Hello Ralph Bakshi, my name is Moe and I'm from Cleveland, Ohio and I just frickin' love your ideas and features. I really identify with your concepts of animated realism and fantasy storytelling, and I was curious what you'd think about maybe accepting some interesting story and character ideas in the form of real life events of my own here in the streets of Cleveland, OH. I actually live in an area near Harvey Pekar and have met and chatted with him and been to his home before he passed away. I come from a large orthodox, baal-teshuva parents, Jewish background and am a musician with my younger brother (who is dating a really cool former Catholic girl from a rural county near Cleveland who wants to convert, whom we met while playing music at the bars) in the city, an older brother who is an incredible artist/cartoonist who is an ardent atheist (something we have great disagreement upon), have had a long relationship with an older Arab woman who was a real character, among others, gotten into trouble in my community, ran an open mic downtown, went to community college here, work as a server in a Turkish restaurant, have a slew of wide ranging different friends (Cleveland is a crazy melting pot!), etc. etc. etc. I greatly dig your movies and feel sometimes as if i am living one of them.. wish i could delve deeper, but what do you think?
