Harvey Pekar, a legend in the comics world and one of the best writers working, died today. Any of you who have never read his comics, I highly urge you to check out some of his work, starting with American Splendor. Cleveland, his family, and comic readers the world over have lost someone important.
Rest in peace, Harvey.

RIP – Harvey Pekar, 70, lived in Cleveland, Ohio all of his life. At the age of 26 he got a job as a file clerk at a V.A. hospital there and kept at it for the next 35 years. It was monotonous. http://urdead2me.wordpress.com/2010/07/12/rip-harvey-pekar/
I loved his comics!!
I really loved AMERICAN SPLENDOR and thought that the filmmakers did justice to him and his worldview
