LAUGHING BULL

The shaman. Appears briefly, twice, and speaks to Spike in metaphors about stars and fate that are easier to dismiss than they are to forget. Laughing Bull is Bebop's spiritual register, the show acknowledging that underneath the jazz and the noir and the bounty-of-the-week structure there is something older and quieter being asked. He does not explain it. He does not need to. See you, space cowboy.
