Audible® was not granted digital rights to today's entire program. Instead, we bring you cartoonist, writer, and Simpsons creator Matt Groening on this edition of Fresh Air.

Matt Groening began his career as a rock critic before going on to create the much-loved cartoon series The Simpsons. He's also the creator of the TV series Futurama and still draws the weekly comic strip Life in Hell, seen in (mostly alternative) newspapers nationwide. Groening also edited Da Capo Best Music Writing 2003: The Year's Finest Writing on Rock, Pop, Jazz, Country & More. The feature film The Simpsons Movie, which he co-wrote, opens in theaters today. (Original Airdate: 12/18/2003) [Broadcast Date: July 27, 2007]

Then, pick up My Life as a 10-Year-Old Boy by Nancy Cartwright, and learn more about The Simpsons.
