I met him (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Pekar) once in Cleveland, briefly, in the late eighties. I'd read a little of American Splendor (https://www.google.com/search?q=American+Splendor&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7ADBF_en&prmd=nivl&source=univ&tbs=nws:1&tbo=u&ei=3mk9TOHHL4HSsAPn_ozbCg&sa=X&oi=news_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CCgQsQQwAA) by that time.
I treat the famous as strangers, if I ever encounter them in public. Unless I'm compelled to say something like, "I really like your work," and leave it at that. It's not like we're friends or really know each other.
Harvey was a working class hero.
