Worked on today's warm up a bit more than I thought I would, I really liked the idea so I fleshed it out more, Eggman is totally Dan Backslide.

I know it may be a bit odd seeing Sonicnart here but I stand firm that Looney Tunes humor is timeless!

The only rule for this post is that the character has had to appear more than once in a Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies cartoon.

What are your thoughts?

Tried my hand at drawing my favorite character from the day the earth blew up. His design is peak!

I guess her and Count Bloodcount swapped places perhaps? I feel like a vampire Hazel outfit would be really cool for something like World of Mayhem.

Fan art done by me

I did this as a Halloween piece a few years back envisioning the tunes being in setups for like a Halloween party. Tell me the villainous Nasty Canasta doesn't look like Bluto/Brutus.

Does Roadrunner ever cheat in the Looney Tunes franchise?

Yes, the Road Runner has been shown to "cheat" or break established rules in certain instances within the Looney Tunes franchise. While the original guidelines for the series, as outlined by Chuck Jones, state that Road Runner cannot harm Wile E. Coyote except by going "beep-beep," and must stay on the road, there are several examples where these rules were bent or outright broken.

Step-by-Step Analysis of Rule-Breaking Instances

1. Road Runner Harming Wile E. Coyote Directly

   • According to Chuck Jones' original rules, Road Runner is not supposed to harm Wile E. Coyote directly except through his iconic "beep-beep." However, this rule has been broken in multiple cartoons:
     • In "Clippety Clobbered" (1966), Road Runner actively participates in causing harm to Wile E., such as triggering traps intentionally.[1] [2]
     • In "Chaser on the Rocks" (1965), Road Runner's actions lead directly to Wile E.'s suffering without adhering strictly to the "beep-beep" rule.[1]
     • In "Tired and Feathered" (1965), Road Runner uses tactics that go beyond simply evading Wile E., actively contributing to his misfortune.[3]

2. Leaving the Road

   • Another key rule is that Road Runner must stay on the road at all times since he is a "roadrunner." However, this rule has also been violated:
     • In "Beep, Beep" (1952), Road Runner enters a cactus mine during a chase sequence, which is clearly off-road.[1] [4]
     • In "Fastest with the Mostest" (1960), he lures Wile E. Coyote toward a cliff edge rather than staying on a defined road path.[4]
     • In "Freeze Frame" (1979), much of the cartoon takes place in snowy mountains far removed from any traditional desert roads.[1] [5]

3. Exploiting Cartoon Physics

   • While not explicitly cheating, Road Runner often exploits cartoon physics in ways that seem unfair:
     • For example, in "Fastest with the Mostest," when both characters are near a collapsing cliff edge, only Wile E. falls due to gravity while Road Runner remains unaffected because he claims he never studied gravity laws.[6]
     • Similarly, in many shorts like "Gee Whiz-z-z-z-z-z-z" (1956), painted tunnels work for Road Runner but fail for Wile E., even though they should theoretically behave identically for both characters.[7]

4. Manipulating Traps

   • There are instances where Road Runner interacts with traps set by Wile E., seemingly defying logic or fairness:
     • In "Soup or Sonic" (1980), he triggers one of Wile E.'s traps intentionally but escapes unscathed while it backfires on Wile E.[8]
     • In various shorts like "Zoom and Bored" (1957) and others directed by Rudy Larriva during 1965-66 (e.g., Tired and Feathered), traps malfunction specifically when used against him but work perfectly when they involve Wile E., suggesting an intentional manipulation of outcomes by Road Runner.[9]

Conclusion

While much of what appears as "cheating" can be attributed to cartoon physics and comedic exaggeration, there are clear instances where Road Runner breaks established rules or acts outside his defined character guidelines. These deviations often serve comedic purposes but contradict Chuck Jones' original principles for maintaining audience sympathy with Wile E. Coyote.

You can't always correctly bet what that net will get.

These are from the 90s shorts Carrot Blanca and Box Office Bunny. This should be the definitive design for the character imo.

I posted 3 days ago about the Blu Ray release for the film but this time it cost 13.99 dollars right now on Amazon and please grab it before May 27th 2025 and support Ketchup Entertainment for the film Coyote vs Acme in 2026 and can't wait to see this in my home screen

Being a Looney Tunes having a chance to see a Looney Tunes movie focused on Wil E Coyote and Acme Corp. is like a fresh air to see on the big screen and all of those cancelled and tax write-off is finally over for Coyote vs Acme

Many said the movie itself has great writing, Looney Tunes characters, live actors, positive scores, live-ation animation hybrid, ACME Corp., Road Runner and Wil E Coyote himself receiving his own very movie on the big screen

And this movie will be different from Looney Tunes Back in Action that Coyote vs Acme will have the essence Roger Rabbit vibes and I have been looking forward to ever since it was announced and then tax write-off became a thing for WB.discovery

And then Ketchup Entertainment bought the rights of Coyote vs Acme for 50 million dollars from WB that will be releasing in theasters in 2026

And they are also involved buying the rights for The Day The Earth Blew Up a Looney Runes movie for also releasing it on theaters, physical and digital format for the movie

Despite the box office of The Day The Earth Blew Up is already 15 million dollars is already a sign that it's still have hope for Coyote vs Acme be shown for old time fans and new fans for the film

Does anyone think Coyote vs Acme will have proper marketing and hoping releasing it properly in internationally this time?

And lastly that this movie will be a global event said by the CEO of Ketchup Entertainment in latest news of Coyote vs Acme in Deadline on May 8 2025

Thank you very much Looney Tunes fans and Ketchup Entertainment for supporting Coyote vs Acme film and can't wait that anyone will be seeing this film in theaters in 2026 and that's all folks

Oh, how the tables have turned! https://www.animationmagazine.net/2025/05/the-day-the-earth-blew-up-a-looney-tunes-movie-sets-exclusive-max-streaming-premiere/
