[edit] Awards?

The entry states: "He has also won awards for essays broadcast on public radio." I'm just thinking, it might be less vague to say which awards. Are we certain it's awards plural? -- Tenebrae 00:06, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

I just got into Harvey Pekar. Of all things I am writing a paper about him for my seminar art history class about Marcel Duchamp. I am writing a 25 page paper on how H.P. was influenced by M.D.. However, all the other artists on the list to choose from where, and had to be "up and coming" in the past 4 years. HUH. Erin

[edit] Video of him on Letterman

Didn't want to link this on the main page - here's a video of his appearance of him on Letterman: http://youtube.com/watch?v=iBr4NxujLvw FranksValli 19:06, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Might as well make the link, methinks; the other existing link is dead: "Harvey's interview on Late Night With David Letterman" ( http://www.screenhead.com/funny/tube/david-letterman-156771.php ) - Michael (talk|contrib) 07:46, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Affinity for Asperger Syndrome?

Has anyone noticed that Pekar's work seems to be especially well recieved by those with Asperger Syndrome or autism? Has anyone suggested that Pekar or his friends seem to have these behavioral traits? It almost seems like Pekar and Temple Grandin might get along well. -- 209.155.146.2 22:01, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
