Talk about planning for the future, Matt Greoning says that he is considering putting "D'oh" as the epitaph for his grave stone. We prefer something like "The Father of D'oh" or "The D'oh Man". In either case we hope that Matt doesn't have to decide anytime soon. He jokes, "Even if I don't put it on my grave, some fan will spray it on." Read.
Speaking of "D'oh", how did the word become so popular and widely used. Was it soley based on The Simpsons or does the word have actual historical roots. Read Here about it's past with Laurel and Hardy and how the past 13 years has changed this "English Dictionary" word.

"THE Simpsons doesn't write itself. It's just written so well that it seems that way. The characters are coloured and shaped with such vivid detail and personality, and their absurd version of the world sustained with such fine touches of constant creativity, that they might as well actually exist.
