What’s in a name?

Mr. Pekar leaves us with a lasting legacy of real-life wisdom through self-deprecating humor and neuroticism, organized largely in his classic, autobiographical comic series American Splendor.

Genuine nerds like Toby Radloff.  Our Cancer Year.  Keeping David Letterman honest. The curmudgeon of a generation, and a poignant reminder of Middle American anguish and humanity.

Rest in peace, Harvey.
