Talk:Harvey Pekar

message: I recently watched a promo for a documentary, The View from Cleveland, about the history of jazz hosted by Harvey Pekar and directed by Daragh McCarthy. Should this work be included within the article? I have not viewed the full documentary itself and am not even sure if it has been completed. A quick Google search elicits next to nothing. Any assistance regarding its inclusion and status would be appreciated.

message: 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)

message: 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)

message: Wow, after a mere eight appearances, he was "banned" from the late 80s to the early 90s.
Wow, that was a huge "ban". It sounds more like overexposure than banning.
Perhaps that could be rephrased somewhat?

replies: text: What happened was that Pekar became a sort of favorite of Letterman's, despite his not being the smoothest character on the show; the last time Pekar showed up, he started criticizing GE and being way too annoying, so Letterman stopped having him on the show.  Here is a video of the episode.  You're correct that it needs more explaining to have any context.  Comet Tuttle (talk) 17:25, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

text: I agree.  I am really surprised to read this article and all it says is that Harvey had eight appearances on Letterman and no mention of the big finish where Letterman basically got mad at him on the air, made fun of him, was making remarks about whether there was a nurse to give him his medication and couldn't a terrorist just come out of the audience and get rid of him and then told him he was never coming back on the show because he wouldn't talk about topics of "general interest" or promote his "Mickey Mouse magazine".  The Pekar-Letterman appearances are also a significant part of the movie American Splendor.  They deserve some short discussion in this article. TheBlinkster (talk) 02:55, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

message: The quotes that are used that describe Pekar's influence need to not only be cited (which they are) but also have their speaker attributed in the paragraph where they are used. Who is saying that Pekar was so tremendously influential? It can't be just placed there as if it was a fact when it is actually an assertion, an evaluation. 69.125.134.86 (talk) 21:04, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
