Peepo Choo 3
“There’s a terrible sameness to a lot of manga... Felipe  Smith brings   to it a unique vision, his raw, intentionally ugly art  perfect for a   culture clash comedy of extreme bad manners. It amply  demonstrates how   loving another country’s culture isn’t the  same as actually   understanding it.” —ICv2“I  get the sense that, if he couldn’t draw, Felipe Smith would like  to  make a living repeatedly punching people in the face,  pausing only long  enough to make sure they got the joke.  Fortunately for us, he can  draw—he draws like a damn demon, that one.  His art is an assault,  seemingly stripped of subtlety. It is  full-bore satire, and he wields  it like a machete… Don’t get me wrong,  this  isn’t ‘merely’ satire.  Smith does care about one thing—his story  and his characters.  Especially his characters. He loves them even as he  lampoons them.  9.5/10” —Comics Village“Smith creates characters so  expressive you can feel their  pain. See the amusement, disgust. He has a  versatility that allows him  to  portray drop-dead serious (even grisly  at times) moments, and then  segue to light-hearted, deranged  innocence. If he has a parallel I  can’t quite figure it out.” —The Comic Panel“There’s a glint in its eyes as it launches one charged,  cartooned  image after another... Smith’s work doesn’t  need much comparison to  Japanese or American comic book traditions  because he has an  understanding of how comics work that allows him to  tell stories in his  own way... No one comes out looking well, but  geeks come in for an  especially brutal brow-beating in this savage  aversion therapy, with  their fantasies warped into hairy,  misproportioned sexualized images.” —Ain’t It Cool News“A mere plot summary does nothing to convey the gleefully mean-spirited  anarchy of Peepo Choo.   Smith’s opus overflows with violence, sex,  cruelty, and general bad  taste, all drawn in a rubbery, cartoony style  and presented with  relentless manic delight... I have yet to meet a  person who’s  worked in the anime and manga industry who  doesn’t love  it.” —Shaenon Garrity, Author ofSkin Horseand guest writer forAbout.com“I was entertained by this comic; it’s got energy, the gross  parts can  get really funny, and its extravagant accumulation  of mean doodles  representing hapless international / interpersonal  misunderstandings  eventually forms a pleasingly nightmarish vision of  all-out war among  insular cliques absolutely certain they’ve got  the world all figured  out.” —Joe McCulloch,Comics Comics
