History

This article or section needs to be cleaned up to fit in with the Manual of Style.

John Swartzwelder wrote the book How to Get Rich Writing Cartoons. He also is one of the many writers that worked for Roger Meyers, Jr. writing The Itchy & Scratchy Show. Meyers fired every one of his writers, including Swartzwelder, after hiring Abraham Simpson. Swartzwelder also attended the Annual Cartoon Awards that took place at the Springfield Civic Center.

Swartzwelder was Lionel Hutz's surprise witness while Bart was trying to get the framed Itchy drawing. He also attended Krusty's funeral with Kermit the Frog.

He was an attendee of the Maison Derriere and was later committed into Calmwood Mental Hospital, with people campaigning for his release.

There is a statue of him on a horse outside the Courthouse and a picture of him is on the wall of a restaurant in Springfield.

He was also on Krusty's blimp before it crashed.

John Swartzwelder has a plaque on the Springfield Wall of Fame.
