Matt Groening is the artist/author of The Simpsons, among other oeuvres. This book should be required reading for parents, teachers, and the brave ones who must brace themselves for adulthood.
The work is "Dedicated to my parents, Homer and Margaret Groening, despite the schools I had to go to". His father's name is of course, now legend. This work of cartoonship is also--carefully crafting and presenting in cartoons, the communications used to nip, burn and bury small people when they are the most vulnerable.

Thsi came out when I was in high school, and I really thought that this Groening fellow must only be 17 himself. He was my hero -- and on the strength of "The Simpsons," he still is. I just wish I knew where the other four books from this box set are...

Matt Groening, 1954 - Matt Groening was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. He moved to Los Angeles in 1980 to start writing the comic strip "Life in Hell" for the newspaper he worked for. The strip had premiered in 1977 and appears in over 250 newspapers worldwide. Groening got his big break when the Fox television network was looking for a show more filler for "The Tracy Ullman Show." James L. Brooks had seen some of the "Life in Hell" strips and offered Groening a chance to create 30 second skits for the show. The skits were so well received that the newly titled "The Simpsons" for which Groening was now creator and executive producer of, debuted on Fox as a half hour Christmas special on December 17, 1989 and as a regular series on January 14, 1990. In 1993, Groening formed "Bongo Comics Group" which publishes "Simpsons Comics," "Itchy and Scratchy Comics," "Bartman," "Radioactive Man," "Lisa Comics" and "Krusty Comics." In 1995, he founded and published "Zongo Comics," which included "Jimbo" and "Fleener" Groening oversees all of the licensing and merchandising of the "The Simpsons." He is also a best selling author, publishing books such as "Life in Hell," "Work is Hell" and "School is Hell," based on his "Life in Hell" comic strip, and "Bart Simpson's Guide to Life" based on "The Simpsons" animation. Groening is also creator and Executive Producer of "Futurama," another animated prime time television show. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
