"I'd been familiar with comics, and I'd collected 'em when I was a kid, but after I got into junior high school, there wasn't much I was interested in"
- Harvey Pekar
About this Quote
Harvey Pekar's quote shows a common experience of numerous kids who mature with a love of comics. As a kid, he was passionate about gathering comics, but as he went into junior high, his interests moved away from comics. This might be due to the truth that he was exposed to a wider series of activities and interests in junior high, or it could be that he felt that comics were no longer proper for his age. Whatever the factor, it is clear that Harvey Pekar's interests altered as he grew older, and he no longer felt the same connection to comics that he had as a child.
