Matt Groening finally threw in the towel on what launched his career; Back in the Eighties someone gave James L. Brooks a poster version of “Nine Ways to Die in LA” as a gift, thus inspiring the Oscar® winning producer/director to recruit the cartoonist.
After Life in Hell disappeared from the Austin Chronicle, I figured the strip had ended. Seemed logical, it’s impossible to find the darned thing online. What I’m hoping for is a future book containing as many strips as possible, namely Groening’s annual list of forbidden words and a particular dig at tattoos in the Nineties.
