Matt Groening is one of my favorite people
Today at Half Price, I bought three "Life in Hell" books that I didn't own. Sometimes I forget how much of who I am as a person is based on Groening's work. Much more because of Life in Hell than The Simpsons. The above pictured tome is of his early 90's post Simpsons craze work, and it's some of my favorite. While not as classic as "School is Hell" or "Work is Hell", I think the "Akbar & Jeff" era is quite amusing.
10 panels of Akbar and Jeff staring at each other. Jeff says "I hate you." Akbar says, "I love you." I crack up laughing. That's why I am who I am. Thanks Matt.
