American Splendor is a film about Harvey Pekar, an ordinary guy living a bleak existence that decides to work with comic book artists and start a comic book series about the travails of his life. He became famous and when he got on the David Letterman Show, I realized that the story was real, as the real Harvey shows up in the Letterman show of a few decades ago. The movie is curious like this, as this is the only biographical movie where I have seen the real characters interacting with the actors. Harvey never got rich, but the royalties gave him some additional money to raise his living standard above subsistence.
