Live at BAM: Renowned cartoonists discuss 40 years of friendship
‘Simpsons’ Creator Matt Groening and ‘Ernie Pook's Comeek’ Author Lynda Barry Reminisce in Brooklyn
Creative people: Ever wonder what advice Matt Groening and Lynda Barry would impart upon you and your ilk? Basically the same thing Nike told us for a decade. Just do it.
Matt Groening, creator of “The Simpsons,” and Lynda Barry, his boon companion from the days when the two attended the Evergreen State College, in Olympia, Wash. — herself the author of a comic strip that ran for three decades — hosted a talk Thursday night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM). The duo had the audience in stitches for much of the event, telling stories about their younger days and their influence upon one another throughout their long careers.
