Harvey Pekar has passed away. He will be missed.

She sho like ta eat!Bob and Harv's comics are a collection of strips written by the one and only Harvey Pekar and illustrated by the one and only Robert Crumb. The art is composed of Crumb's scratchy cross hatching, set to everyday occurrences in Pekar's life. Pekar has a unique voice in the world of comics. It's hard to describe Pekar's stories. You'll just have to give 'em a read.

Here is a couple favorites of mine, titled Hospital Fun. As well, I've posted an edit I made in tribute of Harvey's most famous strip.
