    The whole comics world is hurting today, having lost one of its great writers. I hope no one takes offense when I say that those of us in the Cleveland area are hurting more. Harvey was one of us. He walked our streets. He gave our town a voice as few others ever have. My condolences to His wife, his daughter, and all his friends and fans.

    Sad news indeed. Harvey Pekar’s work served as my introduction to underground comics after years of reading mainstream stuff. Having watched the film based on Harvey’s life, I feared his story would lack what many call a happy ending. But his legacy is now one with our industry’s history. Rest easy, Harv.

    Joanna Connors’ obituary for Harvey Pekar was the lead story on the front page of this morning’s (Cleveland) Plain Dealer. The second I saw it, I said “Man, Harvey would have loved to write about this.”

    It’s nice to see a real Cleveland hero honored in this fashion.
