Back in 1990, when I was researching my Ph.D. dissertation in religious history, I found a Christian tract featuring Bart Simpson as the sinner and Homer as the angry God.
Simpsons counterfeit merch was ubiquitous, so I decided to send it to Matt Groening. I joking argued that since a Christian wouldn't steal someone else's intellectual property or falsely claim to have licensed it, he must have plagiarized the Simpsons from the tract.
As you can see, Groening copped to the charge but corrected the theology.
