RIP Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Philip Roth.  

His 1969 novel PORTNOY’S COMPLAINT was so popular that a reference to it made its way into “Lucy the Crusader” (HL S3;E5) in October 1970.  At a meeting of neighborhood consumer advocates, Lucy Carter asks if anyone has any other complaints, and calls upon Mrs. Pornoy (Kathleen Hughes), who talks about her faulty garage door opener!  

Philip Roth was 85 years old.
