D'Oh.

Old news but news to me. According to feature on men growing mustaches for "Movember," Donald Sutherland's moustachioed character in "The Day of the Locust" was named Homer Simpson. I never saw saw the film (but remember being very intrigued by its ad campaign as a young teen) and I read Nathaniel West's novel a few years back but entirely missed this name.

I always knew Homer was named after Matt Groening's dad and I guess He has mentioned the connection according the Wiki article, but I don't recall this being discussed- is this well-known?
