'''Matthew Abram''' "'''Matt'''" '''Groening''' (born February 15, 1954) is the creator of the comic strip ''[[Life in Hell]]'' and television series' ''[[The Simpsons]]'' and ''[[Futurama]]''. Groening made his first professional cartoon sale of ''Life in Hell'' to the avant-garde ''Wet'' magazine in 1978. The cartoon is still carried in 250 weekly newspapers. He was also interviewed in ''[[The Simpsons: Celebrity Friends]]'', ''[[The Simpsons: Mischief & Mayhem]]'', ''[[The Simpsons: Access All Areas]]'', ''[[The Simpsons 20th Anniversary Special – In 3-D! On Ice!]]'', ''[[The Simpsons: America's First Family]]'', and ''[[The Simpsons: A Culture Show]]''.

''Life in Hell'' caught the attention of [[James L. Brooks]]. In 1985, Brooks contacted Groening with the proposition of working in animation for the [[FOX]] variety show ''[[The Tracey Ullman Show]]''. Originally, Brooks wanted Groening to adapt his ''Life in Hell'' characters for the show. Fearing the loss of ownership rights, Groening decided to create something new and came up with a cartoon family, [[Simpson family|the Simpsons]], and named the members after his own parents and sisters — while [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] was an anagram of the word brat. The shorts would be spun off into their own series: ''The Simpsons'', which has since aired 530 episodes in 24 seasons as of May [[2013]]. In [[1997]], Groening got together with [[David X. Cohen]] and developed ''Futurama'', an animated series about life in the year 3000, which premiered in [[1999]]. After four years on the air, the show was canceled by Fox in [[2003]], but Comedy Central commissioned 16 new episodes from four direct-to-DVD films. In June [[2009]], Comedy Central ordered 26 new episodes of ''Futurama'', to be aired over two seasons. His advice to beginning cartoonists is to not care about what over people think and just try to make yourself laugh. He said that if he did not think up ''The Simpsons'', he would probably be in a tire shop, drawing doodles of his boss on the break room wall.

Julio Franco is a Cuban-American gay man living in Springfield.

Julio once lived as a straight man and was married to a woman named Adriatica Vel Johnson. He later came out as gay, and he and Grady became partners and moved in together. They had a three-bedroom apartment, but at one point had lost their third person and were looking for a replacement roommate.

He wandered into Springfield's Gay village, saw that Julio and Grady were looking for a roommate, and promptly moved in with them. Eventually Homer moved back home when he discovered that Marge really loved him after all...
