Life In Hell Comics |
A Complete Overview of
Life In Hell & All of It's Comics |
Life In Hell
You may have been too young to remember Life in Hell comics (I
know I was) but it is a weekly comic strip by Matt Groening
which has developed into comic books. They are not 27-page short
monthly comic books but full publications and appear in
newspapers as a single strip.
Life in Hell features humanlike like rabbits and ironically gay
lovers. The theme explores the wonders of life from love to sex,
from work and death.
The comic strip started in 1977 by xeroxing and distributed the
comic in a small corner of a record store Groening was working
in. By the time 1980 came around, it became very popular and was
apprehended by the Los Angeles Reader and continued to grow in
fame. The comic has now been incorporated into 250 newspapers
around the world.
In the mid 1980s, Life in Hell was put into a series of books.
Just like Garfield comics, I assume Groening had a similar
ambition to publish his Life in Hell work on the internet. On
December 7, 1998 Groening registered the domain
mattgroening.com, however, the website has remained 'under
construction' since it had been registered. You can visit the
site to see if any progress has been made =).
Main Character's of Life In Hell
