Life is Hell

I think Matt Groening's "Life is Hell" series of comics had a profound effect on me. I bought a box set of those comics when I was fairly young that contained "Work is Hell," "School is Hell," "Love is Hell," and I think one other that I can't remember. Today, browsing around the blogs, I see that John Bruce discovered Groening's early work recently and linked to this cartoon about grad school. Obviously, I didn't heed the warnings, but thankfully, my experience to date has not matched the poor schmuck's in the cartoon. Fear not, though; doubtless, my enthusiasm and optimism will eventually be crushed. That, after all, is the inevitable result of grad school, right?
