It apparently took Nayolfa 9 hours to draw 25 uncolored expressions of a character he drew a billion times before.

I'm not an artist, but somehow I get the feeling that it shouldn't take that long to do this. I can understand two, maybe three hours, but nine? Fuck no.

Well, did some more thinking on the subject of the Simpsons episode at hand, even researched it a bit and re-watched the episode. Turns out, the cartoonist's own story is basically an exaggerated account about how Matt Groening goofed off in school as a kid, yet was successful enough to have The Simpsons and Futurama under his arm. But even then, the cartoonist's story is still a satire that shouldn't be taken at face value, since Matt Groening did manage to pull through, go to college, worked really hard both in and out of college before he could have his own show, the Tracey Ullman shorts on which said show was based on, or even his Life in Hell comic (something much more than what Enter hopes to do with his life). And even then, working on The Simpsons is definitely NOT "the easiest job in the world" for him or his staff.

Those "web cartoons" that were showcased in the episode (Angry Dad included), however, those are definitely intentionally low-quality parodies of actual webtoons that were circulating the Web around the time (particularly Icebox webtoons, of which some Simpsons staff even worked on. Queer Duck, anyone?), as well as the pop of the dot-com bubble due to poor business models.
 
This Enter drama is taking strange turns that I never thought it would quite honestly. What the fuck is going on?
 
@Aobozu: Matt Groening had, admittedly, never worked in animation before he got his idea picked up on the Tracey Ullman Show. But he'd had a career in underground comics for YEARS before he got his own show, and as you said, he went to college. With Lynda Barry, of all people.

So he had quite a bit of experience in how to write.
