Chuck Jones, Warner Bros cartoon director, was signing autographs at an art store. I had bought one of the animated cells that he created and I talked to him for a while. Very nice man, signed an autograph with a nice note. He created Wiley and did some of the funniest Warner Bros Cartoons ever made. (Duck Dodgers in the 24 th Centruy, Duck Amuck, etc..) He was the director of the toons. He worked with a writer two or three animators and people who created the cells for the cartoons. What is great about Wiley is this. The story is simple. You do not need any language or interpretation. It is funny in Idaho, in Great Britian, in Austrailia and everywhere. Wiley is obsessed with catching the Road Runner and that will never happen...
My kind of fellow!!!!!!!!!
Wiley E. Coyote.....
P.S. I got about 2/3 of the great Wiley E Coyote cartoons. There were some lousy ones made by another team after Jones left Warners, but the truly funny ones are his. I can watch the original and although I have seen it many times, still laugh
