In actuality, old cartoons were a complicated depiction of the dangers of obsession.
The dangers of programming obsessed with slapstick comedy, that is.
Tom from Tom and Jerry is more innocent than Wile Coyote! Wile is always trying to get Road Runner but Tom’s not always after Jerry & he’s not always mean to him.
I do believe Woo has just outsmarted Wile E Coyote with embarassing ease. If he had the scratch to buy rocket packs and homing missiles you’d think he’d just order pizza.
@ Passerby:
Do you have any idea what the delivery fees on a pizza delivered all the way out to the desert would be? Talk about outside the service area, lol.
@ Novil:
Hey, um, isn’t stealing the author’s online identity kinda illegal?
And, um, what do you mean by “deserts don’t exist”? I mean, not really in the US but… O.O look at a map, please.
@Mouse: You miss read Novil’s sarcasm. He was poking fun at Rabid calling Political overtones on this one cause its set in the Mohave desert. (A beautiful place by the way, for anyone that hasn’t been there)
@Rabid_Fox: I didn’t like the Politisizing of the comic either, but everyone tries it at least once. And in this strip, there wasn’t any. Its back to the carefree randomness. At least they learned. Cris Paloni didn’t and lost almost half his fan base.
I’m glad S&W is back to normal.
I was entirely sure that Rabid was facetiously mocking the usual “I don’t like the politics” comments that pop up from time to time… and that Novil was just riffing off that in a slightly less subtle manner. =/
Anyway… I’ve thought of a few possible Coyote & Roadrunner scenarios for potential satire… though they’re kinda…. dark, in my usual manner.
Seriously. For all the money he spent on ACME junk, he coulda bought a George Foreman grill, a year’s supply of chicken, and enough therapy to forget the Roadrunner exists.
No, the coyote was being shipped stuff on credit. When Acme sent the credit department after Wile E., just disappeared into the into the waste lands of Arizona/New Mexico and Acme had to write off several thousand dollars of bad debt. That does raise the question: How do you do a credit check on a coyote?
…And there was much rejoicing!
@JeremySkunk: ROFL
Where’d you get that poem from? 😀
Funfact: The creative minds at Warner chose ACME for the company name because it acronymed to A Company that Makes Everything.

First tweety now roadrunner. Go Woo!
Maybe Wile should have tried some POWERTHIRST!! But this works just as good.

dude, if only Wile E. Coyote was THIS smartXD
With all that money, he could’ve ordered a grilled roadrunner or hire the army.
@ Fairportfan:
The episode you’re thinking of is called “Zip Zip Hoorey” and can be viewed here:

But….but…..but…..you broke one of the sacred roadrunner rules! He can’t leave the road!
HAHAHAHA. LOL, this comic strip just made my day. 😛
I’ll try to explore this blog. hmmmmmm…
let’s start by now.

Read Chuck Jones autobiography, he devotes an entier chapter to this subject. It is surpriingly philisophical.

If only Wile E. Coyote did the same thing…
Maybe Wile.E.Coyote’s main aim isn’t to eat… but to just rid himself of a perpetual annoyance.
THERE we go! That’s how to do it!!
