词汇 | wiley e coyote |
词源 | Wiley E. Coyote. The name of this famous cartoon character, who has become synonymous with ineptitude and humiliation for his futile efforts to get Roadrunner, was coined by cartoonist and director Chuck Jones (Charles Martin Jones, 1912–2002) when he invented the Coyote-Roadrunner series in 1949. There is no dialogue except “beep beep” in the cartoon. The animator claimed Mark Twain’s Roughing It inspired his invention. Mr. Jones also solely created the skunk Pepe Le Pew, sketched Bugs Bunny for more than 50 years, and helped create Daffy Duck, Elmer Fudd, and Porky Pig, among other beloved cartoon char- acters. His autobiography is entitled Chuck Amuck: The Life and Times of an Animated Cartoonist (1989). See what’s up doc? |
