What's wrong with the graphic from this CNN article about The Simpsons? Well, although Late Night with David Letterman started in 1982, featured many future Simpsons writers (including George Meyer), and most assuredly influenced The Simpsons, The Late Show with David Letterman began in 1993, well after The Simpsons' fourth season.

Here at rubbercat.net/simpsons, we take our reporting seriously. Nevertheless, a few mistakes manage to slip themselves through. We would like to take this opportunity to correct the record.
- In our previous post, we said that writer Bill Odenkirk posted on a Simpsons message board. It was actually someone from Australia pretending to be Mr. Odenkirk.
- Maggie Roswell did not at any time refer to fellow voice actress Marcia Mitzman-Gaven as a "slut-ass ho bitch."
- rubbercat.net/simpsons specifically retracts all statements made on the website that state or suggest in any way that Matt Groening or his associates orchestrated or played any role in the assault on Sam Simon or that they lured him into an ambush at the Quad studios.
We regret the errors.

In a quick review of "The Simpsons Handbook," a how-to-draw Simpsons book that came out earlier this year, The Courier-Journal identifies the authors as voice actresses "Doris Grau and Marcia Mitzman Gaven." One problem: Grau, voice of Lunchlady Doris, died in 1995.
To be fair, Amazon lists them as the authors as well.

Or so says the LAist:
Hell, the very first comment on Londonist acknowledged that yep that's Lil Lisa doing something that doesn't seem like something a vegetarian would do unless she's planning on spitting it out.
See for yourself.

Sure, Matt Groening might have his name emblazoned on every piece of Simpsons art and merchandise, but what about the other creators? You know, like Gabor Csupo, former supervising animation director?
Associated Press film critic Christy Lemire sets the record straight in her review of Bridge to Terabithia: Killer birds and giant squirrels and menacing trees come out of nowhere and dart about in this live-action feature debut from Hungarian animation artist Gabor Csupo, who helped create "The Simpsons."
Never mind his other previous accomplishments, such as being one of the two founders of fairly successful animation company Klasky-Csupo, the last two syllables of which contain his last name.
Rugrats? Never heard of 'em.
