Harvey Pekar, October 8, 1939 – July 12, 2010




This may seem totally out of character for this blog,
but I recently learned of the death of

You see, Makropoulos deeply appreciates
anyone
who is bold enough to stand up for what they stand for, and
anyone
who is what they are, without any pretensions,
and that's one thing you can say 
for
Harvey Pekar,
the creator of the comic strip,
American Splendor.

He was born,
raised,
lived,
and died
in
Cleveland, Ohio,
and Makropoulos also
has a special place
in her heart for
Cleveland, Ohio.



re: Harvey Pekar:

He was what he was.


May he rest in peace.
