]Wile E. Coyote (also known simply as "The Coyote") and the Road Runner are cartoon characters from a series of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons produced by Warner Bros while the template for their adventures was the work of writer Michael Maltese. The characters star in a long-running series of theatrical cartoon shorts (the first 16 of which were written by Maltese) and occasional made-for-television cartoons.
The series lampoons nature documentaries, where instead of animal senses and cunning, the Coyote uses absurd contraptions and elaborate plans to pursue his quarry.[citation needed]
The "E" in his name was said to stand for Ethelbert in one issue of a Looney Tunes comic book, but is actually a play on the word "wily". This was its only appearance, so if it was true is unknown. The coyote's last name is routinely pronounced with a long "e" ( "ky-O'-tee"), but in To Hare is Human, Wile is heard pronouncing it with a long "a" (e.g. "ky-O'-tay") to sound refined.
The Coyote has separately appeared as an occasional antagonist against Bugs Bunny in five shorts: Operation: Rabbit, To Hare is Human, Rabbit's Feat, Compressed Hare, and Hare-Breadth Hurry. While he is generally silent in the Coyote-Road Runner shorts, he speaks with a refined accent in these solo outings (except for Hare-Breadth Hurry), introducing himself as "Wile E. Coyote - super genius", voiced by Mel Blanc.[1] The Road Runner vocalizes only with a signature sound, "Beep, Beep" (sometimes Meep Meep), and an occasional tongue noise. The "Beep, Beep" was recorded by Paul Julian.[2]
To date, 45 cartoons have been made featuring these characters, the majority by Chuck Jones.
