Harvey Pekar RIP
I was a fan of his work. I think I will appreciate it more now though. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/13/arts/ ... ml?_r=1&hp

yeah, that's a very bizarre sentiment.
The grammatical rules associated with diagrammatic reduction become apparent by considering a more tractable diagrammatic representation, applied to the Windsor knot in Fig. 8. - Fink & Mao, Tie knots, random walks and topology, (Physica A 276)
Re: Harvey Pekar RIP
No I mean now that I am older, and his death makes me want to go back and revisit his work.

Re: Harvey Pekar RIP
Harvey Pekar..
He deserves more than this extended silence. (sometimes this place disappoints me..)
An alienated working class Jewish guy specializing in absolute honesty and humorous self loathing..
I worked in a used book/comic shop between 1986 and 1998..and I followed every word and page he laid claim to. I was always exited by the arrival of American Splendor. It was the best comic about nothing that ever was.
American Splendor..yeah man. That says it all.
He was an easy man to mock..but you mocked him at your own peril. Because he knew you as well as he knew his own self. And he never let you forget that..
He was an astonishingly hip jazz critic.
He could lay waste to David Letterman.
He could make nothing interesting.
