Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runnerโ€˜s universe

Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runnerโ€˜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 3: The coyote could stop anytime โ€“ If he were not a fanatic (Repeat: โ€œA fanatic is one who redoubles his effort when he has forgotten his aim)
