Matt Groening Ends His ‘Life in Hell’

Matt Groening Ends His ‘Life in Hell’

After 35 years Matt Groening, well-known as the visual genius behind The Simpsons, is ending his comic strip Life In Hell. Amazingly enough he’s been running Life In Hell for over 35 years now, which makes his run on The Simpsons pale in comparison.

“Life in Hell,” which introduced the aforementioned characters – three bucktoothed, anthropomorphic rabbits and a fez-wearing gay couple – first appeared in Wet Magazine in 1978, moving to L.A. Weekly and then the L.A. Reader while acquainting readers with Mr. Groening’s sardonic perspectives on childhood, dating, family and rock-music criticism.
