I live in Cleveland, and I actually went to Harvey's house last summer to have him both autograph my DVD copy of "American Splendor" and my own copy of "American Splendor" #1, which I paid $25 for at a local comic book shop. I was able to go there through my friend, as well as Harvey's close friend, Toby Radloff, who is portrayed by Judah Friedlander in the film version of "American Splendor". Harvey just let me and my father, two complete strangers, into his house without any question at all. It's a memory we'll never forget. He was very kind, and was very open to all of my questions I asked him. He told me he felt he was the reason why Paul Giamatti became a star after the film came out. Either way, he was certainly an amazing local icon, as well as an international one, and I would hope that maybe Letterman would make mention of his name either on tonight's show or tomorrow's. I certainly hope that Harvey is resting in peace as we speak, because for the first time in my life, I am legitimately saddened by the loss of a celebrity.
