Line 2:
''Life in Hell'', (later ''Life is Swell'' in 2007), is a weekly comic strip by [[Matt Groening]]; launched in 1977 and ongoing.
''Life in Hell'' started in 1977 as a [[Underground Comics|underground comic book]] Groening used to describe life in Los Angeles to his friends. Groening photocopied and distributed the comic book to friends and sold it for two dollars a copy at the "punk" corner of the record store in which he worked. ''Life in Hell'' debuted as a comic strip in the avant-garde ''Wet'' magazine in 1978, to which Groening made his first professional cartoon sale.
The series focuses on the life of Binky, a bitter, depressed and thus "normal" rabbit stuck in a dead end job, with a bad apartment and regularly sees a therapist. The stories follow his interactions with other humanoid-animals and his misadventures as he deals with his own issues and those of the others around him.
Matt Groening has stated he will continue the strip as often as possible, though his production is strained by work on the ''[[The Simpsons]]'' and ''[[Futurama]]''.
