Life in Hell is over. funny, i thought it had died quietly while Matt Groening was busy with The Simpsons and Futurama. that it was still out there for so many years without me knowing it, that's sad.

in high school i used to make a special trip to a record store in State College to pick up a (usually week-old) copy of Pittsburgh City Paper. it brought me Life In Hell, and Savage Love, and personal ads asking for relationships that to me were the stuff of fiction. that bit of city culture was a rare commodity in my world - this was after BBSes, but long before local calls to said BBSes.

Life in Hell had sex. Life in Hell had a happy gay couple. Life in Hell was saying what i was thinking about being in school. it was there when i needed it, and for that i am forever grateful.

Same. Still have a few of the Hell books on my shelf (right next to Foxtrot and Dykes to Watch Out For.)
