And if the final statue has a smile on it, the sculptor should be shot immediately. Just as long as the statue doesn’t try to smooth out Pekar’s wild hair or disheveled clothing.

As such, he is a kind of weird that should be more accepted in the world. He may be weird, but he is not loud about it. As such, he is a kind of weird that should be more accepted in the world.

I don't want this misrepresented as something that will be downtown in a major metropolitan area. This will be at a community library that Mr. Pekar loved.

Though him and Johnny Vegas would be worth the price of admission.
