Do you ever wonder why
you like to pick scabs?
It's not good for you
and it hurts and it's messy, but
you just keep doing it. Not
waiting for the wound to heal,
you make it bigger and uglier
with every yank increasing
the chance each time that
you'll catch some sort of hor
rible infection and die in ag
ony. Reading Matt Groening's
"life is Hell" cartoons is a lot
like pulling scabs a not-particularly-pleasant
activity
that nonetheless holds a stra
nge, irresistible, unholy fasci
nation. "Work Is Hell" is Groening's
second collection of "Life In
Hell" cartoons. In the book's
first cartoon, entitled "Life In
Hell: An Introduction, " Groen
ing tells us that "Life In Hell" is
"on amusing little trifle of a
comic strip starring assorted
crudely drawn rabbits." The
rabbits are Binky, the book's
star, Sheba, his girlfriend, and
Bongo, Binky's one-eared ille
gitimate son. Also appearing
regularly are Akbar and Jeff,
two imperturbable, identical
human annoyances in Char
lie Brown shirts and fezzes.
In the first cartoon we also
learn that the five major themes
of "Life In Hell" are love, sex,
work, death and laughs; that
the "Life In Hell" philosophies
are your days are numbered, "
It's later than you think, " 'We're
all doomed" and "have a nice
day" and that the cartoonist's
name rhymes with "complain
ing." On first reading "Life In Hell,"
one is tempted to believe that
Groening is some sortofsatanic
illuminatus with cameras and
microphones planted in your
Draws

bedroom, bathroom, car and
place of business.
In truth, Groening's genius is
an ability to see into conven
tions and anxieties of the race
so ancient that the rest of us
don't even realize they exist.
When he drags these primal
taboos out into the sunlight
and waves them in our faces,
our reaction is laughter. Loud,
edgy, hysterical laughter that
can go on for minutes at a
time.
Don't get me wrong; there's
nothing gross or disgusting
about Groening's cartoons. It's
easy to ignore the gross and
the disgusting. Groening is
much more insidious than that.
This book is not quite as
effective as its predecessor,
"Love Is Hell," simply because
work is not as intrinsically
painful an experience as love.
Only about one-third of the 45
cartoons in the book actually
deal with work. If you're leery
about shelling out $5. 95 for 45
cartoons, that's understand
able, but reading.Groening is
not like reading "Dennis The
Menace. "
So, if "Life In Hell" is so un
pleasant, why is it so great?
Maybe it's kind of the intellec
tual equivalent of playing high
school football. Most of the
kids out there on the field
don't want to be there; they
don't enjoy being trampled
by 300-pound, 15-year-old
endocrine freaks. But football
is a way to prove you're a
man, a way to show you have
the fortitude to function in
adult society. Maybe literate
people need "Life In Hell" to
show they don't need the cul
tural illusions, to prove they
can face reality, to show they
can take it.
