    Where did Matt Groening come up with the idea for "The Simpsons" and why there?

    Question #53420. Asked by eytank. (Dec 23 04 4:40 PM)


    Flynn_17

    		His mother, Margaret. His father, Homer. His little sisters, Lisa and Margaret. Everyone thinks that they're family is dysfuntcional. Matt just happened to be right.

    Matt grew up in Portland, Oregon, and spent most of his school life doodling in classes. I should imagine he thought of making a parody of his family at home.

    I mean, who hasn't sat on the settee while something stupid happened and thought 'I wish other people could see this right now'
