I just found out today that the creator of Hey Arnold is married to Lisa Groening , sister to Life is Hell comic strip artist Matt Groening. Did anyone else know this? I'm actually shocked.
Matt Groening also helped out Craig with the original Hey Arnold pilot ("24 Hours to Live") doing some uncredited writing. According to Craig, it was Matt's idea to end the episode with Iggy and that other kid punching each other.
Wow, I assumed, some people knew, but not the majority. Oh well, I guess I was behind the 8-ball on this one. I'm kinda surprised she never did a voice on Hey Arnold!
At first, I thought "Lisa Groening" was Matt's wife and they got divorced.
I don't know a lot about cartoonist's personal life except for the fact that Seth MacFarlane's sister plays Hayley on American Dad. And I thiinnnkkk Mindy on Billy & Mandy.
I didn't know that Craig was a brother-in-law to Matt, but there are some that really don't have the time or attention to focus on the commentaries on the DVD, nor know what season boxset he said it on.
Must've forgotten. I've listened to every commentary to date but that factoid must've glossed over me. Do you happen to remember in which episode this was presented?
The original Hey Arnold comic strip (wayyyy before it became an animated series) was also published in simpsons illustrated (a simpsons magazine which was the predecessor for the later comic book).
