The Simpsons began in 1987.
Actually it wasn’t, in 1987 they started airing the shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show, the tv series only started in December 17, 1989.

Stephen didn’t say the Simpson’s stand alone show. He just said the Simpsons. Which you just said were started, in shorts form, in 1987.
Thus making John’s comment ‘before the Simpson’s’ wrong.
Hell given that it takes almost a year to actually produce an episode, Matt probably had thought up the series well before he wrote those drawings even if you if ignored the shorts.
I was a freshman in college with a just purchased Mac SE/30. The guy at the special Apple promotion at the Union gave me a Life is Hell t-shirt that went with the promotion.
I wore it every week, right after laundry day.
Miss the shirt, miss the SE/30….
I just listed one on eBay:

Had “The Stressed” in my college dorm room, all those years ago…
Now get to work!
