THE SIMPSONS creator MATT GROENING is reassuring fans of the yellow family that the hit show won't be ending anytime soon.
It was reported earlier this week that the animator was considering finishing the comedy because he was running out of funny storylines.
Yesterday Groening explained, "I was misquoted and misunderstood.
"I don't want anyone to think I am predicting the demise of the Simpsons.
"They will live on with new adventures for years to come. As long as there are things to make fun of we will be around."
The cartoonist went on to explain what he meant by the comments that fuelled the speculation.
Groening continues, "I am always asked how much longer can this go on. I just said that given the fact the we just finished our 300th episode, I would guess we are closer to the end of our life than the beginning.
"At the end of our 100th episode (one of our writers) said we were halfway home. Now we think the show will last, our ratings are better than ever."
