>Futurama over >Groening no longer as involved in The Simpsons

>>88430330
He appears at cons and shit. I dunno, I doubt he really needs money anymore.

Portlandia

>>88430429
If he doesn't want to make money he could write comic books.
>>88430459
I didn't know he was involved in that.

Apparently he still wants to do Futurama. Again.

>>88430550
There is literally one way I'd be fine with this.

>does 10-episode seasons, each called "Futurama:" followed by a subtitle
>scripts not taken to production until he's happy with them
>the miniseries format is made explicit, such that it's not like seasons that people expect every year
Boom. No pressure, and he can make them as fast or as slow as he can do WELL.

>>88430643
And finally wrap up some goddamn loose ends! I need closure, dammit!

>>88430330
I find it funny how people still bring him up in discussions about new Simpsons episodes when he hasn't been involved with the show's production since the early '90s.

>>88430486
He's not. It's a joke because he's from Portland.

I heard he was working on a cartoon fantasy series for Netflix... Alas, I have no source to support this rumor.

He isn't involved in the show, but has a great appearance on it

>>88430330
His Brother in law is Craig Bartlett. So maybe Hey Arnold.

Also, props to Craig Bartlett for boning the real Lisa Simpson

IMDB has him listed as working on some mysery unnanounced title. That's it.

Does he still do life in hell?

>>88433189
Does this mean Craig is the real life Milhouse?

This is what I want him to animate next.

>>88433265
Not in almost a decade. Shame, since it's his best work.

He's in his sixties and has probably used up all the stories he has to tell at this point. Let the guy just live his life.

>>88433265
Nope, he stopped that a few years ago. I think, by the end, the number of newspapers still publishing it could be counted on two hands.

>by asking if he wants to do anything else, you're preventing him from living his life
What.

He hangs out.

>>88434254
>groening reads meg mog and owl

thats cool

I remember his life in hell was way darker than the simpsons

>>88432067
Right? Someone more knowledgeable about these things can correct me but what was his role, at all? He doesn't write the episodes or god forbid, work on the storyboards. Does he just approve episode premises? Generally oversee production?

Can't blame him though. He gets the relax for the rest of his life, all he has to do is keep his mouth shut about what he thinks of what Fox is doing with his shows and he's sittin' pretty.

>>88433291
The Radioactive Man comics had a decent run in Bongo comics heyday complete with it's own complicated characters and continuity right?

A Matt Groening superhero show would be rad.

He's apparently working on an animated Netflix series. Billy West briefly mentioned this in the last con I attended.

hmm

>>88435165
Is he the oldest living guest star?

>>88435220
At least Matt didn't fire whoever challenged his views

>>88430330
he's fucking 60 and has more money than he would ever need

he has no reason to make

>>88430550
Who the fuck is telling him no?

Networks probably. Fox didn't want it, and I don't think the CC one did to well with viewers or past fans.

The last season of Futurama was a mistake, the movies felt like a satisfactory ending and even them started to feel stale by the time the last one came out
Futurama was a great show with a lot of passion involved, if we get more Futurama I hope it's a spin-off miniseries thing and none of the characters show up, or an alternative universe or something, anything that isn't the status quo

>>88434254
Someone probably asked him to hold it for the picture, if not mat would go up a few points in my book
But let's be honest

>>88430550
Come up with something new. Stop drawing from the same wells over and over.

Here's a photo of this year's sdcc(?) >>88437391
He's given blurbs to some of the comics he's liked and the Zongo imprint published a few alt comics.

>>88431947
What loose ends are there?

>>88435220
The Simpsons Special Edition when?

groening was never that involved in the simpsons, not even back when it was good

>>88437450
He probably blows all his money on 'zines.
Plus the VAs need to get their cut or threaten to quit again.

>>88438577
This is bullshit and you know it. Matt was always involved in the writer's room if you listened to the commentary.

>>88438701
The VAs made like 200 million tops total between all of them, they're not exactly a big chunk of the 13 billion.

>>88437471
Maybe Papa Netflix will save us once again
