Dressing in drag works for every Warner Bros. cartoon character, right?
Not Wile E. Coyote in Going! Going! Gosh! (1952).
The Roadrunner simply races past him, then returns to explain why before turning around and resuming his running.
Lloyd Vaughn, Ben Washam and Ken Harris are the credited animators, with Bob Gribbroek laying out the short and Phil De Guard working on the backgrounds. Both Carl Stalling and Milt Franklyn get credits.
I just noticed the Road Runner nicks the Coyote's wig. In my memory I assumed it was a different one.
ReplyDeleteHe also attempted another one where he pretended to be a schoolgirl crossing the road with a school crossing sign. The Roadrunner ran him down anyway and came back with a sign saying: 'Roadrunners can't read.
ReplyDeleteJust a quick, simple gag--But the Herb Alpert-ish music and Wile E's "two dollar hooker" gyrations really sell it.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever feel like stirring up some trouble, start a conversation on whether drag is to gender what blackface is to race (and if not, why not).
