In "Florida," Harvey Pekar finds himself reflecting on literature during a quiet President's Day, his thoughts drifting from the cold, slow pace of the holiday to a passage in I. J. Singer's Yoshe Kalb. Written by Harvey Pekar and illustrated by Joe Zabel, with inks by Gary Dumm and lettering by Dumm, the issue captures a moment of quiet introspection. The cover, by Gary Dumm, mirrors the story's subdued, contemplative tone.
