- See also: History.
Matt Groening was invited by James L. Brooks to animate bumpers of his comic strip, Life in Hell, between the advertisement breaks of The Tracey Ullman Show. With only a few minutes left until the meeting, Groening thought about if this all went wrong and then Fox would own his characters.[1] So, he hurriedly drew up what is now known as the Simpson family. He used names from his family to name the characters, substituting Bart for his name, an anagram for "brat". This short was written and storyboarded by Groening. The family was crudely drawn, because Groening had submitted basic sketches to the animators, assuming they would clean them up, but instead they just traced over his drawings.[1] The animation was produced at Klasky Csupo, with Wesley Archer, David Silverman, and Bill Kopp animating the short.
