Many of you might wonder, just who Harvey Pekar is? Harvey writes underground, type comics, usually with Robert Crumb, doing the illustrating. He is also a jazz critic and author, living in Cleveland.
It was in the late 80s that America really got to know Pekar better. He started appearing on, David Letterman's late night show. David thought Harvey fit right into the show as an eccentric, so he kept bringing Harvey back on.
A lot like Bourdain, Pekar doesn't pull back on his punches and got banned from NBC for being overly critical of one of the sponsors.
This clip is short, but captures two peas in a pod. These two outspoken authors and critics have so much in common. I'm glad they had a chance to meet.
