- <p> Is that the ferryman on the river Styx? Not quite. Matt
- Groening (Gray-ning) is the creator of Life in Hell, the
- angst-driven comic strip that is breaking out of cult barriers
- and stealing into Middle America. Plans are afoot to spin off
- the cartoonist's animated, ornery Simpson family of The Tracey
- Ullman Show into a prime-time series. The strip -- with its
- traumatized rabbit Binky, the illegitimate one-eared Bongo,
- twins Akbar and Jeff and their nephews Gooey, Screwy and
- Ratatouille -- now haunts 105 publications. Notes Groening
- incredulously: "One paper wanted me to change the strip's name
- to Life in Heck." Heavens!
