THE ONE AND ONLY WILE E COYOTE-ALTHOUGH MAINLY REFERRED TO AS 'THE COYOTE" FOR THOSE (LIKE MYSELF) HIS MIDDLE IS CLAIMED TO BE ETHELBERT-BUT NEVER REALLY MUCH THOUGHT GIVEN TO IT.
The Coyote's surname is routinely pronounced with a long "e" (/kaɪˈoʊtiː/ ky-OH-tee),in one cartoon in the early days-identified him as "Don Coyote", a pun of the name Don Quixote.
CHUCK JONES CREATED OUR COYOTE AS THE RATHER UNSUCCESSFULlL CAD WHO WANTED TO HAVE THE ROAD RUNNER AS A MAIN COURSE OF HIS NEXT MEAL.(THERE WERE A FEW CARTOONS WHERE BUGS BUNNY WAS HIS PREY) AND THE ONLY TIME YOU HEAR WILE SPEAK PROVIDED BY MEL BLANC, AN ENGLISH MAD PROFESSOR TYPE OF ACCENT, WHEREAS AS WE ALL KNOW THE ROAD-RUNNER HAD THESE LINES-BEEP BEEP!!! THERE WERE TWO CARTOONS WHERE HE DID SAY OUCH, INSTEAD OF HOLDING UP A SIGN)

. AND ALTHOUGH A SLY WOLF, HE SEEMS ADDICTED TO USING ACME GISMOS (A MAIL ORDER COMPANY THAT ENDLESS SENDS HIM VARIOUS CRATES)
AND BACKFIRING EQUIPMENT OR AT LEAST IN HIS SET UP OF THEM. INGENIOUS CONTRAPTIONS ARE SET UP THAT HAVE A NEVERENDING 'ALMOST WORKED" ON THE PREY AND QUITE SUCCESSFULLY ON THE UNKNOWING PREDATOROR OR BY WILE'S.- INEPTITUDE OF HOW IT WORKS OR HIS OBSESSION GETTING A HOLD OF AND SINKING HIS LOGIC.
WE ALSO DO HAVE A BIT OF SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL AS HIS CONTRAPTIONS WORK ALL TOO WELL EXCEPT GET HIM IN USUALLY IN SOME SLAPSTICK FASHION AND AS HE LOOKS AT US WITH THE "OH SHIT" EYES.
ACTUALLY, WILE E COYOTE WAS FASHIONED AFTER A SAMUEL CLEMMONS BOOK-MARK TWAIN-'ROUGHING IT" WITH AN INTERESTING PORTRAYAL OF THE COYOTE-"LONG, SLIM, SICK LOOKING SKELETON AND WITH THE CAVEAT "LIVING BREATHING ALLEGORY OF THE DESIRE TO WANT".
TO THAT END CHUCK JONES MADE A RAVENOUS APPETITE FOR THAT ROAD RUNNER-AND AS LIFE ALWAYS HAS ITS IRONY, JONES HAD WANTED THE ROAD RUNNER VS WILE E COYOTE TO BE A PARODY OF SORTS OF "CAT AND MOUSE CARTOONS" AND THEN LATER JONES DID WORK WITH LATER ON IN HIS CAREER.
ANOTHER INNOVATION IN ARTISTRY WAS THE BACKGROUND SCENERY-IT WENT TO WHERE ROCK FORMATIONS WERE IN THE FOREFRONT AND COLORS TURNED MORE WARM WEATHER?)
RED, ORANGE, AND YELLOW. AND CLOUDS WENT FROM SMALL PUFFY TO CRESCENT SHAPED CLOUDS.
MOST LAWS OF PHYSICS ALWAYS APPLY TO WILE E COYOTE AND DO TEND TO
DISPENSE FOR THE ROAD RUNNER ON OCCASION
. AS MENTIONED ACME IS HIS MAIN SUPPLIER FOR TRYING TO CAPTURE THE ROAD RUNNER BUT SOMETIMES JUST DON'T WORK CORRECTLY, OR WORK ALL TOO WELL AND NEVER TO THE ADVANCE OF WILE, SAD TO SAY.
ALTHOUGH A LONER, WILE DID HAVE MANY CAMEOS IN CARTOONS AND DID WORK WITH A FEW OTHERS
AND WILE CONTINUES THE CHASE.......
