Movie Haiku:Harvey Pekar is an ornery autodidact who became a counterculture personality by creating an adult comic book series about his life in working-class Cleveland. This imaginative biopic combines interviews with the “real” Harvey, panels based on the strips, dramatic reenactments, & snippets from guest shots on the David Letterman Show.
