In "Diminished Capacity," Harvey Pekar explores the quiet absurdity of everyday life through Paul’s candid tale of hawking Terminator T-shirts to moviegoers outside a 1996 screening of Terminator II. Written by Harvey Pekar and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Scott A. Gilbert—both inks and lettering—this slice-of-life story captures a fleeting moment of hustle and pop culture obsession. The cover by Scott Gilbert perfectly mirrors the story’s wry, observational tone.
