One of the things I've always admired about my friend Michael Malice is that, if he wants to meet someone, no matter who that person may be, he finds a means of contacting them, then contacts them. Direct. To the point. No nonsense. So when he was forwarded an email with Harvey Pekar's phone number, he had no qualms about simply calling up the semi-legendary writer of underground comic books and subject of hit indie film AMERICAN SPLENDOR and asking him if he wanted to hang out. The result being a meeting of the minds if ever there was one, and the great photo below...
No, I don't think it's intentional that they're wearing matching outfits, but it's hilarious nonetheless.
To be fair, I didn't get the email myself. It went out to people affiliated with the film, and it SAID "Harvey's in town w/nothing to do. Call him."
And he's in jeans and I'm in black pants. Bad photo quality.
And I'm going to teach him how to use a computer.
Yes I am serious.
You know how to use a computer?
Yes, I know how to use a computer. Not a mac, a computer.
What's a computer?
