A large compendium of the strip "Life Is Hell" by Matt Groening, creator of "The Simpsons". The art and style of humor are immediately recognizable; this is a strip that Bart Simpson would appreciate, although some of the humor would probably go right over his head. There's a few clunkers, but for the most part these are sly, sardonic, funny cartoons that delight in poking fun at all manner of authority figures, and everybody else for good measure. (
