Identification notes
What is known
Found image supplied for The Shadow Zone: a crossover edit placing Hank Hill of King of the Hill into the pose and outfit of Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop. Hank wears a blue suit with a loose yellow shirt, holds up a pistol in one hand and a smoking cigarette in the other, and wears his usual flat, unimpressed expression. The clash between the suburban propane salesman and the noir bounty hunter is the whole joke. Maker, origin, and date are not recorded. The exif scrub reported no location metadata to strip.
