I myself liked the remake (and I have actually read all 3 volumes  ). Don't know. Nowadays only old people smoke pipes and since it's a remake it's modernized - so he goes with cigarettes. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Besides, the storys still remain dark (at leats if they were originally like that), not all happy pappy like the TV series. I also like the artwork. Sure BJ looks like he's ready to kill - but now at least I can understand all those people saying that he looks scary. Of all the remake stuff I've seen now of BJ I like this one best. By far. |

I'll have to agree with you, Huscheli. I did see a picture of BJ smoking a pipe here.  Does he smoke on TV? I've never seen it. |

On TV....*thinks* No, I can't recall him smoking pipes or cigarettes in the series. Maybe because it's targeted towards children too and so it wouldn't be that good for a popular character to smoke "anything" *_*

Yup, he appears smoking the pipe on the anime chapter 44, and causes a fire on his office too!

Smoking...not so cool

HE SET FIRE ON HIS... FOR SMOKING A... HAHAHAHAHAHA. *DEAD*
BJ, OH, FREAKIN', BJ. I LOVE YOU MORE EACH DAY <333
"Sure BJ looks like he's ready to kill - but now at least I can understand all those people saying that he looks scary."
...XD LOLLERCOPTERS TO THE MAX.
And yeah, BJ smokes apparently. XD; The very first instance you see him do so is in Chapter 2 of the Manga, while he is talking to his client... "The Face in the Affliction", in the Viz translation. Though I suppose he does it very rarely? I haven't read enough of the manga to decide. That and he DID sit in the non-smoking section of the airplane in the 2nd OAV episode (don't spoil me on the next ones, I haven't watched them yet!) So I guess he only smokes whenever he feels stressed/troubled or is thinkin' really deeply? XD; I can't find it very characteristic of BJ to smoke, personally, BUT, a friend of mine mentioned she had once (and only once I think XD) tried some sort of powder for a pipe that wasn't a drug because it wasn't actually harmful, but it had the same smoothing effect? In her words, it was the "...woahh..." effect XD I'm only quoting her on that tho, I don't know much about it other than that.
(No, I don't actually have any BJ merchandise myself... except this one thing manga with two of the stories... and none of the ones I mentioned are in it. XD; I just happened to find scans of the first two chapters, then the Dingo and "Helping Each Other/Mutual Aid" chapters from a friend who was kind enough to scan them for me.)

There! Finally! I finally saw the whole thing. And I admit Rock here is *cough* *cough* cute...
Hearing about BJ smoking reminds me of something unlikely I found out about Sherlock Holmes: he injects hiself with morphine or cocaine especially when he's bored.
I guess I'm getting addicted to the smell of markers... Ugh... BA! Why do you need to be colored in black so much! I'll become an addict this way! I'm losing all sanity! I torture myself coloring you and buying so much black pens for your sake!
Black Ace: *sips coffee and head drops to the desk*
WAKE UP!!!

Don't forget that Sherlock also smoked opium!
(Be careful of what kind of markers you use! or at least open the windows when you are using it!)

I put on a surgical mask once while working with my markers (alcohol-based markers), I should do it more often. They can really kill your brain cells. And they smell horrible. XD;;

They do!? Good thing there was frog dissection day... Poor froggies! It was alive for the whole procedure but we had to drown it in formalin! And I thought I might have a chance to at least sew it back together! I wanted to bury it but the teacher used it for the practical exam!

Oh my god, my class had to dissect live frogs too. One of them recovered and, while everyone was having recess (our Science had two periods, recess was inbetween) and I was left behind voluntarily (I was a class officer), it broke free of its pins holding it down and jumped back into its normal position and... oh god, I can't describe it, it was terrible.
I was against dissection in the first place. That's a whole 'nother story. What infuriates me is the other class/section dissected them dead! What the hell?

Yeah, it broke free and... I'd rather not describe it. Since I was one of the only people left I had to... try to pin it back to its original position. :X I felt so bad... I hated that day so much. :X My classmates are so cruel...
