So Desmond got Baby Jesica’ed by Smokey Locke last night. Which raises a big question: why couldn’t Smokey Locke kill him? Does this mean Desmond is a candidate, despite not seeing him listed anywhere?

And once the candidate is chosen, does he or she have to have an opposite? Does a new Jacob mean a new Smokey? Would a new Smokey have to have a reason to hate being on the island? Would a new Smokey have to have powers? Is Smokey Locke setting up Smokey Desmond?

And Sideways Desmond’s method of showing Sideways Hurley the truth is “love,” but his way of showing Sideways Locke is vehicular homicide? Guess Sideways Locke is going to end up under Sideways Jack’s scalpel anyway…

Please check out Trickster: Native American Tales: A Graphic Collection, edited by Matt Dembicki (founder of the DC Conspiracy)!

“All cultures have tales of the trickster—a crafty creature or being who uses cunning to get food, steal precious possessions, or simply cause mischief. He disrupts the order of things, often humiliating others and sometimes himself. In Native American traditions, the trickster takes many forms, from coyote or rabbit to raccoon or raven. The first graphic anthology of Native American trickster tales, Trickster brings together Native American folklore and the world of comics.

In Trickster more than twenty Native American tales are cleverly adapted into comic form. Each story is written by a different Native American storyteller who worked closely with a selected illustrator, a combination that gives each tale a unique and powerful voice and look. Ranging from serious and dramatic to funny and sometimes downright fiendish, these tales bring tricksters back into popular culture in a very vivid form. From an ego-driven social misstep in “Coyote and the Pebbles” to the hijinks of “How Wildcat Caught a Turkey” and the hilarity of “Rabbit’s Choctaw Tail Tale,” Trickster provides entertainment for readers of all ages and backgrounds.”
