Pekar Hit Lecture Circuit After Film Here's a short interview with Harvey Pekar in support of The Quitter that is the usual mix of quotable one-liners and incidental background. Pekar mentions that he took to what I'm guessing is the college lecture circuit after the movie came out. I've long been slightly surprised there aren't a few more cartoonists or comics folk working the $1000-$5000 end of this business; my school used to have random members of the E Street Band come in to lecture.
