for a man named Harvey Pekar.
1:26:05
And one of his sons was named Harvey.
1:26:11
These were the other Harvey Pekars.
1:26:19
And six months later, Harvey Pekar, Jr. Died.
1:26:23
Although I'd met neither man...
1:26:26
I was filled with sadness.
1:26:30
"What were they like?" I thought.
1:26:34
It seemed our lives had been linked
in some indefinable way.
1:26:40
But the story does not end there.
1:26:44
For two years later, another Harvey Pekar
appeared in the phone book.
1:26:52
Who are these people?
1:26:55
Where do they come from?
1:26:58
What do they do?
1:27:03
What's in a name?
1:27:08
Who is Harvey Pekar?
1:27:30
We've got T-shirts for sale upstairs,
if you're interested.
1:27:34
Here's our man, a year later.
1:27:37
Somehow I made it through the treatments,
and the doctors are optimistic.
1:27:43
I guess Joyce was right
about doing a big comic book.
1:27:46
We published the thing as a graphic novel,
our first collaboration...
1:27:51
and ended up with rave reviews.
1:27:53
We even won
a couple of National Book Awards.
1:27:57
Go figure.
