The Grizzwells by Bill Schorr for February 05, 2018

This takes me way back to when this strip was in our local paper. I remember Gunther chasing the Roadrunner and one of his kids saying Dad was going out for fast food. I am not sure how long this strip has been around but I think this was in the ’80s.

Wouldn’t we all.

actually the coyote does run faster the the road runner. all those cartoons have been lying to us.

NO! Say it ain’t so!

I watched those cartoons ,back in the day and I would say that the Coyote wasn’t that “Wiley”!

He uses the wrong bait. Roadrunners don’t eat birdseed. They eat small rodents & reptiles, maybe a large spider. They eat rattlesnakes.

Coyote actually did catch the roadrunner in the later cartoons. After catching him, he broke the fourth wall and held up a sign that said, “Now what do I do with him?” The roadrunner then took off leaving his image in a cloud of dust.

Taz caught him once, then the phone rang.

An Englishman took a holiday at a Texas dude ranch. As he was being driven to the ranch the driver constantly bragged about Texas. When a roadrunner ran across the highway the Texan said, “And that there is the Bird of Paradise.” And the Englishman replied, “My, he’s a long way from home.”

I think we all secretly (or not so secretly) sympathize with Gunther here. It’s kinda depressing to see the coyote lose time after time….
