As he was growing up, Andrew had a knack for computers, and liked playing computer games before he transitioned to programming in languages such as Java and C++. He looked forward to learning how to make short stories in Adobe Photoshop and in Paint.

Andrew went to a local high school and had a somewhat rough childhood, since he grew up a loner, and barely participated in any games, which made him an easy victim of bullying. After he matriculated, he enrolled into Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, from which he graduated with a Computer Science degree in 2001.

Andrew likes spending his free time traveling, and has visited many US states, as well as European countries such as Germany and England.

Career

Career as a Comics Creator and Artist

Andrew made his career debut by making and uploading comics on several video game forums.

Originally, he wanted it to be a short comic (two pages) but it ended up being a whole book, and which he worked on it for close to six months. He made public the first volume of his next book – “Problem Sleuth” – in 2009, and named it “Compensation, Adequate.” Later in the year that followed, he released the second volume, “This Is Complete BS,” before releasing the third volume “Suitor to the Sodajerk’s Confidante” in the same year. In 2017, he released the fourth volume, “Black Liquid Sorrow” and then in 2019 his Volume Five, “Sepulchritude’,’ but didn’t announce whether or not it was the final volume.

Additionally, Andrew has published his “Homestuck” book, which has three volumes and is connected closely to eponymous comics.

Viz Media, a manga publisher, divided Andrew’s book into six volumes. Andrew’s latest project as a writer is “Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff.”

Social Media Presence

Similar to many celebrities, Andrew is active on several social media platforms. However, he doesn’t have a huge following since he rarely posts on Facebook; he has less than 10 posts on his Instagram, and doesn’t tweet regularly on Twitter, but nonetheless uses his latter account to update his fans about his upcoming projects, as well as his personal achievements.

Personal Life

Andrew has been keen to keep his love life away from the limelight, and hasn’t introduced anyone as his girlfriend or fiancee publicly.

Rumors have it that he once dated his high school sweetheart for around three years before they ended their affair; it’s not known why the duo called it quits, but it’s alleged that their long-distance relationship was not going well with their careers. There are other rumours that he might be gay, and several people have claimed to have seen him being very close to a mysterious male friend. Other people have noted that his Instagram pictures look very ‘gayish’ which has fuelled these rumours. He hasn’t addressed the rumors though, so as of 2021, he’s believed to be single and without children.

Controversy

By 2011, Andrew’s multimedia webcomic “Homestuck” was attracting close to 600,000 visitors daily, and according to him, ‘The bigger the fandom got, the more controversial everything was… practically everything that happened was a serious point of contention – a reason to argue, discuss, to generate pages and pages of heated dissertation on what everything means…’

Some argued that his comics were full of abortion jokes, semi-graphic rape, racism, and inappropriate feminist jokes, an allegation he dismissed during a certain interview. He explained that he has a twisted sense of humour and that he didn’t intend to offend anyone with his books and webcomics.

Physical Appearance

Andrew is of white ethnicity, and has black eyes and short brown hair. He weighs around 140lbs (64kgs) and is 5ft 3ins (1.61m) tall.

Net Worth

Andrew has generated his wealth from multiple sources, but earns most of his net worth from his successful career as an author and artist. His most important income-generating project is “Homestuck,” which has attracted many sales. As of 2021, he’s worth well over $1 million.

Not much information is known about her first marriage, such as how long the marriage lasted, however, the reason why Marjorie filed for divorce was common knowledge -Jimmy was a criminal who got life in prison for drug trafficking.

Not long after the dissolution of her marriage to Jimmy, she stumbled upon another drug dealer, Darnell Woods, with whom she welcomed three children, Jason, Lory, and Morgan. According to reports, Darnell was a gang member and had operated with the Wood Brother’s gang.

Repeating history, she divorced Darnell after he was sentenced for his involvement in drug trafficking.
