Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner‘s universe
Every imaginary universe, be it sci-fi, fantasy or a novel, needs consistent rules that make sense in that context. Part of the charm of cartoons like Loonie Toons is the consistency of the worlds on top of which a healthy dose of unexpected twists and turns are sprikled. And that's how you get great comedy.
Chuck Jones, co-creator of some of the Loonie Toones cartoons had a set of 9 rules for the dinamic duo, which are respected in every episode.

Rules 1, 2 & 3
Rule 1: The 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 the ACME products.
Rule 3: The coyote could stop anytime – If he were not a fanatic (Repeat: “A fanatic is one who redoubles his effort when he has forgotten his aim)

Rules 4, 5, 6
Rule 4: No dialogue ever, except “Beep-Beep!”
Rule 5: The Road Runner must stay on the road – Otherwise, logically, he would not be called a road runner.
Rule 6: All action must be confined to the natural environment of the two characters – the Southwest American Desert.

All of them together
The listed rules come from Jones autobiography, Chuck Amuck: The Life and Times of an Animated Cartoonist, which was published in 1999. The rules have circulated around in various tweets and articles.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
