Collaboration with a comic book writer

Comic book duos consisting of a screenwriter and an artist have been known for a long time, to mention the creator of the famous "American Splendor", Harvey Pakar, and cartoonist Robert Crumb. Accidentally, in the case of this pair, cooperation with a comic screenwriter turned out to be something special - the fact that Crumb lived not far from Pekar, the men met, and Pekar could observe his neighbor's work made him try his hand at comics in the first place. Pekar created scripts, Crumb, author of the famous adult comic strip about Fritz the cat, transferred them to paper.
