After 32 Years, Matt Groening Retires ‘Life in Hell’
The weekly comic strip by Simpsons and Futurama creator Matt Groening once ran in 379 newspapers. But “Life in Hell” was a victim of severe cutbacks in the print industry, and now runs in just 38 papers. The last new strip ran Friday, and reruns will continue through July 13.
“Life in Hell” was born in Los Angeles, and helped launch Groening’s television career. From Poynter:
It started running in Wet Magazine in 1978, then moved to the now-defunct LA Reader, where Groening worked.
