However, it was around that time that I actually picked up some issues of American Splendor and read them. It was some time later, after an initial period of feeling the comics were so-so, that I finally "got" Pekar.
Comics tended to be more dramatic stories of men and women in spandex fighting great evils. Pekar was able to relate the seemingly mundane in a great, detailed way.
And so I would at least try to keep up when I could - not just American Splendor
He was open. He was honest. And he will be missed.
