History Recap / LuckyLuke39TheBountyHunter

* LoopholeAbuse: There is a law against refusing to serve a bounty hunter, and Elliot Belt threatens to denounce the bartender if he denies him a drink. The bartender simply pours the whisky on the counter for Belt to lick, pointing out that the law never specifies that the drink has to be in a glass.

* WantedPoster: Plenty are seen in this story, for obvious reasons. Belt waits outside of the printing business then follows the print worker who puts the Wanted posters for Tea Spoon all over the town to rip them off the walls so he'll be the only BountyHunter who knows of the enormous reward for Tea Spoon.

* HatedByAll: Bounty hunters are particularly despised by everyone in TheWildWest, even moreso than criminals and outlaws. Belt is hated enough so that the reward money is thrown at his feet, drinks aren't served to him in glasses (they're poured on the bar instead) and in the saloon TheChanteuse won't sing and the piano player won't play as long as he's there.

* ComfortFood: Whenever Bronco Fortworth is in a fit of rage, his servant rushes in with a piece of sugar (in French the word "susucre" is used) which he then eats to calm down.

Elliott Belt is a ruthless, feared and despised bounty hunter since his very childhood. He proposes an alliance to Lucky Luke, who outright rejects it. The day wealthy horse rancher Bronco Fortworth puts out a bounty with a $100,000 for anyone who would bring him Tea Spoon, a Native he hired as horse carer and thinks stole his favorite horse Lord Washmouth III, Belt jumps on the case while Luke tries to find Tea Spoon and avoid a war with the Native tribe.

** Elliott Belt's profession. He's been hunting bounties since his childhood, up to denouncing ''himself'' to his father or schoolmates to his teachers and building himself a clandestine breeding of rats to bring them for rewards during times of rat extermination.

** Luke gets offered reward money too for bringing wanted criminals to prison, but he insists on the money being used for charity or for the criminal's victims. The latest criminal he brings to prison is genuinely moved by this and congratulates him for that gesture.
