Once upon a time, Simpsons creator and animation megastar Matt Groening had to have a day job, just like everyone else. For Groening, that day job was illustrating for Apple Computers. From the fecund mind of the man behind Futurama comes these wonderful apple computer ads. Dubbed “Who Needs A Computer Anyway? A Student’s Guide,” the illustrations are fun and funky reminder that, even in 1989, college students probably could’ve used a computer.
These computer ads are awesome, by the way. I’ll take traditional animation over fancy computer animation any day of the week. Especially today, and especially by one of the most famous American animators since Walt Disney.
