R.I.P. Harvey Pekar


"I felt more alone that week than any. Sometimes I'd feel a body lying next to me like an amputee feels a phantom limb. All I did was think about Jennie Gerhardt and Alice Quinn and all the decades of people I had known. The more I thought, the more I felt like crying. Life seemed so sweet and so sad, and so hard to let go of in the end. But hey, man, every day is a brand new deal, right? Just keep on working and something's bound to turn up."

If you have never seen the amazing and unique American Splendor then now is most definitely the time. It is part documentary, part biopic, and a total winner. Even if it is about losers. A personal favorite.
