What is your favorite portrayal of the trickster archetype in popular culture?

Eden Robinson's Trickster trilogy is great- set in contemporary northwest Canada, but lots to inspire Gloranthan shamanism.

Fantastic portrayal of Wee'git (Raven) and Indigenous spirit worlds crashing into our own.

or Donald Duck.

Daffy perhaps... much more so than Donald (lest you refer to the small handed... never mind).

I liked Mad Sweeney in American Gods,

How could you not.

Sam (Lord of Light)

Would Sam not be closer to an Argrath kind of figure... he has trickster aspects but not sure he is a trickster. A great protagonist, yes!

He would fit, though Odin and Loki in American Gods maybe more so.

 

Being introduced to Odin as Gaiman sees him was the first time I saw him as a trickster. Well played Mr Gaiman, well played!

... remember, with a TARDIS, one is never late for breakfast!
