I don’t see how that’s relevant. It was a worldwide hit and is an important piece of movie history, it’s not an obscure college movie.

It’s considerably more than “not unheard of”, I specifically chose well-known authors with well-known works. Ralph Bakshi alone directed eight adult-oriented feature film animations before the Simpsons was a thing. Those are far from the only examples.
