36 Who is Matt Groening? (Simpsons)

Matt Groening, born February 15th, 1954, is the creator of "The Simpsons"
and "Life in Hell". Intending to be a professional writer after leaving
Evergreen State College, WA (graduated in 1977 at 23), his disappointing
career in L.A. came to an end with the unexpected success of his "Life in
Hell" comic strip. It was "Life in Hell" that attracted the attention of
James L. Brooks of Gracie Films, who in 1985 invited MG to develop an idea
for a future project that later became the animated Simpsons shorts shown
during "The Tracey Ullman Show".
