Chicago Humanities Festival: Matt Groening And Lynda Barry at University of Illinois at Chicago - UIC Forum
The remarkable run The Simpsons continues to enjoy certainly is enough to permanently secure Matt Groening's place in the highest ranks of comedy-writing heroes; that Groening is also the creative force behind the comic strip Life In Hell and beloved cartoon Futurama doesn't hurt. It's no hyperbole that Groening has achieved incredible success and wider name recognition than most of his peers, all while maintaining his nerd cred. He pays Chicago a visit as part of the Chicago Humanities Festival, where he will talk shop with long-time friend Lynda Barry, creator of Ernie Pook's Comeek and the recent graphic novel What It Is.
