If Wile E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just go to a drive in and buy some McNuggets?
Maybe it's just the thrill of the hunt.
Or maybe it's a rhetorical question put forth for comedic effect.
Or maybe there's no McDonalds in the Greater Vast-Empty-Desert Area, presumably somewhere in either Arizona or New Mexico.
And yet, there's quite often large delivery trucks speeding along the roads at the most inconvenient times. Where are they going?
Are we going to sit here and rhetorically analyze Coyote and Road Runner cartoons all day? That would be cool with me.
As much fun as that would be...I do have to get to work at some point today. So instead of talking about Road Runner cartoons, let's watch one!
Sounds like a plan.
Here is one of the all-time great Coyote and Road Runner cartoons, called "To Beep or Not To Beep." The most prominent feature of this short is the Catapult Series, in which Wile E. Coyote gets whooped up on repeatedly by a rock-flinging catapult. File this one under "Repetition is Funny" as the device finds new and ever-increasingly creative ways to dump a giant boulder on top of our hero.
Is the Coyote really the Protagonist here? Granted, we see each episode from his perspective, but he's the bad guy. Nobody actually wants him to catch the Road Runner.
All part of the creative genius. Enjoy!
