Groening made his first professional cartoon sale of Life in Hell to the avant-garde magazine Wet in 1978. At its peak, it was carried in 250 weekly newspapers, and caught the attention of American producer James L. Brooks, who contacted Groening in 1985 about adapting it for animated sequences for the Fox variety show The Tracey Ullman Show. Fearing the loss of ownership rights, Groening created a new set of characters, the Simpson family. The shorts were spun off into their own series, The Simpsons, which has since aired 760 episodes.The most expensive item with a signature of Matt Groening (Life in Hell Bonus Fun-Fest Holiday Treat #1, signed & numbered by Matt Groening) was sold in September 2021 for £2141.96 while the cheapest item (Matt Groening Hand Signed Autograph - Signed Card of The Simpsons Creator) found a new owner for £0.99 in May 2018.
