    Episode 100 - Ping Pong by Taiyo Matsumoto

    Ping Pong. For two young boys, Smile and Peco, it isn't just a game. For Peco, it's a way of life. For Smile, it's a way of keeping close to his childhood friend... but it soon becomes apparent that they both must walk their own paths in order to grow as players and as people. But with Peco so convinced he's invincible, and Smile not really invested in the game, will the two ever achieve their potential? On this 100th episode, as requested by you, the audience, I'm joined once again by tattooist and comic book artist CROM to discuss the epic Ping Pong by Taiyō Matsumoto. Join us as we gush about the book, ruminate on it's characters and reflect on where this book falls on our personal listings of Matsumoto's work! --- Show Notes --- Interview with Matsumoto from 1995 Bird King Vol. 4 by Daniel Freedman & CROM  Thanks to Juliano Zucareli for our theme music!
