American Splendor

Listened to an interview on Fresh Air with the guy who the movie American Slendor was about. A cartoonist. Actually he wasn't even a cartoonist but came up with the story line for the cartoon, which was based on his life. I can't even tell you his name now and I only barely remember hearing about the movie. So I guess what struck me was that he worked at a very boring job as a file clerk for his entire life and did the cartoon stuff on the side. So while he is being interviewed Terry Gross asks him if he found life hard after retiring, and he said, yes, he did not know what to do with himself and had to be hospitialized on and off for a year and a half. Well, let's hope it doesn't come to that.
