Bummer.

thats sad, rip.

Pekar had been suffering from prostate cancer, asthma, high blood pressure and depression - probably a blessing in disguise.

+Damn. I did not know he was that ill.

It always sucks when a creative person passes. No more new work.

no. :(

I'll have to watch American Splendor one of these days then...

RIP.

it's a good movie but you should read a few of his books first

That's a real shame, loved his stuff.

Wonder if there'll be a book to cover his funeral.

fuck.

Looking at your drawings ploesj, I always thought you would have been a great collaborator for Harvey. You could have drawn one of his "happier" tales. It would have fit perfectly.

thanks rob, that's an amazing compliment!

both me and my boyfriend are fans, and we have another illustrator coming over from london today. tonight will probably become a tribute drawing session!

R.I.P. Harvey!!!
