That brilliant pecker, Harvey Pekar, died this week. Bummer.
Pekar was the author of the auto-bio comic “American Splendor” (which was made into a great film of the same name.)
He was also a frequent R. Crumb collaborator.
Harvey Pekar was 70 and yet it feels too soon.
I always feel profound sadness when extraordinary talent departs the planet Earth.
I hate to see Harvey go but maybe now he’ll get to experience a whole new expanse of splendor.
Roam in peace, Pekar. You’ll be missed.
Check out this radio interview with Pekar.
