Celebrity Facial Hair Friday - Matt Groening
After 20 years on television the Simpsons is coming to the big screen. That's right, hold on to your donuts. The Simpsons Movie opens next Friday July 27th. So, in honor of that unparalleled feat, this week's Celebrity Facial Hair Friday pick is Simpsons creator Matt Groening.
Hard to believe any comedy could still remain current after 20 years, but the Simpsons still manages to deliver. (The "20 years" claim should really have an asterisk next to it, since the first 2 were as interludes on the Tracy Ullman Show.) Matt Groening first came onto the national scene with his "hell" comic books - Life in Hell, Love is Hell, etc... Honestly, I never thought they were very funny. But the Simpsons showed that the man had talent.
Groening has always had a somewhat scraggly beard and mustache. I think he and Michael Moore often battle to see who can look more unkempt. He's well-manicured in this picture to the right, but there certainly have been times that Matt has looked more like Comic-Book Guy. In general it's the right look for the Simpsons creator. A clean-cut Groening would have taken away some of his cred. Instead his salt-and-pepper beard and often messy hair are more common man. More Homer. Less Burns.
