Who were/are your heroes?

[Kire]

Don't list your parents, cuz it's just too easy of an answer.

Who did you idolize growing up? For me, easy answer...Michael Jordan. Then, a little later, it was Salvador Dali until I found out he was a crazy racist, and then M.C. Escher, then John Lasseter. George Carlin was one of my heroes because he was one of the first voices I heard to encourage free thinking and other points of view.

Now, I'm not even so sure if I have someone I look up to...

Micheal Jackson when I was a kid. Then he started ****ing little kids, and it broke my heart.

Can't forget Dan Marino. And Sonic the Hedgehog.

My heroes are Lewis Black and Jim Gaffigan. I <3 them.

One of my dead heroes is Eddie Guerrero. He died way too soon. Chris Benoit was one of my heroes until it was revealed that he murdered his family then offed himself.

One of my heroes is Matt Groening, since he is a loser cartoonist that made it. His early "Life in Hell" strips and collections are genius, even though his drawing style is rather simple.

I respect him for not wanting to sell his beloved characters, and instead creating something on the fly to be his official pitch to the Tracy Ullman show. I also respect him for continuing to draw "Life in Hell" while working on the simpsons and futurama.

After years of searching, I actually obtained a piece of original art from Matt Groening featuring a drawing of Binky the rabbit, and it is proudly displayed on my wall.
