American Splendor #17

In "Time," Harvey Pekar offers a raw, introspective look at his life in the months following the last issue, navigating the daily realities of living with cancer, enduring chronic pain, and the persistent difficulty of earning a living from his writing. With intimate storytelling and stark honesty, this installment captures the quiet resilience of everyday struggles, rendered in the distinctive, hand-drawn style of Gerry Shamray. The cover, by Joe Zabel and Gary Dumm, reflects the grounded, personal tone of the story.
