American Splendor #13
In "Florida," Harvey Pekar finds himself reflecting on literature during a quiet President's Day, his thoughts drifting from the cold, slow pace of the holiday to a passage in I. J. Singer's Yoshe Kalb. Written by Harvey Pekar and illustrated by Joe Zabel, with inks by Gary Dumm and lettering by Dumm, the issue captures a moment of quiet introspection. The cover, by Gary Dumm, mirrors the story's subdued, contemplative tone.

Mentioning he wants to work on President's Day leads Harvey into literary criticism. The day itself is extremely cold as he makes it to work, the light work load offered by the holiday allowing him to read part of I. J. Singer's book Yoshe Kalb.
