Your question for the day

Are Trent the Uncatchable and Vash the Stampede cross-cultural manifestations of the same archetype—goofy-seeming pacifists who do improbable things and around whom improbable things happen? If so, what other manifestations are there?

I wouldn't describe Coyote, Bugs Bunny, Roadrunner, or even Curly as "pacifist", though.

"Coyote" is not Wile E--he's the Trickster in many Indian tribes, much like Loki.

Bugs often sets things up in improbable ways so that Elmer does it to himself.

Wile E Coyote is often done in by his own devices, but not until Roadrunner shows up.

Curly is often the brunt of Moe's meanness, until Moe does it to himself again.
