I met the late Mr. Pekar once; we were in the same business at the time (comic books). He struck me as a friendly but somewhat gruff and painfully honest man. I corresponded with Joyce Brabner, his wife and collaborator, for a short period in the early 1990s.
He was an American original, a man of a type seldom seen any more. Requiescat in pace.
I liked that movie because it gave paul Giamanti (sp) a chance to play the lead...he is a good actor. The story was interesting because above all it has a little bit of the American Dream for “everyman”. RIP Harvey
RIP.
Bad week for Cleveland.
