Life in Hell

Uncommon card · No. 125614

Life in Hell was a comic strip by Matt Groening that was published weekly from 1977 to 2012. Its main characters include anthropomorphic rabbits and a gay couple. The comic covers a wide range of subjects, such as love, sex, work, and death, and explores themes of angst, social alienation, self-loathing, and fear of inevitable doom. Groening presented a catalog of Life in Hell original art to Polly Platt, who purchased it as a gift for James L. Brooks. Brooks hired Groening to create animated shorts for The Tracey Ullman Show. Groening was unwilling to use his Life in Hell characters for the gig, instead creating the cast of characters based on his own family that would go on to feature in the animated sitcom, The Simpsons.
