One of the funniest people in all of the Internet, Allie Brosh — who I profiled this fall — announced yesterday that she has landed a book deal. Why should you care? Because she lives in Bend, Oregon, that’s why!

Brosh, whose comic blog, Hyperbole and a Half, has quickly gained millions of views since she launched it less than two years ago, says the book will be released sometime in the fall of 2012.

She wrote this hilarious post about the book — which will feature some stories from her blog in addition to new content — and how a year and a half really isn’t that long to wait for the final product.

So yeah. Congrats, Allie!
