PEOPLE, Page 60That's One Helluva BunnyBy Howard G. Chua-Eoan
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!
