Here's a terrific little WB cartoon we used to watch back in the day... The story was written by the tricky Michael Maltese and was directed by the master Chuck Jones, a collaboration that produced the funniest cartoons in the history of cartoons!..
Here are our characters, the lonely Coyote and the sonic speed demon, the Road Runner!
Things always start with a simple chase, but soon escalate into a comedy of errors.
The Coyote tries to match the speed of the Road Runner with the use of a big old bow... He does match his meal's speed though, but, his aim's a little off!
The Coyote just can't win, something weird is always happening to him!
And, it's never a good weird!..
Bring in some Acme grease, that'll slow the damn bird down, for sure! Of course, he gets himself stuck in the grease and has to try and get away before a big red truck runs him over, which it does with surgical accuracy!!
If nothing else works, well, buy a book, like, How To Tar And Feather A Road Runner, 10th printing even!
But again, the Coyote becomes the victim of his own devices!
Maybe a stick of TNT in the middle of the road will solve his problem... Uhh...
NOT!!
So, after 7 minutes of losing every round against his foe, the Coyote gives up and turns the place over to another maroon stupid enough to think it can catch that slippery speed demon!
He even helps end this failed attempt to get a decent meal! That's All Folks!.. Tune in tomorrow when we'll have something special for you, and them, and those guys over there too!
