The Univ of Illinois' Larry Doyle?

In the early 1980's there was a Larry Doyle that worked on the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign paper "The Daily Illini". He and colleague Neal Sternecky authored the "Escaped from the Zoo" comic strip for quite awhile which was very good for a college strip. Doyle also wrote a lot of articles for the paper and I'm pretty sure he was a journalism student. Anyway, I wonder if this is the same Larry Doyle?

Yes, this is that Larry Doyle. I have it on good authority from friends who stayed in touch with him after the Daily Illini. And I know for sure the Beth Cooper book was written by him. We talked about Buffalo Grove High School, I went to nearby Hersey High School. 18:35, 25 September 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.33.72.18 (talk)

Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section:

Cite templates will be used where possible.
I prefer capitalization and punctuation to follow the standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, rather than "title case".
Links (either direct or indirect) to potentially unreliable or incomplete digitised copies and to booksellers may be removed.

This is a work in progress; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 10:29, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
