'''[[John Swartzwelder]]''' (born November 16, [[1950]]) is a writer for the animated television series ''[[The Simpsons]]''. He is credited with writing the largest number of ''Simpsons'' episodes. John was one of several writers recruited to The Simpsons from the pages of [[George Meyer]]'s ''[[Army Man]]'' magazine.

According to his longtime collaborators on ''The Simpsons'', [[Al Jean]] and [[Mike Reiss]], Swartzwelder is a huge fan of [[Preston Sturges]] films and loves "anything old-timey American." This vaguely defined aesthetic presents itself in many of the episodes he's written, in the form of wandering hobos, Prohibition-era speakeasies, carnies, 19th-century baseball players, aging Western movie stars, and Sicilian gangsters.
