Maggie Simpson
Over the years, we've
watched Maggie grow from
a cute pacifier-sucking
infant into a cute
pacifier-sucking infant
who's said her first word,
"Daddy." Having learned
one new word in five years,
Maggie places just behind
Bart and slightly ahead of Homer in vocabulary
development. For an infant who can neither talk nor
walk with any consistency, Maggie nonetheless
leads an exciting and rewarding life. She is perhaps
proudest of the baby escape she led at the
Springfield Daycare Center. Maggie is almost
always in a good mood, although once she did
develop a rivalry with the mysterious
one-eyebrowed baby who lives down the street.
Angry pacifier sucks were exchanged.

Matt Groening,
creator and
executive producer
of FOX's Emmy
Award-winning
series The
Simpsons, made
television history by
bringing animation
back to prime time, creating an immortal nuclear
family.
Originally brought to life in 1987 for FOX's Emmy
Award-winning series "The Tracey Ullman Show,"
The Simpsons was Groening's introduction into the
animation world. Previously, he was best known for
his "Life in Hell" cartoon strip, an irreverent portrayal
of broken life that debuted in 1977 and currently
appears in more than 250 newspapers worldwide.
In 1993 he formed "Bongo Comics Group," whereby
he serves as publisher over the following:
"Simpsons Comics," "Itchy & Scratchy Comics,"
"Bartman," "Radioactive Man," "Lisa Comics" and
"Krusty Comics. A successful series of trading
cards also has evolved. In 1995 he founded and
published "Zongo Comics," which included "Jimbo"
and "Fleener."
In addition to producing his weekly strip, keeping on
top of the ongoing production demands of the
weekly television series, and meeting regularly with
the Bongo team, Groening oversees all aspects of
the licensing and merchandising of The Simpsons.
Groening's best-selling books, based on "Life in
Hell" and The Simpsons, include "Love is Hell,"
"Work is Hell," "School is Hell," "The Big Book of
Hell," "Akbar & Jeff's Guide to Life," "Love is Hell
10th Anniversary Edition," "Binky's Guide to Love,"
"The Simpsons Xmas Book," "The Simpsons Rainy
Day Fun Book," "Making Faces With The
Simpsons," "Bart Simpson's Guide To Life," "The
Simpsons' Uncensored Family Album," "Cartooning
With The Simpsons," "Simpsons Illustrated"
magazine, "Simpsons Comics & Stories" comic
book, "Simpsons Comics Extravaganza," "Simpsons
Comics Spectacular," "Bartman: The Best of The
Best" and "Simpsons Comics Simps-O-Rama."
Groening, a native of Portland, OR, resides with his
family in Los Angeles.
