Matt Groening turns 63 today. After graduating from college, he moved to Los Angeles and while working a variety of jobs, he began creating a comic he titled Life in Hell. One of his jobs was at a local alternative newspaper, the Los Angeles Reader, and in 1980, the paper became the first to carry Groening’s strip. As Groening became somewhat better known, he was invited, in 1985, to create a series of animated skits for The Tracey Ullman Show. Eventually the skits became a series of their own, which made its debut on Fox in 1989.

The Simpsons is now in its 28th season, and is the longest-running scripted primetime series, sitcom, and animated program in US television history. It has won over 30 Primetime Emmys, including ten for Groening himself. Groening is also the co-creator of the animated sci-fi sitcom Futurama, which aired on Fox and later on Comedy Central and brought him two more Emmys.
