'''[[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.
 
  
Beginning with the show's sixth season, Swartzwelder no longer attended rewrites with the rest of the staff, having been given special dispensation to send in his drafts from home and let the other writers revise them.

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.
