Matt Groening talks to The Onion

Great interview with Simpsons/Futurama creator Matt
Groening in today's issue of The Onion. In it he reveals that he is often freaked out by strangers who quote obscure
Simpsons lines to him (at first he's frightened, but then relieved they're not crazy), talks about how FOX treated
Futurama, and even mentions the Simpsons/Family Guy rivalry.I don't know why, but I never got into Futurama. I thought the show looked great, but never thought it was that funny. I guess I was looking for Simpsons-level humor and found it lacking. Of course, I'm basing this on just the first season, when I last watched the show, so I probably don't know what the hell I'm talking about.
Also in The Onion: Simpsons quotes for everyday use.
