Teddy bears are easier to cuddle with than scissors, buttcracks don't exist, and 300 million year old ice is basically a Steve Jobs keynote presentation. We talk about some serious stuff including Araki's characterization of Johnny through narration, how time dilation works in sports manga, and ways not to represent middle eastern people especially right after 9/11. Not coincidentally, we meet and also say goodbye to Avdol--uh, wait, Abdul. And we meet the real stars of Steel Ball Run: a group of dancing ankle-high horses.
