Overachiever, and proud of it - Matt Groening pronounced Graining

ONCE, a long time ago now, a couple called Homer and Marge had a son. Later on, this boy would be joined by two sisters, Lisa and Maggie. But first of all Homer and Marge had to decide what name to give their new son. So they ran through a list, drew up their favourites and eventually plumped for … Matt.

Fifty-five years on, Matt Groening is in Cannes to receive a clutch of awards to mark The Simpsons' 20th anniversary. Cannes has gone Simpsons-mad for the occasion. The hotel that Groening is staying in is bathed in a sulphurous yellow glow at night - the same colour as the family's skin - while huge posters of Homer, Maggie, Bart et cetera stare down from billboards all over town.ONCE, a long time ago now, a couple called Homer and Marge had a son.
