Matt Groening
Matt Groening created "Life in Hell," a self-syndicated alternative comic strip featuring anthropomorphic rabbits, in 1977, years before he developed "The Simpsons" as a series of short animated segments for "The Tracey Ullman Show" in 1987. "The Simpsons" launched as its own half-hour series in December 1989 and went on to become the longest-running scripted primetime television series in American history, and Groening reportedly named the show's central family after his own parents and sisters, with the character Bart being an anagram of "brat." Groening later created "Futurama" in 1999, a science-fiction animated comedy that developed its own dedicated fanbase and demonstrated Groening's ability to build a second successful animated franchise beyond "The Simpsons." His combination of creating the longest-running scripted primetime series in American television history and his later success with "Futurama" has made Groening one of the most commercially significant cartoonists in the history of American animated television.
VS
Charles Schulz
Charles Schulz drew "Peanuts" continuously for nearly 50 years, from its October 1950 debut until his death in February 2000, personally writing and drawing every single strip himself without the assistant artists many successful cartoonists eventually employed. His creation of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the Peanuts cast became one of the most commercially successful comic strip franchises in history, syndicated in thousands of newspapers worldwide and expanded into numerous television specials, including "A Charlie Brown Christmas" in 1965. Schulz's work was notable for introducing genuine psychological complexity and melancholy into a medium that had previously been dominated by simpler gag-a-day humor, giving his child characters adult anxieties and existential doubts that resonated with readers far beyond the strip's ostensible young audience. His combination of nearly five decades of sole, uninterrupted authorship and his introduction of genuine emotional depth to the comic strip form has made Schulz one of the most influential and commercially significant cartoonists in American history.
