persistent behavior. It isn't the roadrunner who is funny, it is poor Wiley..and that is why they made those toons that way. If you look them up, you will find that only 25 to 30 toons were made with Roadrunner &Wiley and those 25 have created an incredible following. (The original ones made in the 50s and early 60s)
...Now, I first saw them in the theaters on large screens. There was a theater near me, that had 25 cartoons for 25cents.. About 3 hours straight of toons. Most of the toons were Warner Bros toons because the theater had very close association or were owned by them...

...Yes...it was the mid and late 50s...and guess what?...it is no surprise...
......I always rooted for Wiley to catch the stupid dick of a Roadrunner..always..in the 50s on a large screen,,

...Chuck Jones made them and directed them..I met him once, and he said he made them very simple and easy to understand for one reason...They were very easy to make..He did this so he could make other very expensive toons way beyond budget..That is what he said. You would have to study cartoons, like I have to understand the ease at which those Roadrunner toons were made, as compared to others that Warner
Bros made..

...OK one last tidbit of information..Why did I study this?...One reason only..Those toons made me laugh and made me happy. That is it.!!! (oh, they still do)..Poor Wiley...He is my hero, he doesn't give up..

Yeah, well I'm sure Trump is the only one who feels that way... Wounded Bear May 2020 #1
