Yes. I'm watching the ''Honky Tonk Woman'' episode & Spike swallowed a poker chip in it.

I guess it is funny. Can't say I'd try something like that.

MsPerfectionist

i think we'll choke before it gets swallowed.

canflam

You might be right. though not all poker chips are the same size I think. I should bet back to watching ''Cowboy Bebop'' this weekend.

MsPerfectionist

what are your thoughts on the show so far? do u enjoy it?

canflam

Yes. I need to get back to watching it though. There were some unusual moments in it early on such as involving Faye, but it has been enjoyable thus far.

cool keep watching cowboy

I have been reading Cowboy Bebop: Shooting Star vol. 1 & It actually takes place in 2022. It was published in 2003. Here is the plot of it: ''Through a convergence of fate and technology gone awry, Spike becomes one of space's Most Wanted, and the tables are turned: hunter becomes hunted as the crew get caught in space-mafia intrigue with Scorpion, the teenage leader of the Dragon Head family.''

MsPerfectionist

is it somehow connected to the show? like a spin-off?

canflam

No. It is not a spin-off. It is an alternate version. ''When the population of Earth abandoned its home for other planets, the Solar System became a playground for tricksters, mobsters and criminals galore. The police alone can't chase them all down... enter the bounty hunters, the best of the best of which make their home on the spaceship Bebop—the ex-mafioso Spike Spiegel, the ex-cop Jet Black, the amnesiac Faye Valentine, Ed the Hacker and their data dog, Ein. Now, with more scruples than the rest of their ilk, the gang often find themselves without the cash, and consequentially without food on their plates. And when they get caught in the crossfire of a mafia grudge match, they may all reconsider their line of work. Made in tandem with the hit TV show, this two-manga series offers an alternative look at the quirky crew of the Bebop.''
