Wile E. Coyote : THE LOONEY TUNES SPOT (963 words) |
 | Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner are cartoon characters from a series of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons, created by Chuck Jones for Warner Brothers. |
 | The Road Runner shorts are very simple in their premise: the Road Runner, a flightless cartoon bird (loosely based on a real bird, the Greater Roadrunner), is chased down the highways of the Southwestern United States by a hungry toon coyote, named Wile E. Coyote (a pun on "wily coyote"). |
 | Sometimes the episode is concluded with Wile E. being flattened by a truck (with the Road Runner grinning from the rear window). |

 | They are very simple in their premise: the Road Runner, a flightless cartoon bird (loosely based on a real bird, the roadrunner), is chased down the highways of the Southwestern United States by a hungry coyote, named Wile E. Coyote (a pun on "wily coyote"). |
 | In a third series of cartoons, the character design of Wile E. Coyote was taken and renamed "Ralph Wolf." In this series, Ralph continually attempted to steal sheep from a flock being guarded by the eternally vigilant Sam Sheepdog. |
 | As with the Road Runner series, Ralph Wolf used all sorts of wild inventions and schemes to steal the sheep, but he was continually foiled by the sheepdog. |
