Hyperbole and a Half Sat Nov 29 2014 at 5:22:55 Hyperbole and a Half is a webcomic and blog created since 2009 by Allie Brosh. It is the origin of the "clean ALL the things!" meme, along with several other images used frequently in Internet memes. The webcomic is typically done in a format involving multiple Microsoft Paint drawings and captions placed between paragraphs of text, telling stories from the author's childhood and more recent life events. The series features many recurring characters, such as Allie herself, her pets Simple Dog and Helper Dog, and the ALOT, a large woolly creature designed to mock poor grammar. The series occasionally handles heavier themes than its usual over-the-top slice-of-life humour; the author has used the blog and comic to discuss chronic depression, explaining the experience of depression as it has impacted her life.
