I've Conducted An Experiment On My Kids.

When Will People Learn? Democracy Doesn't Work!" (homer Simpson)

For Some Reason, A Lot Of Hollywood Big Shots Are Curious To See How They'd Be Drawn With Bulging Eyes And No Chin.

I Had Been Drawing My Weekly Comic Strip, 'life In Hell,' For About Five Years When I Got A Call From Jim Brooks, Who Was Developing 'the Tracey Ullman Show' For The Brand-new Fox Network. He Wanted Me To Come In And Pitch An Idea For Doing Little Cartoons On That Show.

I May Be Biting Off More Than I Can Chew, But With 'the Simpsons' And With 'futurama,' What I'm Trying To Do In The Guise Of Light Entertainment, If This Is Possible - Is Nudge People, Jostle Them A Little, Wake Them Up To Some Of The Ways In Which We're Being Manipulated And Exploited.

'the Simpsons' Was About Children And Married Parents; 'futurama' Is About People In Between; They're Growing Up And Haven't Settled Down. Every Other Cartoon Show Seemed To Be, You Know, Dumb Dad, Bratty Kids.
