“Bart is trapped in a world where everyone else is struggling to be normal. Bart’s response to being normal is ‘No way, man! ’ He is irreverent; he never learns his lesson and is never repentant.” —Cartoonist Matt Groening, on his legendary left-handed cartoon creation, Bart Simpson. Simpson—whose first name is an acronym for “brat, ” and who was named one of People magazine’s “25 Most Intriguing People of 1990”—is often forced to stay after school writing contrite sentences such as “I WILL NOT INSTIGATE REVOLUTION” on the blackboard.
