Matt Groening letter on Homer, Krusty and God
Back in 1990, when I was researching my Ph.D. dissertation in religious history, I found a Christian tract featuring Bart Simnpson as the sinner and Homer as the angry God. Simpsons counterfeit merch was ubiquitous. I sent it to Matt Groening and jokingly argued, since a Christian wouldn't steal someone else's intellectual property or falsely claim to have licensed it, that Groening must have plagiarized the Simpsons from the tract.
As you can see, he copped to the charge but corrected the theology.
Most of my collection of fun religious memorabilia has been dispersed to the four winds, but this is one I'll keep.
