Failure: Everyone gets fired (while the CEO gets a big bonus)

Success: The CEO gets a big bonus (while everyone gets fired)

A true and important point, but the message I takeaway from this one is

Failure: you will wonder if there was more you could have done

Success: you will wonder if there was more you could have done

Success : you spend your whole time panicking that people will find out that you have no idea how you actually succeeded and if they realise you’re a fraud its all over




Drawn by Matt Groening, creator of The Simpson’s, Futurama, and more. Well before he did any of those.

I wonder if he still feels the same today.



He drew that shit twice. No copy/pasting panels there.


The pens got thinner, obviously to juice the stock by another 4 cents



Uuuh life in hell! More please! 🤗

You can see the Bart prototype in this one, Matt Groening is just great.




i fucking love this book. its the best thing hes ever done

Life in Hell was a comic strip in the 80s featured in most campus newspapers.



Does this comic suggest that failure and success depends on where we take data points? I.e the graph on left hand side might be a small part of the one on right hand side

That success or failure means nothing to those who stand to gain nothing from either state

Or that Matt was just really depressed
