26 x 31 cm
Provenance: Italian private collection
Homer Simpson is one of the most famous cartoon characters in the world. The Simpsons has been around since 1989, making it the longest-running U.S. animated series. Matt Groening, the creator of the series, sat in the anteroom of the office of James Brooks, a television producer, and within 15 minutes drew the picture of a dysfunctional family that everyone knows today. Matt named the lazy and infantile head of the family after his own father. Despite the lack of good character traits, Homer Simpson often becomes a sympathetic figure in the series.
