![]() ![]() The Big Book of Hell is a best-of compilation of strips selected from the seven book collections Love Is Hell (1986), Work Is Hell (1986) , School Is Hell (1987) , Box Full of Hell (1988) , Childhood Is Hell (1988) , Greetings from Hell (1989), and Akbar and Jeff’s Guide to Life (1989). Life in Hell became a phenomenon that spawned fifteen book collections and countless greetings cards, posters, t-shirts and other merchandising paraphernalia, and of course was the springboard for The Simpsons animated TV series. It presents the lives of two rabbits Binky and Sheba, Binky’s one-eared son Bongo, and Akbar and Jeff, two identical men wearing identical outfits and fezzes, who are “brothers or lovers or both”. ![]() Matt Groening’s Life in Hell strip appeared weekly in The Los Angeles Reader from 1980 and went on to syndication in almost 400 alternative newspapers. ![]()
