Does the Coyote ever catch the Road Runner?

Kainantu

Here's the word from Jerry Beck, who with Will Friedwald wrote Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies: A Complete Illustrated Guide to the Warner Bros. Cartoons (1989): No, the Coyote never ate the Road Runner. He did, however, catch the bird in one cartoon, produced in 1980 by creator Chuck Jones. That film, Soup or Sonic, was part of a TV special called Bugs Bunny's Bustin' Out All Over. In that film the Coyote shrinks to tiny size but manages to grab the Road Runner's giant (to him) leg. Unfortunately the Coyote is like a tiny insect to the bird. He holds up a sign to the audience: 'Okay wise guys, you always wanted me to catch him. Now what do I do?' http://www.straightdope.com/columns/010330.html -------------------------------------------------------------------- ROAD RUNNER In the cartoons, the coyote never wins; in the game, he never loses. The main difference between the Road Runner cartoons and Mindscape's unusually fun Road Runner game is that in the cartoons, Wile E. Coyote never eats the Road Runner- only the big one. http://www.atarimagazines.com/v7n7/STGamesGallery.html Oct 13 02, 5:49 AM
