Cartooning with "The Simpsons"

1993 · Book · Matt Groening

“ITS SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY THAT I WAS TEN YEARS OLD, MAN, SITTING AT MY DESK IN THE BACK OF THE CLASS, DOODLING AWAY, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TEACHER SNUCK UP, GAVE MY KNUCKLES A GOOD RAP WITH A STEEL RULER, SNATCHED UP MY DOODLES, RIPPED THEM INTO LITTLE PIECES, DROPPED THE CONFETTI IN THE WASTEPAPER BASKET, AND LECTURED ME ABOUT NOT DRAWING STUPID LITTLE CARTOONS WHEN I SHOULD BE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE FILMSTRIP ABOUT HOW BEAVERS BUILD THEIR DAMS, YOUNG MAN!”
