I remember when there were rumors it was going to be a TV series.
Back when they started on the Tracey Ullman show?
If I’m remembering correctly, they got their start on, ‘The Tracy Ulman Show’ as just little fillers between skits. I was a huge fan back then, so I remember seeing them in their infancy.
Also, Matt Groening is very good friends with Lynda Barry, who is a very successful local cartoonist in her own right. ANY of Matt’s stand alone panel cartoons & books (Life In Hell, etc.) are just stellar. Lynda, too, of course!
