Binky’s Guide to Love – Matt Groening (HarperPerennial Hardcover, 1992)

Before The Simpsons took over the world, Matt Groening was drawing deeply unhinged, painfully accurate cartoons about life, love, and existential dread in his syndicated strip Life in Hell. Binky’s Guide to Love is one of the classic collections — an oversized, chaotic, hopelessly relatable guide to romance according to a neurotic cartoon rabbit. Inside you get: • 120+ cartoons from the height of the Life in Hell era • More than 30 “love secrets” that absolutely should not be used in real life • First-date conversational disasters • Spot-the-red-flag exercises (Groening was ahead of his time) • Feral relationship wisdom dressed up as humour This is peak early-90s Groening: messy, cynical, weird, and very, very funny. Note to collectors: This is the 1992 HarperPerennial hardcover — not the later softcover reprint. Your copy shows some real-life love wear: bumped corners, damage to both ends of the spine, and creasing/chipping to the dust-free paper boards. Interior pages remain clean and intact, so it still reads perfectly.
