Barefoot Boy With Cheek

I read it but was so long ago I only have vague memories

Max rings a bell...was he a comedy writer/script writer for TV or movies...kinda hazy

He invented Dobie Gillis, I believe. Wrote a novel that became the basis for the show...

could be. He wrote it in 1943 if that helps. I have no clue if he's still alive or about anything else he may have written.

Author Max Shulman is best remembered for creating the popular character Dobie Gillis, a typical American teen who frequently suffered from romantic angst. The character appeared on a popular television sitcom during the '50s and was in a feature film in 1953. Shulman became a writer in the early '40s, after an editor at Doubleday read some of his college work and asked him to write a novel. Other Shulman novels adapted to the screen include The Tender Trap (1955) and Rally Round the Flag Boys (1958). In 1978, Shulman collaborated on the screenplay for House Calls. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
