Matt Groening

Well I supose you all know The Simpsons no? But... you know sth about their creator? In fact every time I ask about nobody knows. For everyone, Matt Groening is the creator of The Simpsons.
In this post I'm telling you about his life.

Groening was born the 15 of February in 1954, in Portland Oregon. He went to Evergrenn high school where he started drowing funny drowings of his director. In 1977 he graduated and he went to Los Angeles to look for a job. He wanted to be a journalist but he ended being a conductor of a bus.
His life changed radically when he create a comic call Life in Hell, based on his first experiences in LA. This comic was a great succes and made him very famous.
The 8th of September in 1986 he received a phone call made by James Brooks in which he was invited to Tracey Ullman show. He was suposed to take new material so Matt drow a family called The Simpsons. That was the begining of this well-known family. In that show The Simpsons appeared for the first time in a 2-minutes-lenght sketch.
That family was claimed for everyone so the Fox managers decided to contract Matt for doing a program in 1990. This program was a great succes and became rapidly the most viewed cartoon in Fox.
Today, after 17 years they are still on air, and so far they have won a lot of prizes and appeared in a movie.
