Jackalope Jones

Jackalope Jones is a cowboy, and the boyfriend of Mountain Laurel. He treats the Stranger kindly but patronizingly, perceiving him as slow-witted, provincial and incompetent; though it is apparent that Jackalope himself is not too bright. He gets in spats with Mountain Laurel because of his buffoonish, unreliable behavior and relies upon the stranger to get him out of these situations.
