Sinossi
Prima dei Simpson, Matt Groening ha inventato un'altra famiglia tragicamente comica. Binky, un coniglio antropomorfo dall'aria indifesa e nervosa. Sheba, la sua fidanzata, sempre accigliata e depressa. Bongo, il figlio, pieno di dubbi e perennemente inibito. E poi Akbar e Jeff, coppia di gemelli gay dall'espressione imperscrutabile. Questo il cast di una vita d'inferno! Le relazioni di coppia e quelle tra genitori e figli, il consumismo, la scuola, il mondo del lavoro, la sessualità, i pregiudizi, la religione e le grandi domande esistenziali: non c'è tema che sfugga alla satira corrosiva, tenera e insieme feroce di uno dei più grandi autori del nostro tempo.

Many of the strips are far too wordy for the small payoff. I appreciated a lot of what he was trying to say too but just didn’t find it very funny.
Rather than being amusing, the majority of this collection feels like a depressed young adult spewing out nihilistic bullshit and working through their emotional problems. About halfway through, we start seeing Matt's struggles with school as a child, through the eyes of Bongo. This is where the boo Leggi tutto
Before Futurama, and the Simpson, Matt Groening wrote a weekly comic that would get published in the smaller newspapers of America. It told the story of a family of bunnies with their gay friends Akbar and Jeff and was appropriately named, Life in Hell. If you ever find any of the old books that hav Leggi tutto
