matt groening

• babası homer'ın filme aldığı the story isimli kısa deneysel filmde hikayesini anlatan küçük velettir. daha sonra burada anlattığı hikaye the simpsons'a semirmiştir.
  
  burada da matt bey durumu şöyle açıklamış:
  
  -did your father contribute anything besides his first name?
  
  "my father was a really sharp cartoonist and filmmaker. he used to tape-record the family surreptitiously, either while we were driving around or at dinner, and in 1963 he and ı made up a story about a brother and a sister, lisa and matt, having an adventure out in the woods with animals. ı told it to my sister lisa, and she in turn told it to my sister maggie. my father recorded the telling of the story by lisa to maggie, and then he used it as the soundtrack to a movie. so the idea of dramatizing the family—lisa, maggie, matt—ı think was the inspiration for doing something kind of autobiographical with “the simpsons.” there is an aspect of the psychodynamics of my family in which it makes sense that one of us grew up and made a cartoon out of the family and had it shown all over the world."
  
  bir arkadaşımın arkadaşının annesi ile evlenmiş olması bile bende heyecan yaratmıştır. keşke tanışabilseydim kendisiyle. neyse kısmetse, başka zamana. o zamana kadar da bite my shiny metal ass.
