Harvey Pekar Gets Online

Isaac Fitzgerald bio ↓ · September 9th, 2009 · filed under art, books

Harvey Pekar of American Splendor fame has teamed up with Tara Seibel, Joseph Remnant, Rick Parker, and Sean Pryor to create his first webcomic over at SMITH.

The Pekar Project will have new stories every other week, along with “interviews, creator spotlights, and behind-the-scenes goodies, as well as essays and art from Pekar collaborators and inhabitants of the extended Pekarverse.” My favorite story so far is “The Art of Making Sushi.”

This is The Rumpus

The Rumpus.net is an online magazine focused on culture, as opposed to "pop culture." Pop culture can be hard to define and the term means different things to different people. Basically, we're not opposed to things that are popular, but we have no interest in "art" created by marketing executives. And we have no interest in derivative art, like images of famous people made from shoelaces or Star Wars characters in funny wigs. (More on what we're about here, here, and here.)

The Rumpus is not worried about being the first to break the news. We care about good writing, and we'll publish essays just because the writing is good. And we won't run a well crafted meditation alongside an actor's opinion of the war in Iraq. (more)
