From his beginnings as a sardonic cartoonist (Life in Hell) to creator of TV shorts (The Tracey Ullman Show) to current day status as a multi-award-winning writer, producer, voice actor, animator (and yes, still a cartoonist), Matt Groening has achieved more than most artists ever dream of. Let’s wish him Happy Birthday as he celebrates his 62nd on Monday, February 15th.

And because, this year, it is also Presidents Day let’s dig into this classic Simpsons video clip in lieu of birthday cake. (Especially that kinda-great, kinda-scary Bender cake in the photo above, I don't want to mess with that. I swear it's watching me.)
​
 In case you’re interested – I was – Matt’s favorite foods are Vietnamese spring rolls, Thom Kha Gai soup, and bananas. If you’d like to make these dishes/send to Matt/enjoy them yourself, here are a few yummy-looking recipe links:

  • Vietnamese Shrimp Spring Rolls with Spicy Hoisin Peanut Sauce – from Bowl of Delicious blog
  • Thom Kha Gai (Chicken Coconut Soup) – from Bon Appetit
  • Black Bottom Banana Cream Pie – from Chiquita
