This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Matt Groening (1954) started off in 1977 as a underground cartoonist, best known for his comic strip Life in Hell. Influenced by Peanuts, Underground Comics and cult artists like Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart and The Fugs the comic is perhaps Groening's most personal work. Its central characters are two gay little men called Akbar and Jeff and a white rabbit family. The cartoons already poked fun at topics that Groening would later attack in his animated shows: politics, religion, school, family, work, relationships and modern society in general. The comic became a cult success and by the mid-1980s Groening was approached by James L. Brooks to make an animated TV adaptation of it. Initially Groening agreed, until he learned that he would lose the rights to the comic strip. So instead, he came up with a totally new concept, which became The Simpsons. |
