| 1 | * LongRunner: Ran weekly for 35 years. |
| 2 | * MagnumOpusDissonance[=/=]WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally, Creator/MattGroening was going to use the comic as animated filler for ''Series/TheTraceyUllmanShow'', but after realizing that he would have to give up the rights to his creation, Groening (while waiting to pitch his idea to Creator/JamesLBrooks) drew up some crudely drawn humans and named them ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. That's right; had Groening actually gone along with pitching ''Life in Hell'', there would be no ''Simpsons''. Meanwhile, the show became a cultural phenomenon while the strip stayed underground. |
| 3 | * MoneyDearBoy: The primary reason Creator/MattGroening didn't give up the rights. He was financially dependent on the merchandising at the time and would've lost some (if not all) of the cash to Fox if they made a deal. |
