Today's Webtip: Life in Hell

a tribute from the Center for Cartoon Studies.

Life in Hell was an awesome alternative panel comic that cut through the crap of 80's mainstream culture and served up entertaining insights into the adult world I wasn't looking forward to entering. It also gave birth to the Simpsons. A very good thing indeed.

Despite the success of his animated series, Matt Groening continued to deliver Life in Hell for over 30 years, finally calling it quits this summer. A sad moment for many comic fans, but one that I can live with since it means more Futurama.

It also inspired a few famous cartoonists to get together and create a tribute poster. One that has been made freely available to print out and enjoy.

Too Hell With You Matt Groening features the work of 22 of Matts friends and fans, and is being hosted by the Center for Cartoon Studies.

Yes, you can get a Masters degree in Cartooning.

    I sent away for a Life is Hell comic book (which was only available to buy directly on the West Coast of the USA at the time and i was in the suburbs of Toronto) secretly using my Dad's credit card back in 1983. I got in MAJOR trouble for that but now my Dad insists that his daughter (me)recognised Matt Groening's genius before anybody else did. Hahahahaha.
