Larry Doyle

Larry Doyle is an American novelist, television writer and producer. He currently lives in Baltimore, Maryland.^[1]

Doyle worked as writer and producer on The Simpsons for seasons nine through twelve (1997-2001) under the direction of executive producer Mike Scully. He previously wrote episodes of Beavis and Butthead, Daria and Rugrats. He also wrote the films Duplex [2] and Looney Tunes: Back in Action. He also wrote some of the Looney Tunes shorts that were made in 2003, as a cross-promotion for Looney Tunes: Back in Action. Warner Bros. decided not to release them theatrically, however.[3]

In 1989, Doyle and Neal Sternecky were selected by Walt Kelly's widow to revive the classic daily comic strip Pogo, although the revival was short-lived.

He is frequent contributor to The New Yorker and has a monthly column in Esquire magazine.

His first novel, I Love You, Beth Cooper, was published in May 2007. [4] The setting is graduation night at Buffalo Grove High School, Doyle's alma mater. It was recently optioned to be adapted into a film, with a target release date of 2009.[5]
