Story: | 
Harvey Pekar is a Cleveland native, V.A. hospital file clerk, and hilariously 
grumpy observer of life's strange and unpredictable pageant. A comic book 
writer who writes about his everyday life as an omnivorous reader, jazz lover, 
obsessive-compulsive collector, and lousy housekeeper. A prickly poet of the 
mundane who knows that all the strategizing in the world can't save a guy 
from choosing the wrong supermarket checkout line. A regular Joe who pursues 
self-expression without self-censorship - and finds a grateful audience, 
critical admiration, and that most remarkable of happy endings, a loving 
family.
