My 2004 interview with Harvey Pekar

Harvey Pekar interview by Doctor Popular

My first published illustration was a cartoon-interview I did with the comic book legend Harvey Pekar. The interview was done for the alt-weekly Pulse of the Twin Cities in 2004. Click here for the large version. I wrote and penciled this strip and the amazing Sean Tenhoff inked it for me. I still dream of doing more sequential art-interviews, but the editor of PTC saw this as a one time thing. I did take a segment of an interview I did with Henry Rollins, however, and turned it into a comic as part of my short lived Rad Hair Day web series.

    This Claesens top has a cute Argyle style print, using two shades of pink and a white base; in addition to that, it has bold switzerland clothing green trims that will really complete the picture.
