Andrew Hussie


Andrew Hussie is an American author and artist and the creator of MS Paint Adventures, a collection of webcomics that includes Homestuck as well as of several other webcomics, books, and videos.

Career

In 2007, Hussie launched the website MS Paint Adventures to host comics he had created as forum games. The most popular of Hussie's works is the webcomic Homestuck, which ran from 2009 to 2016. It tells the story of a group of four kids who play a computer game called Sburb and inadvertently cause the end of the world. A sequel, Homestuck^2: Beyond Canon, was released in late 2019.
Homestuck was on the reading list of Nick Mathewson, creator of Tor, and one of Foreign Policy magazine's top 100 global thinkers of 2012. Homestuck was also cited as evidence that the "recent rejuvenation of adventure games has legs".
Homestuck has been compared to Ulysses because of the complex and densely worded storytelling the series often utilizes.

Personal life

Despite his popularity, Hussie has managed to maintain quite a bit of secrecy regarding his personal life. In a collectable printed version of Homestuck he revealed in an author's note that he once lived in Guam, and that he has "moved well over fifty times". He currently lives in western Massachusetts.
He graduated from Temple University with a degree in computer science. He is a managing member of the company What Pumpkin, LLC.
