I know most people will think this is stupid, but I’m so excited to own this. I’m a huge Pekar fan. I never got to met him. 😀#harveypekar #americansplendor #rollingstone #undergroundcomics #harvey

got in a YT hole and started watching Harvey Pekar's confrontational Letterman appearances in the 80s. found myself inspired by his attitude (he's fucking with Dave here for not supporting a writers' strike) and his lifelong civil service work. gotta read the comics

Crumb y Pekar, como sabemos, serían amigos y harían cómics juntos. El primero dibujaría muchos de la obra del segundo, #AmericanSplendor.

A Movie Based On A True Story: #americansplendor

#movieandtvchallenge A Movie Based On A True Story: #americansplendor This is actually a mix of both biopic & documentary. It can also be meta because there are a few scenes where the actors hang with the actual person they play in the movie. It's definitely one of the most creative biopics I've seen. It's about Harvey Pekar who became well known for writing about his daily life that was turned into an underground comicbook series called American Splendor. I've read a few of it years ago & it was interesting. Harvey also became well known when he did a few appearances on David Letterman & I've seen them on Youtube. Harvey was an interesting person & this is one of Paul Giamatti's best roles. A very underrated movie that definitely deserves more attention. #harveypekar #paulgiamatti #biopic #comicbookwriter #undergroundcomic #hopedavis #joycebrabner #jamesurbaniak #robertcrumb #davidletterman #movieandtvchallenge A Movie Based On A True Story: #americansplendor This is actually a mix of both biopic & documentary.
