About

Andrew Hussie (born August 25, 1979) is an American author and artist. They are best known for creating the webcomic Homestuck and similar works styled after text-based graphical adventure games hosted on their website MS Paint Adventures.

Andrew Hussie first began posting webcomics under the alias “S_O” on the website Team Special Olympics, which would go on to run from August 25, 2003, until 2008. The site would host comics, art tutorials, and articles maintained by Hussie. A variety of short comic strips, casually sustained blurbs and Scribblettes created by Andrew (S_O), their brother Byron Hussie (Byrobot) and Cindy Marie (Betelgeuse) were exhibited on Team Special Olympics alongside Hussie’s better known, longer comics Whistles: The Starlight Calliope, And It Don’t Stop and Neon Ice Cream Headache. Hussie formally announced the discontinuation of Team Special Olympics on August 10, 2007, in a news post where they would state that they would no longer post comics on the website and that it would serve as a “static archive for all the comics [they’ve] done over the years”, as Hussie’s focus had begun to shift towards maintaining MS Paint Adventures…
