This episode is about Spike and a cowboy named Andy. Andy has a lot of similarities with Spike and is the main reason for the conflict. The script: A bomber is trying to blow up skyscrapers, but Spike is more concerned about a cowboy on horseback that hinders his attempts to catch the bounty.
The episode starts like it is going to be a crime story. We have a well-written villain with a strong motive. He encounters Spike, gets caught, and threatens him with the other bombs to escape. The script is, in a way, predictable, but then Andy comes out. From that point, the episode turns into a comedy. Andy doesn't belong in this episode. And the writers make whatever they can to highlight it. His outfit, horse, and phrases make him look like he is from another story. That absurdity drives the comedy, and the level of it increases naturally. All events affect each other, like a typical script. This episode proves when writing an absurd comedy, the plot doesn't need to be random and unrealistic. It is possible to do it in a way that helps characters show their absurdities.
I enjoyed the art style as usual. Especially the sunset duel was astonishing. The voice acting still isn't a standard I can criticize, but it doesn't sound off.
