According to the creator of the series, Matt Groening, how did he come up with the name Homer for the lead character?

That's right, Matt Groening's Dad's name was in fact Homer, and he was also in the entertainment industry. As a Canadian-American film director and cartoonist, he was known for creating a variety of low-budget movies and cartoons in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Of course his career paled in comparison to his son, Matt's.
