Harvey Pekar

My parents’ work ethic amazed me. How could they put in such long hours, day after day? Part of the reason was to keep the family going – to keep me going. I realized that, although we had different values derived from different cultures and wouldn’t agree on certain issues, they were good people, incredible people, and I loved and respected them.
