It's Not Easy To Juggle

The Simpsons And Futurama Are Such Big Projects, Going On For Years And Working In Different Media, That Everything Involved With Them, Promotion And Merchandise And Online Presence And All The Rest, Deserve To Be Scrutinized, So That's Part Of It. I Have A Great Deal Of Sympathy For Anyone At The Core Of A Multimedia Juggernaut, Even If You Might Not Care For The Specific Pop-culture Invasion Of Your Brain. The People Who Do It Work Really Hard.

I Draw A Weekly Comic Strip Called Life In Hell, Which Is Syndicated In About 250 Newspapers. That's What I Did Before The Simpsons, And What I Plan To Do For The Rest Of My Life.

A Lot Of People Believe That If Everybody Just Did What They Were Told - Obeyed - Everything Would Be Fine. But That's Not What Life Is All About. That's Not Real. It's Never Going To Happen.

Sometimes People Get Mad At The Simpsons' Subversive Story Telling, But There's Another Message In There, Which Is A Celebration Of Making Wild, Funny Stories.

As Astute Followers Of 'life In Hell' Will Notice, Akbar And Jeff Wear The Same Striped T-shirt As Charlie Brown. 'peanuts' Was Very Important To Me.
