ORIGINAL HOMER SIMPSON SKETCH Handsketched, pencil on paper 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. ORIGINAL HOMER SIMPSON-SKIZZE Handskizze, Bleistift auf Papier 26 x 31 cm Homer Simpson z?hlt zu den bekanntesten Zeichentrickfilmfiguren der Welt. Die Simpsons gibt es seit 1989, womit sie die am l?ngsten laufende US-amerikanische Zeichentrickserie sind. Matt Groening, der Erfinder der Serie, sass im Vorraum des Büros von James Brooks, einem Fernsehproduzenten, und zeichnete innerhalb von 15 Minuten das Bild einer dysfunktionalen Familie, die heute alle kennen. Matt nannte das faule und infantile Familienoberhaupt nach seinem eigenen Vater. Trotz fehlender guter Charakterzüge wird Homer Simpson in der Serie oft zum Sympathietr?ger. Die ersten Skizzen der Simpsons waren eher grob, und so wurden sie auch von Animatoren nachgezeichnet. Diese Zeichnung zeigt aber den Homer, wie wir ihn alle kennen. Siehe auch Lot 1872.notes:*
