGS!” panel, where a stick-figure drawing of Brosh in a pink dress brandishes a broom like a battle sword. In the early 2010s, Brosh had become a blogosphere darling, beloved for her quirky cartoon-and-text combination posts. Fans were left concerned, wondering what had happened. Her webcomic blog that had drawn as many as seven million visitors each month sat idle, too. In May of 2014, comic artist Allie Brosh posted on Facebook: “I’m in the process of writing a second book (and also a new post for the blog).” Then Brosh, who had sometimes posted multiple updates per day, went silent.
