This Halloween, I want to be Harvey Pekar

Just finished watching American Splendor on video. Well worth the 90 minutes, if you have not already seen it. It follows the life of a moonlighting comic book writer that writes comics about his life (which is the life of a lonely and depressed shlub who works as a file clerk at the VA hospital). It is a celebration of the mundane, in an introspective, interesting, and liberating sort of way. Yes, that sums it up. Mom, I think you'd like it.
