Matt seems to be very acclaimed, since when people saw him at a comic convention, everyone went for him for an autograph. 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]
