Allie Brosh Sat Nov 05 2011 at 6:26:09 Allie Brosh is an American comedienne best known for her work on her blog, Hyperbole and a Half, and also for writing on other sites with her distinctive brand of observational comedy and autobiography, told through a mixture of text and unrealistic but entertaining MS Paint pictures. But before we start on Allie Brosh, we have to start on the internet. And on blogging and writing on the internet. There are thousands and thousands of people on the internet who have at some point written humorous bits about their life, mixed with absurdity, funny pictures or cultural observations. And, in most cases, such observations become just lost pieces of lore kicking around on the internet's many back channels. For some reason, Allie Brosh's blog hit a chord with many people. Which is not to say that her work isn't original and of good (if crude) quality, it is just to say that it is hard to say exactly what Brosh captured that sets her apart from the typical personal blog/webcomic.
