Harvey Pekar Passes Away

I just learned about the death of Harvey Pekar (PEE-car), who might be best known for the film adaptation of his American Splendor. Pekar's work was the epitome of slice-of-life realism, and I'm sorry he won't be making any more work for us. Go read Our Cancer Year, American Splendor, and The Quitter if you haven't. They're all very candid and moving in their own way. May he rest in peace.
