Matt told them they can also take a bit of his 'stache, as they say it's good luck.[1] However, when Homer sees a drawing of Bongo the Rabbit by Matt Groening (from his comic Life in Hell) he says Matt is not even a good artist.[2] He was once hired to draw a caricature of Freddy Quimby in a trial.[3] When Kent Brockman presented a list of people who are gay, Groening was on the list.[4]
According to Channel 6, Matt Groening is gay, as he appears in a list in which all gay people appear.[4] He is also in Comic Book Guy's banned list in the Android's Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop, along with Sideshow Bob, Nelson, Bart and Milhouse.[5]
When some "Everyman" comic books were being loaded in a truck, Matt Groening stole all of them and threw them into his truck.[6]
