Signed book: Love Is Hell, ‘Special New Mini-Jumbo Edition.’ Later printing. NY: Pantheon Books, 1985. Softcover, 9 x 9, 46 pages. Signed inside the front cover in blue ballpoint, "Matt Groening, 9/16/1987," who adds a full-length sketch of Binky, with a speech bubble above inscribed in red ink: "To Deair!!!" In fine condition, with trivial toning to cover. This delightfully early sketch of Binky was drawn roughly five months after The Simpsons premiered on The Tracey Ullman Show (April 19, 1987) and a little over two years before Springfield’s finest made their Fox network debut on December 17, 1989.
