btw- i can't believe no one called me on that
matt groening story!
matt graduated from lincoln high in eugene, began
"life in hell" in the late 70's, the same time i got there.
before it hit, he hand delivered small runs of the strip
to the local shops, talked us out of shelf space.
if only we knew, we might've been a little nicer!

I have a three-book "Box full of hell" set. A little bio says born in Portland in 1954 and moved to LA in 1977. I remember the Simpsons stuff on the Tracy Ullman show, but who knew then either? D'oh!
