Last week was a very sad one in the world of underground comics. Cleveland native and writer, Harvey Pekar passed away at the age of 70. For those who are unfamiliar, he’s best known for his autobiographical anthology, American Splendor.
When I was hired at Olathe Medical Center in late 1995, the similarities between my new day job and Mr. Pekar’s were not lost on me at the time. This particular episode was finished and scheduled for this week, but with a different ending. However, the opportunity to pay tribute was just too perfect not to pass up.

I was trying to think of the perfect band to represent on the t-shirt I’d be wearing in this episode. Seemed that the music of Possum Dixon represents the 1996 “Me” the best. With only three albums, and a handful of EP’s, they’re one band who wasn’t around long enough “fade away.” Which might be a good thing. They were definitely one of my favorites at that time.
