Chuck Jones & The Rules

• The road runner cannot harm or upset the coyote except by going 'MEEP!MEEP!'
• No outside force can harm the coyote, only his own ineptitude or the failure of Acme products.
• The coyote could stop anytime - if he were not a fanatic.
• No dialogue ever, except 'MEEP!MEEP!'.
• The road runner must stay on the road - otherwise, logically, he would not be called the ' Road runner'.
• All action must be confined to the natural environment of the 2 characters. The Southwest American desert.
• All materials, tools, weapons or mechanical conveniences must be obtained from Acme Corporation.
• Whenever possible, make gravity the coyote's greatest enemy.
• The coyote is always more humiliated by his failures, than harmed.
