Life In Hell

Post by Bella Fortuna » Sun Jan 30, 2011 5:28 pm

Don't know how many of you are familiar with 'Life In Hell,' the comic strip Matt Groening did years before The Simpsons... I grew up with it being published in the local rag and remember laughing myself silly to it back in the mid-80s. I just picked up a few of the original books of the cartoons at a secondhand shop yesterday - I'd forgotten how good they are.

I remember Life in Hell :pop: I used to read them a lot in the 90s.

I like the fact that the first comic was written a year after I was born. :D
I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. [...] I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn’t frighten me. - Richard Feynman

There is a guy at work and sometimes I need to find him to get him a lost fax or who knows what. Well, I can only think of his name when I imagine:


he is not Jeff.

My absolute Favorite is the strip in which the little bunny recites his own version of The Pledge of Allegiance (what WAS his name?)..
