Funny 1969 short film by Matt Groening's father Homer
Amy Crehore alerted me to this funny short film by Homer Groening, "Basic Brown, Basic Blue" (1969).
Ever wonder how Matt Groening of The Simpsons got his quirky sense of humor? Probably from his filmmaker dad, Homer Groening, who passed away in 1996. Although known for his documentaries, Homer Groening directed and narrated this film, ostensibly about color, but filled with an ongoing series of bikini-clad bathing beauties. The film is perhaps best viewed as a graphic artifact that will interest media historians seeking additional insight into the elements that influenced the cartoonist.Basic Brown, Basic Blue (1969)
