Techincal Aspects

Outstanding Scenes
There aren't really any outstanding scenes due to the fact that each scene or part of the comic is drawn by a different artist. By doing so, each one is completely irrelevant to the last, yet provide insight into Pekar's life and personality.

Characterization
There are various characters in each section of the comics. These characters are either random people or people of significance to Pekar and they act as a subject of dialogue. They each have a certain personality, one that is often an exaggeration to that in real life.

An example is the portrayal of Pekar from each section to section, not only is he drawn differently, but his personality changes to mimic and enhance the life lesson. When he was describing his problem with women (mainly Tina) he was a gruff and short tempered man. Yet in another section where he talks to a guy named Cosmo, he seems to be reaching out for advice and someone to talk to in a calm and mild manner.

Images
Each section of the comic is drawn by a different artist. Usually the artist is the main influencer on the story, such as R. Crumb. He drew Pekar's first comic and because of that, there is a short story where R. Crumb is portrayed talking to Pekar and mentioning how he is important because Pekar needs him to draw his comics. There is a small blurb at the end of that section that says "Seriously folks, Crumb's really a great guy!".

Action
There are a range of topics, and with a different story each time, it's easy to get various themes and lessons in. Pekar usually writes about relationships to self-conflict and everyday struggles such as jobs, friends, and family.

Unlike a tradition memoir, Pekar is explaining the past while also doing something in the present. A good example of this would be the part where he explains to a friend about Tina while playing basketball. In another section, he explains to Cosmo about Elaine while walking and talking. Pekar usually recounts the past instead of making the past the present.

Colour
All the pages are drawn and printed in black and white with the exception of the front and back covers, which are usually in colour.
