Re: Harvey Pekar dead at 70
Sad news, though it has seemed to spike interest in his life and work (which are really the same thing).

Re: Harvey Pekar dead at 70
I had no idea he was this old.
Does anyone besides me think he looked like Miami hoops coach Charlie Coles?

Re: Harvey Pekar dead at 70
His Letterman appearances in the '80's were historical gems.
If anyone want to learn about him, the bio-pic American Splendor is a good, entertaining start. Paul Giamatti at his best in role he was born to play.

Re: Harvey Pekar dead at 70
Yeah, I have at least a couple of the Letterman appearances on videotape. Really funny stuff.
