Larry Doyle is an American novelist, screenwriter, and producer.
Doyle got his start in 1989–1991 as an editor at Chicago-based First Comics. [1] He started writing for television, with a 1993 and a 1994 episode of Rugrats , then regularly working on Beavis and Butt-head between 1994 and 1997, when he joined The Simpsons as a writer and producer for seasons nine through twelve (1997–2001). Other television writing credits include one episode for Daria and two episodes for Liquid Television . [2]
Doyle wrote the screenplays for the 2003 film releases Duplex and Looney Tunes: Back in Action . He also produced some Looney Tunes shorts that were completed in 2003. [3] However, due to the box-office bomb of Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Warner Bros. decided not to release the shorts theatrically, releasing them direct-to-video instead.
Doyle is a frequent contributor to The New Yorker and has also had columns in Esquire magazine , New York Magazine, and the New York Observer [4] [5]
Doyle's first novel, I Love You, Beth Cooper , was published in May 2007. The setting is graduation night at Buffalo Grove High School, Doyle's alma mater. This novel won the 2008 Thurber prize for American Humor. [6] Doyle wrote the screenplay for the film based on his novel, which was released in 2009. Also in 2009, the book I Love You, Beth Cooper was re-released as an extended movie tie-in edition. [7] His second novel, Go Mutants!, was published in 2010. This novel had its film rights acquired by Imagine Entertainment/Universal Studios the same year, with the screenplay written by Doyle. [8] Deliriously Happy (and Other Bad Thoughts), a collection of humor pieces from the New Yorker and elsewhere, was published in 2011.
In 2023, Doyle co-created the web-series Command Z with Kurt Andersen. Steven Soderbergh funded and directed all eight episodes, distributing them on his platform, with money raised going to Children's Aid. [9] The series was nominated for a 2024 Writers Guild of America Award in the category "Short Form New Media." [10]

Doyle has also contributed widely to several magazines as a regular columnist or editor, including:
Beavis and Butt-Head is an American adult animated sitcom created by Mike Judge. The series follows Beavis and Butt-Head, both voiced by Judge, a pair of teenage slackers characterized by their apathy, lack of intelligence, lowbrow humor, and love for hard rock and heavy metal. The original series juxtaposes slice-of-life short subjects—in which the teens embark on low-minded misadventures in their Texas town—with the pair watching and commenting on music videos.
Mad was an American humor magazine first published in 1952, and was last published as a regular monthly periodical magazine in 2018. The company continues to publish year-end collector editions, as well as reprinted material which may be published in other collector editions throughout the year. It was founded by editor Harvey Kurtzman and publisher William Gaines, launched as a comic book series before it became a magazine. It was widely imitated and influential, affecting satirical media, as well as the cultural landscape of the late 20th century, with editor Al Feldstein increasing readership to more than two million during its 1973–1974 circulation peak.

Daria Morgendorffer is a fictional character and the eponymous main protagonist of the MTV adult animated series Daria, which originally aired from March 1997 to January 2002. She was initially designed and created by Beavis and Butt-Head staff writer David Felton as a supporting character, serving as an intelligent foil to the two main characters. Eventually, MTV sought to make an animated show catered more to female viewers, and thus Glenn Eichler and Susie Lewis Lynn co-developed Daria. She was voiced in both productions by Tracy Grandstaff.
Charles Frederick Kip Winger is an American singer and bass guitarist, active as a member of the rock band Winger and as a solo artist. He initially gained notability as a member of Alice Cooper's band, contributing bass to his Constrictor (1986) and Raise Your Fist and Yell (1987) albums.

He also created Pig Goat Banana Cricket, a TV show made jointly with Dave Cooper that Nickelodeon picked up. He was the story editor for Looney Tunes Cartoons. In a throwback to the days of underground comix, Ryan's oeuvre is generally an attempt to be as shocking and politically incorrect as possible.
