Harvey Pekar has died

The only knowledge I have of Harvey Pekar is that a movie was made based on his life that I found entertaining. I have not read any of the comics he has written or seen any of the guest appearances he made on David Letterman. That being said I am sad that this guy is dead. He very much embodied the everyman shlub as the term is coined. And yet he is an artist by any measure because he put it out there, man. The mundane existence that is an American Splendor and I will make an effort to pick up an issue and read his story.
