Matt Groening: B/C his initials make up Homer's hair and ear!

[Jassy]

I didn't mention this on the DVD thread, but there's a "confession" by Matt Groening on disc 1 of the S6 set. Blah blah blah...glad you bought the set...personally my favorite season...great guest stars....blah blah blah.

 

[( :]

That's maybe it Cyn. I can't imagine them saying that either :lol:

Maybe it depended on the contractor. I can't imagine them saying "Let's fly in the contractor to Nevada to build it here."

 

[Vito Corleone]

I'm wondering that also. Don't have a clue.

 

[Noel C]

I wonder why they built it in Nevada?

 

[bloodsucker_023]

Susan, thanks for the link

Wow the house looks so cool I want to go to Nevada also.

 

[(&Nina)]

I remeraber hearing about this before, it's SOOOOOOOOO COOL!!!!! I REALLY want to go to Nevada and see the house!

 

[medo]

Yep. You can find a lot more pics of it here. (you'll have to scroll down a bit.) It's very cool; you can see all the different rooms in the house.

They gave a Simpsons house? Wow that's pretty awesome I wish I could've won a house like that.

Just checked some of my L.A. Weekly papers and they're not rabbits that he does :lol: I think that was just one of the comic strips for that week or something. But the comic strip is called "Life In Hell" I wish I had a scanner so I could scan them. When I go back to school in a few weeks I'll scan them

 

[taysean]

That is such a cool pic!!!!!

 

[xtreem_baseballer]

Nice pic of Matt with The Simpsons

 

[bentley]

Oh that's awesome!!!! I've never seen those!

 

[crazygirl_519]

That's true, because no matter what he does, he will always be most famous for the Simpsons.

 

[Maadddii x3]

So I know Homer is named after his son Homer. Has he named other characters after family merabers?

 

[AlmaaPattinson]

I've seen a comic strip that Matt does, it sometimes comes out on L.A. Weekly. It's about some rabbits.

 

[memac63]

Carrie, cool that you found old scans of the comic strip, thanks for the links

Yeah, I kind of want him to keep most of his focus on the Simpsons, but at the same time, I loved Futurama and the Simpsons was still doing fine when that was going on, so I don't really think the show was negatively affected by it.

It's probably hard to start new projects after doing the Simpsons though. Since it's such a classic and long-running show everyone will probably always compare everything else he does to the Simpsons.
