Bet you didn't know this....Coyote and Road Runner

According to Chuck Jones, the duos creator and chief director, he and the artists behind the Road Runner and Wile E. cartoons adhered to some simple but strict

Rules:

Rule 1: Road runner cannot harm the Coyote except by going "Beep! Beep!"

Rule 2: No outside force can harm the Coyote -- only his own ineptitude or the failure of Acme products.

Rule 3: The Coyote could stop anytime -- If he was not a fanatic. (Repeat: "A fanatic is one who redoubles his effort when he has forgotten his aim." -George
Santayana)

Rule 4: No dialogue ever, except "Beep-Beep."

Rule 5: Road runner must stay on the road - for no other reason than he's a roadrunner.

Rule 6: All action must be confined to the natural environment of the two characters -- the southwest American desert.

Rule 7: All tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from the Acme Corporation.

Rule 8: Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote's greatest enemy.

Rule 9: The audience's sympathy must remain with the Coyote.
