Matt Groening, creator of "The Simpsons," will make his first guest voice appearance on Sunday's show, Fox network said.

Although Groening's image has appeared on "The Simpsons," including a framed photo on the wall of Comic Book Guy's store, this will be his first speaking role on the animated series, Fox said Wednesday.

In the episode, titled "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," Principal Skinner gets cold feet before his pending nuptials and his fiancee, Edna Krabappel, calls off the wedding.

Skinner asks Homer to help him win her back, while Marge convinces Edna she can do better.

Edna rebounds into the arms of Comic Book Guy, who whisks her off to a sci-fi convention. While at the convention, they run into Groening — guest-starring as himself — who is signing autographs for his fans.

that cant be good.... usually if the shows include the creator as themselves, they may be running out of ideas.

Steven King does it all the time.

Actually, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

/me is reminded of the Family Guy sketch of Steven King running out of ideas and deciding to have a story about a lamp monster...

Thats different though - stephen king does it as an homage to Alfred Hitchcock (who always did a cameo in his films). plus its a schtick, a running gag. its been done from the start.

if its done WAY late in the game, it can be considered like the well starting to dry up.
