Tribute to a genius
Born on February 15, 1954 in Portland, Oregon. He began his career as a cartoonist at an early age, in fact since the first day of class, which enabled him to know very well the director's office. The same Groening stated that the more angry the director, higher quality drawings that were made. But despite the disapproval of their teachers Groening continued with his drawings.
In 1977 he graduated from Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. While he was in Evergreen, Groening spent most of his time working on the school newspaper. Later moved to Los Angeles to begin his career as a writer, that is what we really wanted to be. But instead of working in a newspaper or magazine. he did as chauffeur and biographer of an old film director who had set b 88 years.
The carrrera of Matt Groening changed radically when it created a cynical comic strip called "Life in Hell" based on his early experiences in Los Angeles. The comic focused on a rabbit drawn very simple strokes named Binky. Other characters were Sheba, Binky's girlfriend and two identical characters called Akbar and Jeff, like Charlie Brown mutated. "Life in Hell" debuted in Los Angeles Readers, a weekly newspaper where Groening served as editor. The comic became a great success for Matt and his work. After 10 years of existence is present in over 200 newspapers in the United States and Canada.
Several books Groening as: "The school is hell", "Love is hell", "Work is hell", "The great book of hell," "Guide to the lives of Akbar and Jeff," " A Guide for the love of death ", etc.. can be found at any local bookstore. The race Groening, anyway, not ended there.
On September 8, 1986 the Simpsons made their debut as a "sketch" of 2 minutes on the Tracey Ullman Show. According to Groening received a call from James Brookes, who wanted to make an animation for the famous program. Groening quickly drew five new characters for the presentation (made in 15 minutes); characters who inevitably will gain a lot of followers. This was the first experience of animation for Groening.
The Simpsons won immediate acclaim from critics and supporters in 1990 when it debuted as the largest programme of the Fox audience. Over the next 8 years the series has won an Emmy Award (the "Oscars" of television) and made history by becoming the animated series of longer duration.
Although the Simpson family is not based on the family of Matt Groening, their names if they are: the father and son Matt are called Homer. Her mother called Margaret and the names of his sisters Lisa and Maggie are small. Bart, on the other hand, is changing the word "brat", which in English means "punk". Groening insists that Bart is not a portrait of himself. Other characters as the chief Wiggum, are inspired by names of some streets where Groening grew up.
With the success of the series Matt continued to work with Bongo Comics, and has published several titles like "Simpsons Comics," "Radioactive Man", "Bartman" and "Scratch and Pica." It has also created two special series of comics called Lisa Krusty Comics and Comics. Another number of Simpsons comic has been published with titles such as "Guide to the lives of Bart," "The book's rainy day fun", "Putting faces with the Simpsons" and "Album of the Simpsons family." The market for T-shirts, posters and video games is also very popular among fans.
Since its debut in Tracey Ullman Show, the Simpsons has become the most popular animated series in the world.

Finally the complete biography of Matt Groening:
Matt Groening
(Portland, 1950) Cartoonist and American Comics, creator of the cartoon series The Simpsons. Matt Groening was born in the U.S. city of Portland, Oregon in 1954. His father, Homer Groening was a professional cartoonist, which undoubtedly encouraged the small Matt to follow in his footsteps.
In fact, she spent hours drawing class, resulting in too many occasions to visit the office of director. His experience at the institute was not too different; remained unattended explanations of their teachers and drawing, and were encouraged to collaborate in the newspaper of the institute, which ended echándole. Shortly thereafter, he and his friends hippies created his own political party, The Teens for Decency ( 'Teens for decency'), generating confusing political slogans that earned them many enmities.
Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons
Because of their bad marks, Matt Groening, ended up in the public university in Olympia, where they were not very demanding, receiving various kinds of artistic disciplines. Finally managed to graduate in 1977, when it decided leaving for Los Angeles with the intention of becoming a professional writer.
"Life in Hell", so the difficult years
His early experiences in Los Angeles were disappointing at all levels; lived in a small, noisy apartment, the city overwhelmed him, had bad experiences professionals and the only work he found was to write the biography of a pathetic and octogenarian filmmaker famous for their bad movies.
That ordeal took him a good day to write a letter to his parents, but not a conventional letter. This was a cartoon in which narrated by the hell was going on.
This was the genesis of what would be his first successful work: a series of comics titled "Life in Hell '(' Life in Hell '), which was originally published in the weekly Los Angeles Readers, which Groening was editorial coordinator, and who narrated the misfortunes of a rabbit named Binky, a being antropomorfizado, lonely and absolutely neurotizado, which soon enjoyed some success in the panorama of American underground comix. Over the years, "Life in Hell" went from being edited in a small weekly to appear in a total of 200 newspapers around the world, their stories being collected in several books.
The origin of The Simpsons
In 1985 Matt Groening received a call that changed his life. James L. Brooks, a renowned director and producer with several Oscars and Emmys to its credit, had read "Life in Hell", and wanted Groening will propose an idea to create animated shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show. This variety program, which enjoyed great success and was introduced by the British singer and actor Tracey Ullman, looking for characters to become the protagonists of cortinillas to be passed before and after the publicity.
According to legend (Groening has never denied) was fifteen minutes before their appointment with Brooks when the creator of The Simpsons abocetó a role in the five components of a family. It was the father (Homer), mother (Marge), two daughters (Lisa and Maggie) and a son (Bart). Groening sought the names of his characters among members of his family: Homer was the name of his father; Marge, the affectionate nickname of his mother, Lisa and Maggie and the names of their smaller sisters. For Brooks and his team liked the idea and forty-eight short he wrote began to broadcast in 1988.
Executives from the Fox television channel that broadcast The Tracey Ullman Show, Groening and Brooks proposed to convert these characters in the protagonists in a series that, at present, would have thirteen chapters in half an hour. As the saying goes, the rest is history.
A series of worship
Since he began broadcasting in 1989 The Simpsons, its success would only grow, reaching hundreds of chapters occur. In fact, The Simpsons is an animated series aimed at adult audiences but, in which Homer is a lazy few lights, alcoholic for more details, who works at a nuclear power station, surrounded by family members very unconventional.
Marge, mother, is an eccentric hairstyle with a sentimental blue whose form recalls that of the bride of Frankenstein and a cold-blooded that espanta; Lisa, the largest of the daughters, is the rare family, a person Intelligent and even somewhat pedantic, with emotional problems, which in no way resembles her parents; small Maggie, almost a baby, is practical and peaceful in all their actions, and Bart, the mischievous Bart, is a small monster which sows chaos and confusion where there's going.
The series is fictional environment in a city that bore the name of many American populations, Springfield, a microcosm that concentrates its activity in the nuclear power plant, track, football stadium, the courthouse, city hall, shopping mall and bar of Moe, and whose founder was a pirate named jebediah Springfield.
In this context, The Simpsons was from the outset as a series with a tone very critical of society and American culture in general. His characters are by no means models, quite the opposite: Most individuals are schizophrenic, jealous and zizañeros seeking ways of doing harm to others and show what is more self-centered. Specifically, men are shown as being incapable, clumsy and slipshod, while women are educated, strong and intelligent.
Groening shows the darker side of human beings in The Simpsons, of course with a sense of humor and caricature that are a constant in the series of animation, but without any miramiento towards their creations and towards society and American politics in general, which has generated some small conflict.
The Simpsons, a series that has won Emmy Awards and has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, has also been distinguished by their appearance in the continuing chapters of famous actors, actresses and singers, including Paul McCartney, Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, Britney Spears, Leonard Nimoy, Christina Ricci, Winona Ryder, Sting and Jack Lemmon.
Of course, with the caustic tone, breaking and highly critical of the series, none of them appeared precisely as an angel, but apparently were taken pretty well all its caricatured. The Simpsons became very soon in a series' cult ', very popular, followed by 60 million viewers in 60 countries. In Spain began to broadcast in 1991.
Merchandising and new projects
Over time, the Simpsons have become the protagonists of a comprehensive merchandising, which includes mugs, clothing, CDs, video games, dolls and comic books. In 1993 Groening, who, remember, started drawing comics, founded the company Bongo Comics, publisher of comic books feature the Simpsons and other new characters in titles like Simpsons Comics, Radioactive Man, Bartman, Itchy & Scratchy Comics, Lisa Comics , Krusty Comics or Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror.
But the success of The Simpsons did not prevent further demonstrate that Groening is a restless creator, and so, in 1999, began broadcasting a new series of animation for television, conceived by him and entitled Futurama. Like The Simpsons, Groening was the creator and executive producer, and his team conducted an extensive research work in the genre of science fiction and documented to avoid criticism from the experts.
In a graphic style and content very similar to The Simpsons, Futurama tells the story of Fry, a couple of pizza deliverymen in one of his trips visit a genetic laboratory and, by accident, just frozen in life. Fry awakens thousand years later in 3000, to discover that everything has changed a lot, and we must adapt to new times. Fry will share his adventures with characters as unique as an attractive extraterrestrial of an eye or a robot with problems with drinking, and more specifically with oil, so it suffers from "petrol".
The popularity of Matt Groening has led him to participate in several television series and shows Americans, as Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Glen Campbell, The Tonight Show Johnny Carson or Starry Late Night With David Letterman. In addition to The Simpsons and Futurama, Groening has continued drawing the series' Life in Hell ", and lives with his wife and two sons, Abraham y. .. Homer. Surely, Matt Groening has not yet spoken its last word on the creative aspect, so it is very likely that his re-birth mind the odd character who revolutionize society of the twenty-first century.
Matt Groening not only has the honor of having created the most popular animated series on television, has also shown that cartoons may be directed to adult audiences. In fact, The Simpsons are today, the number of American animation more years has occupied a prime time televised grilling from The Flintstones, a historic landmark. To this must be added the satirical tone and even cruel in the series, which has made it one of the most critical of the television in his country.
Well I hope they serve more ... Luckily there are information of the world's most famous family!

Original
The Simpsons is, as a whole, a criticism of all aspects of American society, its lifestyle, its society, its values, its prejudices, its political system. Therefore, this series will qualify for adults.
The series is characterized by having a stamp that shows itself in each chapter. The start of the episodes was essentially the same, but with slight changes.
They are clouds on Springfield, and down the nuclear power plant. Following this shows the school and the sentence (other than in each chapter) to make Bart to write on the blackboard as punishment. Then the bell rings, and it leaves the school on his skateboard (skate), traveling across town to his house. Then Homer manipulating carbon rods in the nuclear power station, you hear the horn of lunchtime, unties tongs with which handles the bar and he sticks to his back, but he will realize. The next scene takes place in a supermarket. Marge is going on the purchase by the box, and employee passes through the laser to Maggie, as if it were an item. At the moment is that its price is 847.63 dollars. Later Lisa is playing the saxophone in the school banda. Suddenly he just improvised and exits toward his home. The map below shows Homer driving and remove the back bar of carbon, launched by the window. Bart, who is on his skate, is covered. Then they go to Marge driving next to Maggie. Finally, Homer comes to the garage of his house, Bart jumps on his car, Lisa pretty much run with your bike and Marge appears with his car, chasing her husband. The next level the way the gag of the sofa, always different, and the TV screen showing the credits.
BART phrases on the blackboard
One such change occurs in the part in which shows the kind of Bart from outside, through a window. You can see Bart writing on the blackboard a sentence as punishment. These phrases are often humorous and in some cases even philosophical. The phrases punishment by Bart appeared in the second episode (Bart is a Genius) and have since appeared in nearly every chapter.
These are the first ten phrases appeared in the history of The Simpsons:
* Avoid wasting the chalk (Bart is a genius).
* Not go back to skate in the aisles (Homer's Odyssey).
* No. I eructar class (Home, sour home).
* Do not instigate the revolution (The blues of the Mona Lisa).
* Does not draw naked women in class (abobinable man of the forest).
* I have not seen Elvis (The head nuts).
* The gum garlic are bad manners (Viva harvest).
* Laugh at me, not me (Krusty enters Chiron).
* Do not shout "fire" with the house full of people (The babysitter strikes again).
* Not encourages others to fly (Bart suspended).
Drugs
The allusions to drugs are very common: Homer smoking marijuana, getting drunk, and so on. In the chapter in which a guess predicts that Lisa reach the presidency of the United States, Bart tells "legalízala." There are also several times in which Marge wondered "What is Bart doing?" Homer replied "I do not know. Is Selling drugs?" In a chapter in which some crows damage the eyes of Homer, we prescribe marijuana to withstand pain and obviously Homer was hooked.
Homosexuality
They have left many homosexuals in the series, apart from being legalized gay weddings in Springfield with the aim of attracting profits. The best known are Waylon Smithers (the assistant Mr. Burns), Patty (Marge's sister), and all steelworks "AJAX" americas. In one episode where an Indian shows his future to Bart, shows the children of Ned Flanders cleaning a piece of furniture in a very amanerada. It is commonly thought that Milhouse Van Houten has homosexual tendencies because the psychologist in an episode of the school let him glimpse the family Simpson. Was also raised that the "famous" movie star Troy McClure was gay, and even hinted that there was improper things with fish. To remove the rumor married Selma, Marge's sister. The same Homer went to live with two gay when he was a crisis in their marriage.
In addition there have been many other occasions where he has appeared in or been hinted homosexuality in the series as in the film festival in Springfield when the chief Wiggum said "at last I maquillarme." It has also been hinted much about homosexuality Lenny and Carl (in that episode of gay weddings, Homer was "ordered" priest and deal with cases, to what Marge "no hardship, they must resolve for themselves" . The same Homer is often placed in situations amaneradas. It has even come to insinuate the same thing with Bart and grandfather in ways that more evident.
Another time in the series where homosexuality is presented, is when Kent Brockman's happening on television a number of names, which he says are homosexuals, but at a speed that can not be levied. Among the names are Matt Groening (creator of the series and first on the list), Jhony Neutrino (an obvious parody of Jimmy Neutron, the boy genius) and the symbol for a time used the composer and singer Prince to replace his name.
The naked
The nudity is something that is almost in every episode. For some, naked in Los Simpson is an essential factor in the comedy series. Homer emphasize in this field, Marge just went completely naked in the latest episode of the ninth season: Is Marge, I slept with The Danger?. Bart has left naked in the series almost as much as his father and Lisa is the only family that has not taught the rear. A Maggie simply because he has been seen as a naked baby. However, in any episode of The Simpsons have appeared genitals of any inhabitant of Springfield, nor the breasts of any woman. In the episode Pica, Rasca and Marge, showing genitals The statue of David, Michelangelo, a unique case in the series.
Violence
The fights in the series are also frequent episodes in both normal and in the special Halloween and Rasca and Pica (in Latin America and Tomy Daly). A classic element is the frequent attempted strangulation of Bart by Homer, accompanied with the cry of "Little devil!" (Spain in what is often argued that Homer "Te voy a. ...". Also, although pass unnoticed, when Bart bothers Lisa so cruel as it strangles equal to or stronger than Homer.
Death
The deaths often occur in special Halloween. An exception would be those of Maude Flanders and "bleeding gums" Murphy. Another referred to death outside the special Halloween is the Frank Grimes, a co-worker of Homer who died electrocuted after suffering an attack of anger against it. When Dr. Marvin Monroe was believed dead for seven seasons. In the chapter where Marge wrote the book The Heart harpoon, appears Dr. Marvin Monroe, said he was very sick. This is contradictory because the series have appeared in his grave and a hospital and a school gym in his name.
Weapons
References generated by the series on the subject of the use of weapons is treated in a very subtle little (in the same manner that all issues are addressed in the series). These are the people who use them as citizens little sane and without a real appreciation for life ... whether humans or animals.
One of the chapters that more talks about this issue is one in which Homer wants to buy a gun, entered the store and select one (but not before being announced and fired without being charged, the owner) but then learns that has a minimum waiting five days and then said "five days, but I am angry today"; past 5 days you say: "Research has shown that you are a dangerous person, therefore can not have more than three weapons ".
Nor can we forget that Maggie Simpson shot Mr. Burns and it's hiding a shotgun in his crib with Homer who saved a firefight with some mafia. It is also known that Bart has an incredible ability with the weapons they supposedly won in public schools.
Religion
The references to Christianity Protestant, are a costante in the series, Marge is very believer, while the rest of the family gives them the same faith and religion. Flanders is the most believer in the series and his whole life is based on faith and God. However, there have been several references to the Rev. Lovejoy is an atheist. Lisa Simpsons is Buddhist (like Lenny and Carl) resigned to cristanismo in the chapter in which Homer destroyed the church and Mr Burns reconstructs the converted into a business. It also makes many references to other religions such as Judaism and Hinduism. It must be remembered when Homer, Bart, Lisa and Maggie join a sect as well as the entire city, except Marge, the family Flanders and Reverend Lovejoy. Also worth mentioning that throughout the series has been made many references to God does not exist and that all religions are a fraud, the most obvious was when Homer becomes intelligent and discovers making tax returns that God does not exist. In the last chapter of the season 16, setting up a debate between Christians and Catholics protesantes almost led to war, at the end when everything is calm agree in combat homosexuality and stem cells (of course ironic and criticizing the stance of Christianity) at the end of the chapter shows that a thousand years later, Bart has become a messiah and humanity lives in war by the two religions that have emerged from Bart. In one episode Homer said that God is your favorite fictional character.

They are clouds on Springfield, and down the nuclear power plant. Following this shows the school and the sentence (other than in each chapter) to make Bart to write on the blackboard as punishment. Then the bell rings, and it leaves the school on his skateboard (skate), traveling across town to his house. Then Homer manipulating carbon rods in the nuclear power station, you hear the horn of lunchtime, unties tongs with which handles the bar and he sticks to his back, but he will realize. The next scene takes place in a supermarket. Marge is going on the purchase by the box, and employee passes through the laser to Maggie, as if it were an item. At the moment is that its price is 847.63 dollars. Later Lisa is playing the saxophone in the school banda. Suddenly he just improvised and exits toward his home. The map below shows Homer driving and remove the back bar of carbon, launched by the window. Bart, who is on his skate, is covered. Then they go to Marge driving next to Maggie. Finally, Homer comes to the garage of his house, Bart jumps on his car, Lisa pretty much run with your bike and Marge appears with his car, chasing her husband. The next level the way the gag of the sofa, always different, and the TV screen showing the credits.
BART phrases on the blackboard
One such change occurs in the part in which shows the kind of Bart from outside, through a window. You can see Bart writing on the blackboard a sentence as punishment. These phrases are often humorous and in some cases even philosophical. The phrases punishment by Bart appeared in the second episode (Bart is a Genius) and have since appeared in nearly every chapter.
These are the first ten phrases appeared in the history of The Simpsons:
* Avoid wasting the chalk (Bart is a genius).
* Not go back to skate in the aisles (Homer's Odyssey).
* No. I eructar class (Home, sour home).
* Do not instigate the revolution (The blues of the Mona Lisa).
* Does not draw naked women in class (abobinable man of the forest).
* I have not seen Elvis (The head nuts).
* The gum garlic are bad manners (Viva harvest).
* Laugh at me, not me (Krusty enters Chiron).
* Do not shout "fire" with the house full of people (The babysitter strikes again).
* Not encourages others to fly (Bart suspended).
Drugs
The allusions to drugs are very common: Homer smoking marijuana, getting drunk, and so on. In the chapter in which a guess predicts that Lisa reach the presidency of the United States, Bart tells "legalízala." There are also several times in which Marge wondered "What is Bart doing?" Homer replied "I do not know. Is Selling drugs?" In a chapter in which some crows damage the eyes of Homer, we prescribe marijuana to withstand pain and obviously Homer was hooked.
Homosexuality
They have left many homosexuals in the series, apart from being legalized gay weddings in Springfield with the aim of attracting profits. The best known are Waylon Smithers (the assistant Mr. Burns), Patty (Marge's sister), and all steelworks "AJAX" americas. In one episode where an Indian shows his future to Bart, shows the children of Ned Flanders cleaning a piece of furniture in a very amanerada. It is commonly thought that Milhouse Van Houten has homosexual tendencies because the psychologist in an episode of the school let him glimpse the family Simpson. Was also raised that the "famous" movie star Troy McClure was gay, and even hinted that there was improper things with fish. To remove the rumor married Selma, Marge's sister. The same Homer went to live with two gay when he was a crisis in their marriage.
In addition there have been many other occasions where he has appeared in or been hinted homosexuality in the series as in the film festival in Springfield when the chief Wiggum said "at last I maquillarme." It has also been hinted much about homosexuality Lenny and Carl (in that episode of gay weddings, Homer was "ordered" priest and deal with cases, to what Marge "no hardship, they must resolve for themselves" . The same Homer is often placed in situations amaneradas. It has even come to insinuate the same thing with Bart and grandfather in ways that more evident.
Another time in the series where homosexuality is presented, is when Kent Brockman's happening on television a number of names, which he says are homosexuals, but at a speed that can not be levied. Among the names are Matt Groening (creator of the series and first on the list), Jhony Neutrino (an obvious parody of Jimmy Neutron, the boy genius) and the symbol for a time used the composer and singer Prince to replace his name.
The naked
The nudity is something that is almost in every episode. For some, naked in Los Simpson is an essential factor in the comedy series. Homer emphasize in this field, Marge just went completely naked in the latest episode of the ninth season: Is Marge, I slept with The Danger?. Bart has left naked in the series almost as much as his father and Lisa is the only family that has not taught the rear. A Maggie simply because he has been seen as a naked baby. However, in any episode of The Simpsons have appeared genitals of any inhabitant of Springfield, nor the breasts of any woman. In the episode Pica, Rasca and Marge, showing genitals The statue of David, Michelangelo, a unique case in the series.
Violence
The fights in the series are also frequent episodes in both normal and in the special Halloween and Rasca and Pica (in Latin America and Tomy Daly). A classic element is the frequent attempted strangulation of Bart by Homer, accompanied with the cry of "Little devil!" (Spain in what is often argued that Homer "Te voy a. ...". Also, although pass unnoticed, when Bart bothers Lisa so cruel as it strangles equal to or stronger than Homer.
Death
The deaths often occur in special Halloween. An exception would be those of Maude Flanders and "bleeding gums" Murphy. Another referred to death outside the special Halloween is the Frank Grimes, a co-worker of Homer who died electrocuted after suffering an attack of anger against it. When Dr. Marvin Monroe was believed dead for seven seasons. In the chapter where Marge wrote the book The Heart harpoon, appears Dr. Marvin Monroe, said he was very sick. This is contradictory because the series have appeared in his grave and a hospital and a school gym in his name.
Weapons
References generated by the series on the subject of the use of weapons is treated in a very subtle little (in the same manner that all issues are addressed in the series). These are the people who use them as citizens little sane and without a real appreciation for life ... whether humans or animals.
One of the chapters that more talks about this issue is one in which Homer wants to buy a gun, entered the store and select one (but not before being announced and fired without being charged, the owner) but then learns that has a minimum waiting five days and then said "five days, but I am angry today"; past 5 days you say: "Research has shown that you are a dangerous person, therefore can not have more than three weapons ".
Nor can we forget that Maggie Simpson shot Mr. Burns and it's hiding a shotgun in his crib with Homer who saved a firefight with some mafia. It is also known that Bart has an incredible ability with the weapons they supposedly won in public schools.
Religion
The references to Christianity Protestant, are a costante in the series, Marge is very believer, while the rest of the family gives them the same faith and religion. Flanders is the most believer in the series and his whole life is based on faith and God. However, there have been several references to the Rev. Lovejoy is an atheist. Lisa Simpsons is Buddhist (like Lenny and Carl) resigned to cristanismo in the chapter in which Homer destroyed the church and Mr Burns reconstructs the converted into a business. It also makes many references to other religions such as Judaism and Hinduism. It must be remembered when Homer, Bart, Lisa and Maggie join a sect as well as the entire city, except Marge, the family Flanders and Reverend Lovejoy. Also worth mentioning that throughout the series has been made many references to God does not exist and that all religions are a fraud, the most obvious was when Homer becomes intelligent and discovers making tax returns that God does not exist. In the last chapter of the season 16, setting up a debate between Christians and Catholics protesantes almost led to war, at the end when everything is calm agree in combat homosexuality and stem cells (of course ironic and criticizing the stance of Christianity) at the end of the chapter shows that a thousand years later, Bart has become a messiah and humanity lives in war by the two religions that have emerged from Bart. In one episode Homer said that God is your favorite fictional character.
