Behind the Laughter

Dolph was named after one of Matt Groening's classmates from Lincoln High School named Dolph Timmerman. Groening stated that Timmerman was not a bully but just a real cool guy.

Dolph is generally regarded as the most mysterious of Jimbo's group and never really has a big part until seasons 19, 20 and 21. He is also Jewish as shown in "Lisa the Drama Queen" and before that in "See Homer Run". Dolph is a minor character, compared to Jimbo and Kearney, and doesn't speak as much as them. However, in newer seasons, he tends to be speak more regularly than in the earlier episodes. In the episode "I, (Annoyed Grunt)-bot", when Bart moons the bullies on his collapsing 10-speed bike, Jimbo and Kearney grimace, but Dolph shouts out "No one does that to Dolph! NO ONE!", a possible reference to him becoming more of a main character.

In later seasons show, he generally gets more speaking parts than Jimbo and Kearney. Such as being the only bully present at the science fair in "Replaceable You" and having more lines than Kearney in "Bart Stops to Smell the Roosevelts".

Dolph's surname was stated to be "Starbeam" in the season 18 episode "24 Minutes", but was later changed to "Shapiro", as seen in the season 25 episode "Yellow Subterfuge" and the season 33 episode "Boyz N the Highlands".
