History Webcomic / HyperboleAndAHalf

* {{Calvinball}}: "Baby Uterus Wall Ball", [[IncrediblyLamePun conceived]] by Allie as the explanation behind one of the Google queries leading to her site being "baby uterus not sticking to".

* DadaComic: There's really no explanation behind most of what goes on in the Spaghatta Nadle universe, but it [[EnsembleDarkhorse resonates with people]] anyway.

The blog went on hiatus starting late 2013, though in 2015 Allie appeared on an episode of the Website/YouTube ''Geek & Sundry'' series ''Spellslingers'', where she showed her geek cred by coming within just a few HP of defeating host Sean Plott in a game of ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering''. The hiatus was broken on September 2020, when she announced that she had [[https://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2020/09/announcement.html completed her second book]] and that it was available for sale. It remains to be seen if more, regular entries will follow.

* NoPeriodsPeriod: Averted; Allie wrote one post about getting her first period, which she did not only before any of her friends, but before her mother had even thought to tell her about menstruation. That in itself would be bad enough, but [[AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents her mother organized a 'moon time' party with the mothers of all Allie's girlfriends]], [[FromBadToWorse and all of her friends found out about it because one mother hung the invitation card up on her refrigerator.]] She also wrote another post about having extremely painful periods (caused in part by severe endometriosis) and she actually ''threatened her uterus'' in the post, saying she could make sure it would "not come into contact with so much as a single drop of semen for the rest of your natural life."

* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: Self-inflicted. Her parents tried to raise her well, but Allie managed to get into all kinds of hilarious and mildly traumatic trouble as a child. See [[http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-fish-almost-destroyed-my-childhood.html The Fish Story]], [[http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/year-easter-bunny-died.html The Easter Bunny Story]], [[http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/09/party.html The Party]], [[http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/10/god-of-cake.html The God of Cake]], [[https://visualrhetoricspring2012.wordpress.com/2012/02/18/everybody-falls/ Bicycle]][[note:taken from a secondhand blog recap due to the original post being removed]], and [[http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2011/01/wolves.html Wolves]], to name a few.

A sequel, ''Solutions and Other Problems'', released September 2020.

* SugarFrostedHyperKids: In "Menace", Allie swipes at the her classmates and draws on the walls in a power high after getting a dinosaur costume for Halloween. Her teacher assumes it's due to the holiday candy consumption, leading Allie's parents to forbid her candy. Unfortunately, Allie then rebels by eating sugar anyway, perpetuating the misunderstanding.

* NonMammalMammaries: "[[StockDinosaurs Tricera]]-[[NippleAndDimed topless]]."

* IllGirl: Allie has a noted propensity for becoming "[[http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/06/texas.html dramatically ill]]."

* TheDitz: Simple Dog. Yes, even for dog standards.

* TheDitz: Simple Dog. Yes, [[UpToEleven even for dog standards]].

* RealisticHumansCartoonyAnimals: Inverted. None of the pictures are drawn completely realistically, but the animals (usually dogs) have a tendency to be drawn with more complexity than the humans, who can look like they were drawn by a five-year-old.
