The film is the only example of an "Intersection"-style adaptation, and it's a good one. It is the unique authorship of comics that allows the film version to achieve "Intersection", and while repeatedly crossing the fourth wall, it dissolves the generation gap called "fiction" between the creator and the...

The expression of comics has only two functions: biographical films are used to shape the comic family design; a little more visual experience of different materials makes the plain plot more interesting. Compared with the same form of "Ninja Baby", Only at the beginning of the scene where Harvey decided to draw comics, the comics showed his true emotions before the movie, and the others just confirmed how he created comics based on materials from life. After watching it, I wondered why it was...

Strictly speaking, the life of a cartoonist in the United States should be a comic script creator, but... I really don't like this movie, sloppy and bald middle-aged uncle, I always feel like a mess, I always feel like a cartoonist is so hard. ...Uh, am I too (crying). PS: I like the part where readers and netizens meet and get married...

One of the most interesting biographical adaptations. Relying on this pseudo-documentary technique can also be considered to ease a lot of narrative drama...

Harvey Pekar: Man, listen, I'll tell you something, people are starting to know the name Crumb. And when you croak, man, you're gonna leave something behind.
Robert Crumb: Yeah, I guess. Ha-ha. It's not like I'm Blind Lemon Jefferson or Big Mama Thornton.
Harvey Pekar: Oh, come on, man. I'll tell you something, it sure beats working a gig like mine, being a nobody flunky and selling records on the side for a buck.
Robert Crumb: Well, that's true.

Harvey Pekar: Ever since I read your stuff, man, I been thinkin', I could write comic book stories that are different from anything that's being done. I figure, you know, that the guys that are doing animal comics and, eh, super hero stuff, they're really limited. 'Cause they got to try to appeal to kids. And underground stuff, like yours, have been really subversive and its opened things up politically. But, there's still plenty more to be done with them too, you know.
Robert Crumb: Pass the ketchup.
Harvey Pekar: The words and pictures, they could be more of an art form. You know, like those French movies or, or, eh, or De Sica over in Italy. So, anyway, I just, I tried to, I tried to write you some stuff about - real life - you know, stuff that the everyman's got to deal with.
Robert Crumb: These are all about you?
Harvey Pekar: Yeah.
Robert Crumb: You've turned yourself into a comic hero.
