wile E cotyote (Eatibus Anythingus) has had no success in catching the Road Runner (accelerati incredibulis), but all his efforts to try try again have become some of the funniest moments in cartoon history.

director Chuck Jones (animatus Perfectionus) and storyman Michael Maltese

(Literati Comedius) did succeed in producing one of the most popular cartoon series ever made.Told from the point of view of s hungry desert coyote,

these classic shorts are hilarious collection of traps that don't work elaborate plans gone awry, falling boulders,exploding dynamite and nonreturnable merchandise from the acme company.each gag is staged and timed to perfection,enchanced by Treg Brown's humorous bag of sound effects and Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn's superb musical direction. 

Jones created the pair for a one-shot 1949 cartoon Fast and Furry-ous, basubg Wile E's failures on his own inabilities with tools and contraptions as presented hear in Chronological order, its interesting to note how the backgrounds evolve from the realistic portraits of the American dessert (as in 1952'a beep,beep) to layout artist Maurice +Noble's abstract designs (1960's Hopalong Casualty) or how the desing of the Road Runner   and Wile E. (who speaks eloquently in his 1952 caper with Bugs Bunny, Operation Rabbit)

Became simpler and sleeker over the years. But one unchanging thing is the amount of laughter they still evoke so grab your racing goggles and buckle your seat belt: you're about to live life in the fast lane - Road Runner style!
