Synopsis

Ride the highway to hell with Matt Groening in this collection of comic strip originals from the genius behind the Simpsons.

Are you driving yourself crazy?Then relax and leave the driving to Matt Groening as you cruise through some of the finest cartoon strips from the Life in Hell series.

Life in Hell was the syndicated newspaper cartoon strip by Matt Groening which ran in the States during the 80s and early 90s. Asked to turn the characters into TV animation, Groening instead developed The Simpsons, retaining many of the characteristics of Binky, Bongo, Sheba, Jeff and Akbar in the series. In a world where The Simpsons and Futurama are as popular as ever, these hellish cartoons featuring Matt Groening’s zany brand of comic genius are simply gold dust.
