Matthew Abram Groening is an American cartoonist, television producer and writer from Portland, Oregon.
Groening is best known as the creator of The Simpsons. He is also the creator of Futurama and the author of the weekly comic strip Life in Hell. Groening distributed Life in Hell in the book corner of Licorice Pizza, a record store in which he worked.
He made his first professional cartoon sale to the avant-garde Wet magazine in 1978. The cartoon is still carried in 250 weekly newspapers.
Marge goes viral on a Jerry Springer style program reluctantly hosted by Kent Brockman.
She then becomes an unlikely spokesperson for Mayor Quimby, the ‘96 election must be still going, because now we see another campaign for Mayor.
This issue has more going for it, characters are utilised their typical ways and accurate to the TV series… pulls from classics such as “Marge VS” series of episodes and Homer is useless like in $pringfield when Marge is absent from home.
The Itchy and Scratchy cartoon is more violent than anything you’ll see on TV.
I wouldn’t have enjoyed this at 10, but today? Sure.
