Although Tony once considered Sao Paolo an "ugly" city, he has since changed his mind thanks to his "Paolista" friends. Moreover, the mix of backgrounds and ethnicities prove the city to be a culturally rich place.

I love this episode, where we stepped inside the film AMERICAN SPLENDOR with Michael Ruhlman, Markie Ramone, Michael Symon and the incredible Harvey Pekar and family and friends. Rarely has a show worked out exactly as planned, but this is a rare example. The shooting and post production on this show are remarkable -- particularly the fades from comic book into live action.
