So Harvey started the idea.
He's a comic book guy, right?
He started the idea of writing autobiographical comics in the 70s.
From off the streets of Cleveland, here comes American Splendor.
It's an ironic title because his life was not exactly very splendid.
kind of a miserable person.
He hated being called a curmudgeon.
And amazingly, when the film came out in 2000 and... Was it 2000?
I think it was something like that.
He flew back to New York to do Stern.
And the producer of the film, Ted Hope, sent out an email that said, Harvey's in town with nothing to do.
If you want to hang out with him, this is your chance.
And I'm the only person who took him up on it.
And I go there, and he's on his bed.
Spoiler alert, he died in 2010 on my birthday, which was not a fun email to get.
Anyway, and he's like, yeah, he's got this really weird way of talking.
