> [@Q.Q.Switcheroo](#): > > Wasn’t that Harvey Pekar’s whole deal? Ordinary, unremarkable guy who discovered he had a talent for storyboarding comics about himself and finding people to draw them. Yeah, and Pekar inspired a generation of alternative cartoonists to chronicle their mundane lives. I was addicted to them, especially Dennis Eichhorn, and the talent he had draw his stories. ---

Pete learned The Secret from Scott Baio? I once saw Pekar in a grocery store, he looked so meek, unlike when he was on Letterman. ---

They’re funny, conventionally attractive, confident enough to work on a live TV show, and they work in an industry where they can actually meet women like Scarlet Johansson, Kate Beckinsale, and so on. ---

Well, if he didn’t have an interesting life when he started out, he’s got one now. Who’s he banging this week? ---

If I understand the article, the _charge_ did just happen, for an incident that happened earlier this year. ---

> [@Loach](#): > > He got SNL just like everyone else. He was a working comic and he was invited to audition. Lorne Michaels liked him. Lorne Michaels LOVES him. He literally took Davidson on vacation with him. Michaels’ affection for an actor determines their success level on SNL and opens doors for them elsewhere. That affection has never really been all that tied to talent, but it’s never been as extreme as it is in the case of Davidson. > [@madmonk28](#): > > His friendship with John Mulaney makes me think less of Mulaney. John Mulaney is a pill monkey and serial adulterer. You shouldn’t have thought much of him to start with. ---

Yeah I’ll have to try Mulaney’s new special again but it was way less funny than his previous specials. I figured we would be hearing about what happened with his wife but maybe he couldn’t figure out a way to make that funny. ---

> [@RickJay](#): > > John Mulaney is a pill monkey and serial adulterer. You shouldn’t have thought much of him to start with. Mulaney is funny and has done some incredibly creative projects like Documentary Now and the Sack Lunch Bunch. Davidson is neither funny, nor creative. I don’t think celebrities are nice people and I think it’s really weird to think that they’re your pals. ---
