School is Hell

Educate yourself with this comic compendium of cartoon strips from the genius behind The Simpsons.

From kindergarten to graduation, this is a snapshot of school-life, featuring the befezzed duo Akbar and Jeff as well as Blinky, Bongo and Sheba the fuzzy rabbits, from the definitive doodler Matt Groening.

The most hellish subject of all – school – is the subject of this vital tome, as Matt turns to his well of wit and wacky wizardry to create a comicopia of childhood. Lessons include: How to drive a crazy teacher crazier (includes: 3 annoying ways to ask to go to the lavatory).

Teacher’s can be illuminated too, with the Teacher’s Guide to Words that Make Kids Snicker.

Life in Hell was the syndicated newspaper cartoon strip by Matt Groening which ran in the States during the 80s and early 90s. Asked to turn the characters into TV animation, Groening instead developed The Simpsons, retaining many of the characteristics of Binky, Bongo, Sheba, Jeff and Akbar in the series. In a world where The Simpsons and Futurama are as popular as ever, these hellish cartoons featuring Matt Groening’s zany brand of comic genius are simply gold dust.
