Where is allie brosh 2017

Her webcomic blog that had drawn as many as seven million visitors each month sat idle, too. Fans were left concerned, wondering what had happened. In the early s, Brosh had become a blogosphere darling, beloved for her quirky cartoon-and-text combination posts.

For sensitive, goofy kids on the internet, it was comedy scripture. Her first book, the New York Times bestseller Hyperbole and a Half — named after her blog — came out in October , the same month as her final blog post.

Seven months later, her Facebook page went dark, and within a year she had totally retreated from public view. For an artist who had been open about her mental health struggles and suicidal ideations, her ongoing silence was concerning.

As it turned out, some of what she was dealing with was even worse than the depression many rightly assumed was still plaguing her. Readers, worried about her mental health, posted encouraging comments on her social media pages. On Amazon, the release date of her next book went from to to Why would someone drop off the face of the internet, just as her career was taking off?
